List Alternate Monarchs

Well anyway, I saw that there is a thread for listing alternate PMs or Presidents and being the conservative monarchy supporter I am, I decided to make a thread that's exactly the same except this time listing kings, queens, emperors and all those types of people. Since I'm new here, I don't know if you already have a thread like this. If you do, pleast tell me and I'll be sure to move my post.

I'm going to start off this thread with a list of monarchs of England from one of my timelines. The POD for this timeline is the Arthur Tudor surviving his premature death in 1502 and becoming king over his younger brother, the OTL Henry VIII. The thread specifically for this timeline is hidden somewhere in this forum.

A couple of notes:

--Richard V abdictated in 2004 due to a scandal involving an Irish terrorist (which I will explain later because it's complex) in favor of his sister Patricia. Now, this was a contoversial move on Rick's part because doing this he violated several parts of the English succession law. Patty was fourth in line before Rick's abdictation. Before her were his two twin daughters Kara and Victoria who were only nine years old at the time. Rick bypassed them because in this TL the monarch of England today is not a figurehead and is still the supreme leader of the country above the PM. Rick for obvious reasons didn't want a nine year old queen because then there would have to be a regent (which there hasn't been since the 1500s when Catherine I was queen) and everything would be confusing. Also to make matters worse, his daughters are twins so if Kara succeeds him as king (because she is minutes older than her twin sister) then who knows what Victoria would do in the future. So for those reasons in Rick's mind, the twins were out. Then was his little brother Prince Maurice who was 32 at the time. After the twins, he was technically next in line due to male preference primogeniture policies but Rick did not want him for several reasons. First despite being brothers, Rick and Maurice can't stand each other because they had a major falling out in the early 90's which I also cant get into explaining right now. Anyway for more legitimate purposes, Maurice was a heavy partier, drinker, smoker, drug addict and has gotten in trouble in the law early for being caught with a prostitute. Rick didn't want this on the throne so he excluded him too. Anyway, the parliament hated Rick for lying that he knowingly let an Irish terrorist and two of his cronies into a secret area of Winchester Palace that Prime Minister Simon Cowell (I know butterflies are creepy sometimes) and the majority of the rest of the parliament just let Rick have his way of succession so he could go. And for that long winded reason, Patty two is queen today.
--Now wait? Why is she two? There's only one Patricia! Well on her coronation, she made her regnal number II as a tribute to her highly influential ancestor the queen-consort of Julian the Great also named Patricia whom she was named after. Patricia was also her mother the late Queen Victoria's role model.

POD: Emperor Montezuma II dies of a heart attack in 1519.

House of Acamapichtli:
Atlixcatzin [1] (May 1519 - December 1524)
Tlacotzin [2] (December 1524 - June 1526)
Cuauhtemotzin [3] (June 1526 - August 1526)
Matlatzincatzin [4] (August 1526 - March 1537)
Montezuma III [5] (March 1537 - October 1565)
Xochiquentzin [6] (October 1565 - January 1569)
Ilhuicaxochitzin [7] (January 1569 - November 1588)

[1] Atlixcatzin, due to his marriage to Montezuma's daughter Tecuichpotzin, was his de facto heir and when the paranoid king succumbed to a heart attack, it was certain amongst the nobles that he would take charge upon the late king's passing and he had little opposition to his ascendance to the throne, especially with the arrival of pale-skinned strangers from across the sea. Taking the advice of his head advisor Tlacotzin and the military council, he decided to lead an vast army to Totonacapan to confront the foreigners. After a few days spent marching, the army of Atlixcatzin arrived at the foreign encampment to challenge them. The commander, known by the locals as Malintzin, attempted to negotiate but the newly crowned Mexica ruler, having much to prove, would have none of it and attacked them.

It was a costly battle but the Mexica had proved victorious. At the end, only a hundred of the foreigners survived and most were sacrificed. A priest by the name of Geronimo de Aguilar was spared by Atlixcatzin and cut off from contact from Spain, the Catholic priest would swear his loyalties to the Mexica ruler of Tenochtitlan.

Under his reign, the Mexica Triple Alliance fought multiple wars against various enemies from the Tarascans to the Tlaxcallans, as well as the occasional landing of Spanish forces by your average land-hungry conquistador. The lands that were under the hegemony of Tenochtitlan reached over 100,000 square miles by the sixth year of his reign. The government was further centralized under his watch, with more local puppet rulers replaced with compliant governors that answered directly to him.

He passed away due to injuries sustained suppressing a rebellion in the south amongst the Zapotecs and Mixtecs.

Although he died leaving the Alliance stronger than it had been for almost a generation and its size unmatched by any kingdom in the Americas, it was towards the final two years of his reign that illnesses from Europe arrived in the shores of Mexico, ravaging through the Mexica lands.

[2] The second-in-command of Atlixcatzin and one of Montezuma's closest allies, Tlacotzin ascended to the throne upon Atlixcatzin's passing with approval from the nobility. He was the only one seen as the rightful one to succeed Atlixcatzin, especially with the passing of his rival Cuitlahuatzin to disease. As a means to maintain continuity, ritually married himself to Tecuichpotzin. His reign was a short one and it was spent putting down rebellions by petty kings who sought the opportunity for independence with diseases ravaging much of the Alliance's garrisons. A capable military commander, he proved to be capable enough to crush the majority of the rebellions though Metztitlan and Yoptzinco, once states that Atlixcatzin had forced to pay tribute to Tenochtitlan, were successful in declaring independence once again after a brief period of Mexica domination. Tlacotzin died of an unknown illness.

[3] Like Tlacotzin, he was ritually married to Tecuichpotzin. His reign was relatively unremarkable though upon Itzquauhtzin succumbing to smallpox, he issued a declaration, incorporating Tlatelolco into Tenochtitlan. The local monarchy was abolished and its citizens were now subjects of Tenochtitlan. His reign was short-lived and after a reign of no more than a month, Cuauhtemotzin had passed away due to smallpox.

[4] The thirteenth ruler of Tenochtitlan, Matlatzincatzin ascended to the throne upon the death of his nephew to disease. Under his reign, the Mexica Triple Alliance continued its evolution to that of a centralized state. Disease had left the Alliance's junior partners Texcoco and Tlacopan extremely weak and so Matlatzincatzin, wanting to make sure the cities maintain their ties to Tenochtitlan, abolished the monarchies and appointed governors to administrate the affairs of these cities in his name. In 1531, a 100-man Spanish expedition captained by Francisco de Garay, former governor of Santiago reached the estuary of the Tochpan River and made contact with subjects of the Mexica ruler. After getting a promise from the governor that he would receive an audience with the Mexica king, he sailed back to Cuba, carrying several emissaries and word of riches. The emissaries were baptized and treated as guests of the governor before returning to the king a year later.

Along with the emissaries came Spanish priests, masons, carpenters and soldiers plus European goods. The ships anchored at Tochpan, and after converting the governor of Tochpan, the nephew of Matlatzincatzin, the procession went on to Tenochtitlan where they were greeted by the Mexica ruler and his generals. Garay obtained permission to establish a small trading post in the island of Chalchihuecan.

Matlatzincatzin refused attempts by the missionaries to convert him and his family, save for his nephew who was promptly removed from his position as governor of Tochpan. He did allow for several hundred Totonacs to assist the Spanish carpenters in the construction of a small church in Chalchihuecan,
meanwhile the Spanish troops accompanying Matlatzincatzin in a three campaign to conquer the coastal cities of the enemy Tarascans, under the rule of Zuangua II. The European firearms were decisive in the victory and many thousands of slaves were taken, many of whom were given to the Spaniards to be sold in the slave markets of Havana while the rest were sacrificed, much to the distaste of the Spanish who witnessed such atrocities.

By 1536, the Spanish had departed with their slaves and gold while leaving behind a permanent presence of priests, merchants and craftsmen.

Matlatzincatzin, unlike the three who preceded him, died of old age.

[5] When Matlatzincatzin passed away, potential rivals lined up to take over the kingdom. Atlixcatzin's eldest son, Montezuma had multiple half-siblings who desired the same throne as he though with the assistance of his mother Queen Tecuichpotzin who kept the death of Matlatzincatzin a secret, he arranged for himself to be snuck back to the capital of Tenochtitlan and gather follows. So by the time the death of Matlatzincatzin was announced, Montezuma was already in the city with a vast army of followers.

The strongest opposition to Montezuma's claim came from his half brother Motelchiuhtzin. Motelchiuhtzin raised an army from the tributary states and provinces and made plans to march on Tenochtitlan. According to Montezuma's testimony, Motelchiuhtzin converted into Roman Catholicism and sought the recognition of the Spanish as the legitimate ruler of Tenochtitlan in an attempt to obtain European arms. In the battle that followed as Motelchiuhtzin's troops stormed the city, Montezuma, riding on a Spanish-imported horse, cut Motelchiuhtzin's head clean off and forced the enemy army to retreat.

Virtually all that is known about Montezuma's reign is known from a long series of letters, written by the Spanish governor of Santiago Pedro de Mazuelo to the Spanish resident at Chalchihuecan. The letters are often very long and give many details about the administration of the country. Many of the letters complain about the abrasive behavior of Montezuma's inquisitors, who sought out to uproot practicing Christians in the country after taking the throne. These letters have given rise to an interpretation of Montezuma's reign as one which hostilities slowly begun to emerge again between the Spanish and Mexica.

Montezuma is characterized by Mexican historians as a selective modernizer because he welcomed European military innovation and literature but refused to replace Nahuatl with the Spanish language or adopt the culture or sell land to the growing number of mixed race mestizo prospectors who lived along the cities near the Spanish outpost of Chalchihuecan.

Like his step-father, he died of old age in Tenochtitlan.

[6] Xochiquentzin was the son of Montezuma III and became his immediate successor. He ruled for a brief period before being killed and ousted in a coup led by his younger brother Ilhuicaxochitzin.

[7] Ilhuicaxochitzin's early years were spent crushing rebellions led by nobles who sought to overthrow him and enthrone his nephew, Xochiquentzin II, exiled in Spanish Cuba. He assuaged the Spanish governor to have his exiled nephew murdered in exchange for a reversal in the anti-Roman Catholicism edicts passed by his father Montezuma III and an expansion of the Spanish outpost in Chalchihuecan. Christianity, introduced to the Mexica by Geronimo de Aguilar two generations ago, was becoming the dominant faith amongst the Totonacs who lived in the coastal territories and tributary states of the Triple Alliance. A church was soon built in Tenochtitlan, beginning the humble roots of the Roman Catholic community in the city.

Ilhuicaxochitzin died of unknown causes while marching north with his army to conquer the Chichimec tribes. The Empire is divided into several states, led by a mix of his many sons and senior generals. The Spanish, in a period of one hundred years, conquer Mexico.

Here is what I had planned at one point for my timeline A Happier Wedding, A Greater France. It's on hiatus from the moment and I'm not sure wether or not I will be able to start writing again. And if I do, I'm pretty sure I'm going to start it over because I've done a few more researches on the period and I'm no longer satisfied with how I wrote the timeline.

Kings of France

House of Bourbon

1589-1610: Henri IV the Good
1610-1643: Louis XIII the Just
1643-1696: Louis XIV the Great [1]
1696-1715: Louis XV the Fighter [2]
1715-1740: Charles X the Learned [3]
1740-1772: Louis XVI [4]
1772-1800: Louis XVII
1800-1820: Louis XVIII
1820-1857: Philippe VII
1857-1894: Louis XIX
1894-1903: Louis XX
1903-1932: Charles XI
1932-1964: John III
1964-1996: Philippe VIII
1996-present day: Henri V

[1] My POD had Anne of Austria having all her pregnancies being successfull. As a consequences of this, TTL Louis XIV was born in 1619.
[2] His French nickname would be that of Batailleur which I'm unsure of the correct translation in English. He earned his nickname for his participation into the European War (basically the successions to John III Sobieski, King of Poland-Lithuania, goes wrong and provokes an earlier War of Polish Succession that is coupled a few years later to an ATL War of Spanish Succession).
[3] Third son of Louis XV: he inherited the throne thanks to an outbreak of smallpox that killed his elder brothers as well as their sons. Nicknamed earned for his vast interests in sciences, litterature and philosophy.
[4] Inherited Lorraine in 1745 from his mother, Duchess Christine, wife of Charles X. Christine of Lorraine had inherited the Duchy following the childless death of her brother, Charles VI of Lorraine, in 1720.

Kings of England and Scotland, later Kings of Great Britain
House of Stuart
1603-1625: James I & VI (King of Scotland since 1567)
1625-1649: Charles I
1649-1660: Commonwealth of England
1660-1685: Charles II
1685-1688: James II & VII
1688-1694: Mary II [1]
House of Wittelsbach
1688-1710: Charles III [1]
1710-1742: Frederick I
1742-1765: Charles IV
1765-1792: Frederick II [2]
1792-1810: Henry IX & I
1810-1825: Edward VII & I
1825-1891: Elizabeth II & I the Great [3]
House of Alençon
1826-1882: Philip II & I [3, 4]
1891-1912: Richard IV & I
1912-1929: William III & II
1929-1953: Charles V
1953-1978: Henry X & II
1978-2009: Philip III & II
2009-present: William IV & III

[1]Mary II ruled jointly with her husband, Charles III. He ruled alone after her death and they were succeeded by their only son, Frederick I.
[2] Born Arthur Frederick. He chose the regnal name Frederick not to be compared with the Legendary King.
[3] Elizabeth came on the throne at the age of 21, which explains the length of her reign. Ever since the age of 16, she had been in love with Philippe, eldest son to the Duke of Alençon, at the time Ambassador of France in England, and her cousin (the House of Alençon, cadet branch of the House of Bourbon, had Stuart blood running through its veins). She battled with her father and Parliament to obtain her marriage, which only succeeded because Philip renounced his French titles and converted to Anglicanism. She also had to battle for Philip to obtain the title of King-consort, arguing he had rights to the throne and that she could not be a Queen and a wife if her husband wasn't a King.
Save for this early crisis, the rest of the reign of Elizabeth and Philip was peaceful. Heavily criticized at the beginning when he became King-consort, King Philip eventually earned the love of his people and the respect of Parliament by keeping a secondary-role to his wife: he most notably engaged in numerous charities. His only major political engagements were linked to the voting of the Catholic Act as well as Anglo-Irish and Anglo-French policies. Queen Elizabeth, for her part, is regarded as the greatest monarch of Britain in the last centuries.
[4] Philip II of Spain was King-consort of Mary I of England: as such, he is counted as King Philip I of England.

Kings of Ireland [1]
House of Stuart
1685-1703: James II [2]
1703-1766: James III
1766-1784: Charles III
1784-1802: James IV
1802-1836: Mary II [3]

1848-1871: Lewis
1871-1901: James VI
1901-1916: Brian I
1916-1965: Patrick
1965-2006: Brian II
2006-present: Brian III

[1]ITTL, we have an ATL Glorious Revolution. James II still loses Britain but he manages to keep Ireland here. The regnal numbering of Ireland follows that of England, as Parliament created the title King of Ireland in 1541 for Henry VIII (who is considered Henry I of Ireland).
[2] Given what is said in [1], James II's reign in Ireland is considered to have started when he was still King of England and Scotland.
[3] Mary II ruled jointly with her husband, King Charles IV.

Kings of Spain
House of Hapsburg
1598-1621: Felipe III
1621-1665: Felipe IV

1788-1803: Carlos III
1803-1821: Felipe V
1821-1854: Luis III
1854-1888: Juan III [3]
1888-1910: Luis IV
1910-1937: Enrique VI
1937-1972: Carlos IV
1972-2008: Juan IV
2008-present: Luis V

[1] Carlos II's nephew, son of his sister Maria Thersea and Henri of France, Duke of Berry and younger brother to Louis XIV.
[2] Spain follows Castillian numbering. Before Spanish unification, there were four Enrique who ruled over Castille, the last one being the half-brother of Isabella I.
[3] The same way there were four Enrique to rule Castille, there were also two Juan, the last one being Isabella I's father.

Kings of Naples, Sicily and Sardinia [1]

1728-1766: Louis I
1766-1793: Henry II

Kings of Italy
1880-1889: Bd. Emmanuel I the Unifier [2]
1899-1919: Louis I [3]
1919-1935: Emmanuel II
1935-1958: Henry
1958-1993: Emmanuel III
1993-present: Louis II

[1] Upon the death of Charles II of Spain, the next-in-line for the Spanish throne were the children of Charles II's sister, Maria Theresa, and her husband, Duke Henri of Berry. Among them were two sons: the eldest, Louis, became King of Spain. The youngest, Henri, was given the South Italian possessions of Spain as part of the peace negotiations that ended the European War.
[2] Second son of Enrico III, he was originally going for a career in the Church and pronounced his vows. He came on the throne thanks to the accidental death of his childless elder brother but he never renounced his vows. During his reign, he became the leading figure for Italian Unification and managed to rally the Pope to his cause. After years of negotiations with the various Italian princes, he was crowned in Rome as King of Italy by the Pope in 1880. After his death, he was declared Blessed by the Church for his religious engagements and his charity policies and actions.
[3] Nephew of King Emmanuel I.

Louis XV, dit "le Battaileur", is a son of Louis XIV or the OTL Louis XIV?
 
adrianodatreviso said:
Louis XV, dit "le Battaileur", is a son of Louis XIV or the OTL Louis XIV?
Louis XV "le Batailleur" is the son of TTL Louis XIV, not OTL Sun King.
 
I've done lists of monarchs under alternate succession rules in the "presidents and PMs" thread before, but this is a more appropriate place to post them. So here's England under male-favored agnatic seniority: the next monarch is the oldest living son of a previous monarch, and if no such sons exist the throne passes to the oldest living daughter of a previous monarch.

1066-1087 William I (Normandy)
1087-1134 Robert (Normandy)
1134-1135 Henry I (Normandy)
1135-1137 Adela (Normandy)
1137-1150 William II (Blois)
1150-1152 Theobald I (Blois)
1152-1154 Stephen (Blois)
1154-1171 Henry II (Blois)
1171-1189 Henry III (Blois)
1189-1191 Theobald II (Blois)
1191-1202 William III (Blois)
1202-1205 Lewis (Blois)
1205-1218 Theobald III (Blois)
1218-1230 Margaret (Blois)
1230-1231 Beatrice I (Hohenstaufen)
1231-1248 Otto I (Andechs)
1248-1263 Agnes (Andechs)
1263-1271 Beatrice II (Andechs)
1271-1283 Herman I (Ascania)
1283-1293 Albert (Ascania)
1293-1308 Otto II (Ascania)
1308-1312 Herman II (Ascania)
1312-1354 Henry IV (Ascania)

Some of the later monarchs are uncertain, since this succession gets into some pretty obscure German nobles and hardly any who weren't rulers IOTL (e.g. churchmen, abbesses) have birth and death dates on Wikipedia. In particular, the end of my list is at a point when I have no idea what aunts are still alive and whether they have heirs.
