An Unsuspected Pregnancy 2.0: A Plantagenet Timeline Siege of Dublin The dawn of 1405 saw the Irish King Tadhg launch his initial raids into the Pale and Dublin. Many of the remaining English lords and settlers who had survived the onslaught and surrenders of the Earldoms of Desmond and...

Thanks for the suggestions! :D I always had trouble buying the whole not knowing thing too, but left it in for dramatic effect ;) but I suppose I'll change it. Thanks for the interest as well! It's always motivating to know your work is being read!

This is a rewrite of one of my first TL's here on Alternatehistory.com, and one I've been looking to do for the last year or so. When I wrote the first version of this, I was fairly green with Alternate History Writing and several widely implausible tangents developed (Scotland invading France...

An Unsuspected Pregnancy 2.0: A Plantagenet Timeline Richard II "the accursed" On January 23rd, 1393 Queen Anne of England, the wife of Richard II and a woman often rumored to be infertile, went into labor. Everyone was surprised with the exception of the Queen, who had only just begun...

Where the Kings were coronated was the one thing I didn't look up, I guess I can't assume anything :rolleyes: Thanks for your guys' support, knowing people are actually reading this makes it so much more fun to write and keeps me motivated. :)

It was no secret that the Church of England remained extremely diverse in the beliefs of both its members as well as its clergy and this was a large threat to both Cranmer and Seymour, as was evidenced by the attempt by the Catholics to try Cranmer as a heretic just years prior. Therefore in...

Working on it, I didn't want to post too much in succession :p

Well, it turns out Richard and his wife Aines were able to sire a son, William, who inherited the throne at 17 as a child prodigy, holding 5 of the seven virtues with his only problem being the weak trait. William II took the throne after his father died and watched from afar as Denmark...

Decided to play as William the Conquerer on the start date right after he becomes King. I quickly imprisoned Morcar of York and his brother, before revoking their titles (and taking a huge opinion hit from most of my vassals because I was a "tyrant"). From there William died and I briefly played...

Sounds cool! :)

I actually feel pretty solid about the plausibility of the last update. IOTL Catherine de Medici was pregnant with twins and nearly died with only one of the two children surviving, it was a girl who lived for about a month.

It soon became apparent that when Charles Valois had marched north towards the Battle of Orleans he had brought more with him than men and weapons, for outbreaks of the sweating sickness were reported to be occurring throughout the northern Catholic area of France along the route by which the...

Sorry I didn't update yesterday, had quite a bit of work to do. Tu next update will indeed be today. :)

Writing the next chapter is getting confusing, with 3 Charles' running around :o

For the foreseeable future, yes as he will unlikely be caught in the same circumstances, and exposed to the same conditions, as OTL.

The much anticipated Council of Mantua officially opened on March 1st, 1545 after much anticipation, preparation, and deliberation. Pope Paul III himself opened the proceedings which many knew could end up going on for many years. Members of the Church from all throughout Europe were present...

Presbyterian? The religious map will look different, as will the positions of some of the denominations, I can assure you of that ;)

Any comments? The lack of response is concerning me :o

Ironically, by killing the leading Protestant in Scotland James increased his problems. While in the past the majority of the reformers had remained loyal to the King, just wishing to see the Church reformed, the Crown’s all-out war against Protestantism forced them to oppose James as well...

Following peace with the Holy Roman Empire, France too would embark on a movement to end Protestantism in the realm. In 1540 anti-Catholic posters had been placed all throughout Paris in what was known as the Affair of the Placards and had caused Francis to issue the Edict of Fontainebleau...
