This topic prompts my own question, is Charles unique in his having many wives? or did emperors before him do the same?
As to the discussion, well most nobles did intermarry, although it was mostly among cousins and not half-siblings, there was a time when most of Europe's nobility was related in some way, arranged marriages are common even among those in the higher class of society, so I'm not suprised that it would be practice in Britannia.
