Why did children always die in ancient royal families? What is the real reason?

Since ancient times, the ruthless emperor family. In ancient times, children had a high mortality rate due to medical conditions, and in the royal family, in the harem of intrigue, in order to compete for favor and the throne. There were a lot of poisoning of the prince.

Because the royal family is full of all kinds of struggles. The real reason is natural selection, survival of the fittest, you can't fight other brothers and sisters will be killed.

There was no advanced medical technology in ancient times. In fact, it is not only the children of the royal family who are prone to early death, but also the children born to ordinary people are more likely to die early.

Because of political reasons, there are many emperors' sons, but only one can be the emperor, and the other sons all go to be vassal kings, but many emperors will kill vassal kings for fear of affecting their own country, so it is best to start from a baby.

I think there are at least two things:

1.Medicine in ancient times was not very developed.

2.Intra-palace feuds, political struggles ......

Poor hygiene.

The level of medical care is low.

The harem battle is fierce.

Relationships are chaotic.

Because the ancient royal harem was relatively chaotic and the competition for favor was very fierce, many ancient royal children died at a young age.

Because medicine was very underdeveloped at that time, many children died when they got sick.

On the one hand, it may be because he was born into the royal family, was brutally involved in the royal struggle, and was sacrificed; On the other hand, in ancient times, there were more close relatives who married, so the offspring were not very healthy after birth;

Because the medical conditions in ancient times were not developed, many royal children would die of illness.

Because the competition in the ancient royal palace was very fierce. So it's very likely that someone else will kill you.

Because many of the royal families in ancient times were married by close relatives, their children had many defects, so they died at a young age.

Early marriage and early childbearing and marriage of close relatives are a major phenomenon that causes the early death of royal children. But there is also a rotten eye that causes hunger and becomes a royal child, and the early death of the child is the backward level of medical care.
