    ♫ Whooooa, we're halfway there... ♪ (Silesian duchies are extremely provisional.)

  2. DBWI: explain the map

    Surviving Huns? Nice.

  3. Impact of a black Morocco in European racial discourse?

    Not to be a communist, but chattel slavery of Africans didn't happen because Europeans throught the Africans were inferior. It happened because it was economically convenient, and the racial inferiority tale was spun up afterwards to retroactively justify it. It'll make no difference if there's...

  4. Margareta domina: A Margaret of Austria TL

    Goodbye, independent Navarre. You had a good run.

  5. WI : Inuits and other North American Natives had skis?

    I think northern Fennoscandia has more lumber than the Alaskan/Canadian Arctic. Making a ski requires a plank, and making a plank requires a tallish, straight, ungnarled tree. The little lumber Inuits had access to was spent on toboggans (hauling stuff is a higher priority than personal...

  6. Margareta domina: A Margaret of Austria TL

    You know what would be really funny? If Anne of Brittany predeceased Charles VIII, and Charles remarried and immediately had a son. Brittany will enter a personal union with Milan, Louis d'Orléans will never be King of France, Charles will never have Brittany, literally nobody is happy.

  7. What Would Norse Horror Media Look Like?

    Wouldn't a pagan Norse's first kneejerk reaction be to fight the boogieman du jour? If they live, they live. If they die, they died in battle and automatically go to the Good Afterlife™ . To them, there's no downside to telling the monster "Put your dukes up, you ugly sonuvabitch!"

  8. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    Andrew III of Hungary lives slightly longer (and Wenceslauses II and III live a LOT longer), and the betrothal of Wenceslaus III of Bohemia and Elizabeth of Töss is actually followed through. Wenceslaus III of Bohemia/II of Poland/I of Hungary (b.1289; d.1340) m. Elizabeth of Hungary (b.1289...

  9. What Would Norse Horror Media Look Like?

    With their emphasis on martial culture and a glorious warrior's death, an inglorious death might be horrifying to them. Something like being trapped, slowly wasting away, your vitality gradually draining away from you... Or the threat of a sudden, mundane death. You don't get to die in heated...

  10. Henry Tudor, Heretic and Father of Kings

    Why did the kingdoms of Bohemia, Naples, Sicily and Sardinia get downgraded to principalities and duchies?

  11. Henry Tudor, Heretic and Father of Kings

    Which one is it? :p

  12. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    What's the ratio of Romance speakers to Basque speakers in Navarre? Is Basque doing better or worse compared to OTL?

  13. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    I'm still waiting for Andalusia or Navarre or Francia or Provencia or SOMEBODY to eat the Spanish March and put it out of its petty fiefdom misery.

  14. The Marriage of the Century - A Burgundian Timeline

    Does "County of Burgundy" mean the Duchy of Burgundy, a fief of the Kingdom of France, or the Free County of Burgundy AKA Franche-Comté, a fief of the Holy Roman Empire? Does Philip retain the Duchy or the County or neither?

  15. Una diferente ‘Plus Ultra’ - the Avís-Trastámara Kings of All Spain and the Indies (Updated 12/27)

    The Kingdom of Naples officially called itself Kingdom of Sicily. In fact, it had a better claim to being the legitimate Kingdom of Sicily, since the insular Kingdom of Sicily got started when a bunch of rebels decided "Man, these Anjou characters are assholes. Hey Aragon, wanna rule us?" When...

  16. Una diferente ‘Plus Ultra’ - the Avís-Trastámara Kings of All Spain and the Indies (Updated 12/27)

    As mere viceroys and non-sovereign dukes, the Italian Avís-Trastámaras are free to marry whatever Italian minor nobles or rich landowners they can find, and they can stay out of the European royal clusterfuck of One Queen Had Multiple Daughters And Now Everybody Are Cousins. So by marrying with...

  17. Una diferente ‘Plus Ultra’ - the Avís-Trastámara Kings of All Spain and the Indies (Updated 12/27)

    Well, the Spanish recognize female monarchs, so I guess at some point down the line there could be a situation where a daughter is the heir to the throne, and the dynasty name changes into her husband's name. But for the time being, the Avís-Trastámaras have a convenient cadet line in Italy...

  19. WI: Manhattan was developed without Central Park?

    Central Park was conceived as an excuse to bulldoze black neighbourhoods like Seneca Village.
