Worth mentioning that arbitrary practices make really really good cultural markers so they're bound to persist once they arise.

Probably the former, the two bs in Bob are pronounced differently enough that Bhob would be an accurate representation in another language. The issue is that they're considered pronunciation of the same letter and different spelling isn't needed to differentiate Bob from Bhob. Ditto with Min and...

I'm not seeing "mhin" in the lyrics at all though.

Amusingly I think it was a typo, I'm not aware of any past germanic spelling like it!

One thing I will strongly suggest for this TL concerns language. Essentially it's best not to mix languages from different time periods. E.g. Modern Welsh alongside Old English is a no-no etc. Where your articles use names, be internally consistent in the versions you use and limit to one or two...

After some searching of the Flag Thread and Challenge Thread I have decided on: Best Alternate History Flag, Province of Quebec, Marc Pasquin There were some really good contenders but a fair few were reworked from before 2020 or reworked submissions of others and thus didn't fit the restrictions.

Hmm, managed to look at the timeline and it does appear Anne Neville won't show until after Tewkesbury. Thus making isabella's ninja post:

Forgot to add my response! A good ending. Though I think historians would consider it the Playwright Era rather one of Marlowe vs one of Shakespeare. That is an age that remembers them among others even if there's argument which of the two is best.

Wouldn't Anne's pregnancy have to be before Tewkesbury? What's the timeline here?, my memory escapes me!
