Hemophilia is an x-linked trait so it is most common in males. Hemophilia was first found in jewish people becuase they circumcised. Hemophilia is known as the 'Royal disease". It is called the 'royal disease' because a long time ago when kings and queens ruled countries it seemed to commonly run in royal families. immediate

Leopold 1, son of queen Victoria, was one of the many royal heirs to have the 'royal disease'. He got the condition from his mother.
