  3. How would an Ottoman succession crisis play out?

    I believe that was Osman II. I’ll have to check what resources I have access to on the subject.

  4. How would an Ottoman succession crisis play out?

    Not sure where you got the snippet about Murad IV wanting to rule the Baltic. The Sultanate of Women, according to a source I read, started around 1533 and ended in 1656.

    IIRC, when drafting up the first part of my TL (which is going to be delayed even more due to work and not being anywhere near home for a while), I had come up with some candidates for wives for Gustaf. I am sure that Brahe didn’t make my list but I’ll have to figure out who the others were. If...
