    WI: Mary Tudor becomes Queen earlier? (Or, the planning thread)

    The old menace is haunting me again, and by the old menace, I mean that one line in Wolf Hall where after the disastrous 1536 joust and everyone thinks Henry’s dead from falling off his horse, Cromwell immediately sent for Fitzwilliam to fetch Mary because, in his own words, he “cannot hold the...

    WI: Catherine Parr had a child?

    We know that Kate isn't really barren, as she had a daughter named Mary after she married Tom Seymour. So what if instead of with Tom, she had a child by Henry? If she has a son (Henry? Owen?), that son will inherit should Edward die as scheduled. Would she be regent for her son, as she was...

    "Who would rid me of this troublesome wife?"

    Yes, I know, I still have another timeline but hear me out. What if after Henry VIII finds out that the Legatine Court ruled in favor of Catherine, he utters the fatal words "Who would rid me of this troublesome wife?" and some ambitious knight overhears the King's half-meant words, jumps at the...

    Alternate Names for the Pacific Ocean and Australia?

    Say Magellan ended up going through the Pacific during monsoon season (around November or thereabouts), when the Pacific isn't so pacific, what would he have named the ocean? Would it be an apt adjective, a saint, after himself, or after his patron? And since I'm too lazy to make a new thread...

    Suppose the Great Matter didn't happen and Henry was still Catholic in name, is there a plausible time period or scenario in which Thomas Wolsey can become the Pope?

    WI: Magellan lands somewhere else?

    What it says on the tin. What if instead of landing in the Visayas, Magellan and his crew arrive somewhere else closer to the Spice Islands, like some part of Indonesia or even Australia? What would be Australia's name in this scenario if he does land there?

    PC: Slave trade spreads to Colonial SE Asia

    Tell me if this comes off as offensive, I'll ask a mod to take this down. Is it plausible in the 16th-17th centuries for Spain, Portugal, or any of the colonizers in Asia to bring slavery there or trade Asian slaves? What could have been the possible outcomes or consequences?

    WI: Mary Tudor's French match succeeds?

    What if Mary I was married off to Francis, the Dauphin-Duke of Brittany? Let's say her father gets a male heir from Catherine which makes this marriage push through. What happens next?

    WI: Francis de Valois, Duke of Anjou had lived?

    In 1584, Francis, the heir presumptive of his brother Henry III of France, caught malaria in Antwerp, and he died June of that year after returning to Paris. What would be the effects of him not catching malaria and living long enough to marry and have issue? Would he have a rivalry with...

    WI: Rasputin dies in 1914?

    In June 1914, Rasputin was stabbed by Khionia Guseva in the abdomen but he survived and Guseva was sent to a madhouse. What if Rasputin died instead in this assassination attempt? I can foresee a mental breakdown from Alexandra, but what about the rest of the court?

    WI: Edward VIII had children?

    What it says on the tin. What if Edward and Wallis had children? Would those children even have any right to the throne? How would WWII affect them, considering Ed had Nazi sympathies?

    WI: Louis II had legitimate issue?

    What it says. What if Louis didn't die at the Battle of Mohács and left legitimate issue? Also, which of his domains can be inherited by his children if they are all daughters?

    PC: Eleanor Habsburg as Electress Palatine?

    What it says on the tin. What would it take for Charles to allow his widowed sister, the Dowager Queen Eleanor of Portugal to marry her childhood sweetheart, the future Frederick II, Elector Palatine? The POD's in 1518, btw.

    WI: Henry VIII dies in 1536

    What it says on the tin. What if instead of having that annoying leg ulcer, Henry dies in the jousting accident of January 1536? Considering both his daughters are considered bastards by opposing court factions and that Anne was pregnant at the time, who'd get the Crown?

    WI: America only got Mindanao?

    Alright, it's apparently Philippines night so bear with us. "The negotiators then turned to the question of the Philippines. Spanish negotiators were determined to hang onto all they could, hoping to cede only Mindanao and perhaps the Sulu Islands. On the American side, Chairman Day had once...

    DBWI: Hamilton Fatally Shot by Burr?

    As we all know, Hamilton and Burr had the infamous duel that almost caused America to lose both illustrious men at the same day. Luckily for them, both guns misfired and hit nearby trees. Now, what if one of the guns fired correctly and hit the more important man fatally?

    As we all know, Nicholas Romanov fell in love with his Aunt Ella's sister when they met during Ella's wedding. Unfortunately for them, Alix fell to familial pressure and eventually married Albert Victor I, and the heartbroken Nicholas married Alix's cousin Margaret of Prussia. Their respective...

    ATL Brides for Charles V?

    So according to this library book, one of the reasons the Spanish Cortes grudgingly accepted the "foreign" Charles as king was when he married his cousin, who to the Cortes was sufficiently Iberian and thus more open to local policy. Who could Charles marry that is sufficiently high born but not...
