ok! I will post each map made in an individual post.

A quick question that I think has some interesting potential ramifications. For those who don't know, the Dominion of Soissons was a rump Roman state founded by the Roman general Aegidius after the assassination of Emperor Majorian. For 25 years, he and his son Syagrius ruled over the...

So, yeah. Is it possible for the Franks/the Frankish Kingdom to remain speaking a Germanic language or are the odds too highly stacked in favour of them becoming Romance speakers?

Hey AH.com! This is my first attempt at a timeline, so I'm looking for feedback on pretty much everything. Part 1: The Hammer Falls On October 10, 732 a band of Arab and Berber raiders lead by Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi clashed with Frankish and Aquitanian troops in western Gaul. The veteran...

To be more direct, i mean Francia after 800, when Karolus Magnus was crowned as the roman emperor of the west and the name of the kingdom changed to "Romanum imperium", in your opinion, did Karolus Magnus really became the sucessor of the old WRE or not, and why?

Assuming that the Lazica under Persian protection isn't as oppressive as normally IRL, and Persians doesn't react when Justinian had been advancing very far against Ostrogoths, how far Justinian's campaigns would go? MY PERSONAL OPINION... Gothic War would end very early in Ostrogoths' front...

With a POD between 375 and 500, what are some worst-case scenarios for the Roman Empire in the 5th and 6th centuries? That is, how could it have fallen most spectacularly and into as many pieces as possible, as early as possible? What are some best-case scenarios for the Goths, Vandals, Franks...

Surely Pope Leo III was mad when, after having King Charles personally schlepp all the way down from Paris to Rome, crowned himself Holy Roman Emperor on Christmas 800AD; unifying the Potificate and the Imperial crown and becoming Augustus Pontificatus in the process. I know historians note...

Celts were in France before the Germanic Franks invaded. So my question is, how could Celts have remained in France, kept Celtic culture and survived to present day instead of the Germanic France we have in our modern world? Also, a side question, what would this France be called? After all the...

Before I begin, I feel I must explain a few things about myself and where this is all coming from. In order to do so, I have to travel back a good 11 or 12 years (please, bare with me!). It was roughly around that time that I, a High School student with a deep interest in history, and some...
