Just finished reading up on this. Got to say, this is probably my favourite tl currently. Looking forward to the crisis unfolding and whether The Trapezuntine Empire will prosper or perish. Even though both outcomes will be enjoyable to read!

Well, you just massively changed the political landscape of Norway, but with Olav (and Magnus) still alive, the ramifications won't be that large. But it will interesting to see how the duo of Olav and Eystein (or Øystein) functions as Kings, and if the former will die, seeing how this post...

Please, do continue. I'm always interested in a Norway tl. (Subscribed) Good that you focus on one of the more unknown, but plausible Norway pov At this time in history, one can argue that Norway is at its height of power pre-civil war period, and have a larger chance at survival and increasing...

This took far longer than I had expected to write, but here is the last part of the prolog. Comment would be welcome together with critique. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chapter 3 18th of...

Here is another part of the prolog, I intend to either split this up into three or four chapters. The others are coming soon. _______________________________________________________________________________ Chapter 2 18th of August 1103 Somewhere in Ulster He shot up from his bed as he heard a...

You are quite correct there. And yeah he was a badass in the ten years that he reigned, going right, left, down and up. Now think what he could have done had he ruled for another 20 years? Hahah, yeah, the Norse loved to name others which lived in their time, or before them. I mentioned for...

After getting seriously bored to death by my Norwegian language Curriculum this year, my mind quickly wandring over to thinking about alternate history and different timelines. One thing led to another, and an idea formed in my head, one which I could not dispense off, and thus my second attempt...

Just an idea that you can work on, the end of the 18th century was known in Norway as the "Golden years". The time before the British Blockade in 1808 saw the increase of shipping and commerce done by Norwegians. Norway has vast natural resources which can be used and is has a terrain well...

Prussia after the war with Austria in 1866 would most likely win any engagement against the badly supplied and organized French Army. It might not be a "Lets invade France, take Paris, crown our emperor in Versailles" Esque kind of war finished in one year, but the Prussian army at this point...

Well, we would have a Crusade which would be like any of the others which passed through Byzantium. Ravaging of the countryside etc. but hopefully if all goes well they will travel to Egypt as soon as possible, though since the Empire is so weak at this point in time we might also see the...

The thing is that the "usage" of reindeer differed over time periods, as before the 16-17th century the Sami would follow the Reindeer flocks where ever they went, using enticed reindeer to hunt wild reindeers. It was only towards the 16-17th century, when Norway, Sweden and Russia began...

The Battle of Adevacus The battle of Adevacus took place on the 30th of May 477 20 km north of the city Adevacus which had just recently falled into the hands of Budic II. On one side were the Frankish-Roman army of 4000 men, led by Clovis and Sygarius and on the other side 5500 Armorican men...

Sorry for not posting anymore of this, last week was quite hectic with two writing exams and one oral (history). Now that I finally have time to write about this I have gotten a writers block on how to approach the situation in Sweden and Denmark and therefore would ask if anyone could give me a...

Sossions response Sygarius's realm was in chaos, but it wasn't as bad as many thought, he had ruled this realm autonomsly from Rome for over 10 years now and he knew how to handle this situation. Even so, due to the state of his state (lol) he could not gather a large enough response force to...

You are right on that matter, the Kingdom of Norway had become hereditary after the "tronefølgeordningen" law of 1260 where the throne was made hereditary where the legitimate came before the bastards and the older before the younger, also there was never a co-rulership of the country after...
