Weirdist possible Royal House

Hohenzollern France?
Habsburg England?
Stuart Spain?
(What's at least somewhat good chances to see in a random ATL?)

Probably the strangest would be mixing the royal houses of the East and the West- Yamato England? Hapsburg China? Qing France? Hohenzollern Persia?

Though I have no idea how that could come about, it would certainly be interesting...

From my "dynastic union between England and Spain" thread: Plantagenet Spain? Trastamara England?

I once had the idea for a Brazil that's set up as a big penal colony, and at the time when the Royals in France and Spain are sent to exile by Republicans, some French guy called Louis Philippe appears there with the real (he says) crown jewels of France, claims he's a member of the Royal family, and becomes first emperor of Braseal (as it's called TTL)...

Very implausible, but might be able to think of a few for fetched possibilities




- European Colonial Empires are forced to give positions independence for unusual reasons, are able to leave members of own royal house on the throne
- Eastern Empires colonize Europe, then see ^

- Dynastic Interplay between East and West (would require early POD to get Europeans to respect Eastern Cultures more, said Easterners would have to be somehow Christian as well )



I was looking for things that were a little bit more plausible, thou…

If the East became Nestorian or some sort of other Eastern Christianity, that might be close to enough- there were royal marriages with Orthodox Russia OTL, after all...

In my Anti-Habsburg TL, I'm looking at a potential Anjou-run Provence-Naples-Hungary union. There's also going to be a Premyslid Bohemia-Poland. And potentially, for a while at least, a Habsburg Switzerland analogue.

One early morning in NASA:

"Sir, I have some bad news and some good news. First the bad - we have lost the space race to Mars, the Danes are there!"

"What!? And what are the good news then?"

"They are all up there and have now proclaimed the Glücksburg Monarchy of Mars!"

Royal marriage, one family dies out, the winner... er, lucky survivor gets it all. Dynastical union of two countries, with the possibility to split up later.

Hapsburg England isn't hard. Mary Tudor was married to one.

I don't see how events happening all the way in the east would get rid of the families- possibly the Romanovs, but the rest?

I've heard once or twice that an English cricketer was once offered the Albanian throne in the 20s. Now that would be weird...test matches in Tirana?
