How was hemophilia discoverd?


WHo discovered hemophilia, when and how?

Haemophilia figured prominently in the history of European royalty and thus is sometimes known as "the royal disease". Queen Victoria passed the mutation to her son Leopold and, through several of her daughters, to various royals across the continent, including the royal families of Spain, Germany and Russia. For this reason it was once popularly known as "the royal disease".

Haemophilia is not believed to have been native to either of the Americas or Australia, but brought there by European migrants.
