I quess it would be similar to two people who both have William the Conquerer, and only him, as a common ancestor who get married. And on the subject of marrying relatives, in ancient times it used to be common. Abraham and Sarah(from the Bible), for example, were half-siblings. Jacob married two of his cousins. They wanted the family to stay together. But that changed later on.
