    A very different 1540: Anne of Cleves takes charge
    Threadmarks: #1 The Marriage is Consummated

    Queen Anne had always been the type of woman to hold herself at a distance. Her mother had taught her that stoicism and silence were the makings of a good wife, and duty was before dignity. Sweetness, softness, and even beauty would not keep your husband half as contented as would the absence of...

    So Long, Sweet Sparrow - Catherine de Medici dies
    Threadmarks: October 13th, 1535

    October 13th, 1535 Catherine It had been one little vial. Smelling of roses and nuts, she’d barely taken a mouthful of this potion that tore through her stomach like a thousand knives strapped to the hooves of wild horses. Laying on her side, her eyes squeezed shut, she heard them all...

    Another Tudor/Hapsburg Timeline I Hope I Keep Track Of

    Basically, the premise is that Mary Tudor has a son in 1555 (as I've seen discussed recently here), and that will have a domino effect in England. I have ideas and a whole family tree up until about the early 1600s, so I hope I can keep this up until then. It isn't very straight forward but I'm...

    A Queen of Hearts

    In front of God and the people, the new Queen of England stood tall and regal, fair hair loose down her back as she carefully stepped down the raised platform to the throne, where she would be anointed with the oil, crowned and handed over to her husband, to be greeted by the Lancastrian court...

    Richard III of England married Elizabeth of York: An Idea and Maybe Later a Timeline

    I’ve always thought Richard III of England marrying his niece Elizabeth of York was icky, but it’s also something I think has potential and since Richard is getting a bit of attention at the moment he’s my take on it all. Now you could quite easily have Richard III marry his niece, but to have...

    The Red Rose Blooms

    The Years Under Edward of Westminster To win is to live, to lose is to die. The arrival of Edward of Westminster, Prince of Wales in 1471, daring to face storms to bring an army to hold England from the York Usurpers, was seemingly protected by God. Despite heavy storms, which separated and...

    And Down Went James

    The death of the King of Scotland and the Duke of Ross in March of 1498 was such a blow to Anglo-Scottish relations that it would take 50 years before they would once again stabilize. Now, that isn’t to say Henry VII of England had his recent allies killed, but that that narrative would be used...

    WI: No Isabeau of Bavaria?

    Basically, what if Isabeau of Bavaria, Queen to Charles VI of France, died around the time of her marriage, causing him to marry elsewhere? With a wife with, say, less generous inclinations manage to not gain such a terrible reputation? Maybe they have a healthy son earlier then Charles VI and...

    William Carey Idea

    William Carey (circa 1529) Mary Carey (circa 1529) The near death of William Carey in 1528 would have tragically ended one of the brightest stars of the Tudor court had to offer. A man known for his late skills as a member of the King’s council, a great peer in his own right and the father...
