So, as those few of you who read CotC might know, I've been stuck for a while, so I've decided to cover the whole thing in mothballs and leave it be for now. I'll almost certainly come back to it later, since it's one of my favorite ideas. However, I am now stuck between two of my OTHER favorite ideas, and I wanted to ask the community which one sounds better. So here it is:

The Iceling Cometh: Ecgfrith Iclingas of Mercia does not in fact die of illness mere months after ascending to the throne and manages to establish lasting Mercian Supremacy throughout southern and eastern England. Features a powerful Iceling-led Mercia leading the defense against the Danish invasions.

The Younger, Not The Lesser: Pepin II of Aquitaine, great-grandson of Charlemagne, has a near-death experience shortly after the death of his father and his ascension to the throne of Aquitaine, causing him to reconsider his life choices and stop drinking and generally being an SOB. This, ultimately, leads to him not inviting Jarl Oscar to help defend Aquitaine and actually being far more popular with the Aquitainian nobility, eventually allowing him to defeat Charles the Bald and force him to recognize Aquitaine's independence under Pepin and his descendants.
 
The Iceling Cometh currently leads with fourteen votes, but the Younger, Not The Lesser is catching up with twelve. Who will claim final victory in this battle to the death?

Stay tuned. /bump

The Younger, Not The Lesser sounds interesting. In the long-term you'll see a weaker France which really changes up European History.
 
The Younger, Not The Lesser probably has bigger long term affect, The Iceling Cometh (while having a much cooler name) sounds to me like it may turn out somwhat similar to OTL, with a stronger britian faster but still unified. When in doubt go with disunion rather then union
 
TYNTL has pulled ahead with twenty-eight votes, but the Iceling could still Come with 25! Tune in to see who wins this thrilling competition, this Sunday! (sunday...sunday...sunday...)
 
An alternative history for France with the resulting butterflies sound a lot more interesting than another version of a stronger Britain. :)
