Nephew to aunt is closer but of course people back then didn't understand genetics. Within royalty I don't think it would raise any eyebrows. After King Tut died his uncle married Tut's sister. Since John's claim to the throne is better than hers marriage is really the only solution.

Yes, true. If the genetics are perfect and there are no mutations then there is no genetic issue.

We're worrying about scientific verisimilitude, when they say a medieval city has a million people?

Ancient Rome actually is estimated to have just around one million at its peak.
