I'm not sure. From what I read, it was used pretty interchangeably with your Highness by this point in time.

Prologue Footnotes And here are the footnotes for the second prologue. [1] Or Deputy Chancellor if Wikipedia is correct. The source I’ve chosen to go with is Norman Davies God’s Playground. Of course, it is probably just a choice in translation. [2] This is of course King Casimir III...

Prologue: A Birth and a Funeral **Kingdom of Poland, Cracow **Early November, 1370 Janko of Czarnków, Vice-Chancellor [1] to the late King Casimir [2], could barely hold back his tears as he took part in the procession through the streets of Cracow towards Wawel Cathedral. It was, by all...

Also, since I forgot to mention in the post above, there is another thread related to this one. https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=306757 It's the planification thread for this timeline. EDIT: Some of you might have noticed there was something longer here. I've...

Węgier, Polak, dwa bratanki, Tak do szabli jak do szklanki. Magyar és lengyel jó barát, Karddal s pohár közt egyárant. The Pole and Magyar like brothers stand Whether with sword or with tankard in hand. -Polish and Hungarian Proverb[1] It is often rare to find in European history, at least...

Turin was an enclave;)

Also, Lithuania was under some rather talented leaders during this period. Both Jogaila and Vitaustas were no slouches when it came to ruling their country.

No we can't. What forces are there to unite Germany. There are still hundreds of petty and not so petty princes who want to be top dog. Prussia is still basically a non-entity at this point, and its in France's interest to keep Germany disunited. You are very likely to see French gains...

It's coming a bit slower than I would have liked. I've finished the Lithuania portion of the update, dealing with what was going on there and Jogaila sending his sister to marry Charles/Karol. I'm currently typing up the section dealing with Louis' reign in Poland, and the turbulence...

While I can't answer your question in full, it should be pointed out that Hinduism was resistant to Christianity and Islam because it had already resisted an initially successful proselytizing religion: Buddhism. As far as I know, Buddhism initially had some great success in India before...

Anyway, its been three days since I last posted here. So I'm just going to give an update on how things are going on my end. I've finished the prologue/preface to the timeline (it sits at around 4000 words) but it has little to do with the timeline in terms of actually being the timeline...

Thanks!:) I don't have any questions I can think of at the moment, but I definitely will have some questions about Croatian history at some point. Oh, I think it does;) It would be interesting. But again, no promises. We'll see how the timeline takes us.

Well no worries, you'll certainly get a couple centuries worth of timeline. That's my plan. And ah yes, the Russians. I forgot about Muscovy when talking about states taking their first steps toward greatness during this period. It'd be shame if something happened to them...

Oh hahaha. That makes so much more sense. Well we'll see how far it goes, but if the interest is there from people, then I could see it keep going to the modern day. I can make no promises, but I'll take your vote into account.

What do you mean? Start a thread for the timeline today? I don't have anything to update. I've only put like 5 sentences to paper for the first update.

I sure think so:D It was a liminal stage in European history. Constantinople was falling, the Europeans were about to go exploring overseas, the renaissance and the reformation were about to hit or looming on the horizon, and a number of states took their first steps to greatness (Spain vs...

That is actually part of my plan. For my timeline, I do plan to offer up comparisons to OTL. This is really just a result of the research I have to do for the timeline, but its nice to share. I mean, one of the main ideas behind this timeline for me is giving Poland and Hungary a different...

Your right about the occasional frustrating lack of resources. Here is the bibliography for the essay I posted earlier by the way. Davies, Norman. God’s Playground: A History of Poland, Vol.1. New York: Columbia University Press, 2005. DeVries, Kelly. “The Lack of a Western European...

Haha, the Teutonic Knights just might get invited along. While the Grand Master might be wary, that wouldn't hold true to some of his Knights. There probably will be a contingent there, and they could easily form part of the problem with the other western knights (especially since many of...

I'm looking at putting the first update sometime this week, if all goes well. Optimistically it should hopefully start Wednesday, but Friday could very well happen as well if I get delayed. I do want to get his puppy going! I'm currently brushing up on what Louis was up to in the years...
