Right! So you like the idea?

How about a Basque or Norwegian one?

So you're thinking he'd cede half of Northumbria and everything north maybe?

This is the whole timeline so far up until the period shown on the map. 1423 Louis de Valois, who would be Louis XI, the Spider King, was born. 1424 Margaret Stewart is born in Dec. 1436 is given in marriage to the 13 year old Louis, Duc d’Anjou, and 9th Dauphin on 24 June. Instead of...

Here is another map. Again be warned that I suck at maps and I thank the Alt Hist Wiki for the map that I started with.

Why is the war breaking out? I'm sure that after the Civil War nobody wants to go fight overseas without a very good reason so you'd to provide one.

Unfortunately the Azores were already inhabited by the time I'm writing about. So the expedition to find the "western route to Asia" could hardly discover them. Of course this makes me wonder whether or not I could have Columbus sail for Portugal not Spain. Any comments? Oh and here is the...

I think this was a most excellent update!

I'd read it. It sounds interesting. I agree that it is unlikely to change much in the long run but it does sound interesting and perhaps the Bank of America might last longer?

Thanks for the info. Yes I did mean the final war against Granada. I guess Spain will still be the same in my TL. Hmmmmmmmm. I was thinking Columbus would sail under the banner of Florence and find the Azores first. Leading to the Medici and others having trading posts there. They then try...

Thanks to all for your help and comments 1466 - Louis (son of Louis XI) marries Maria de Medici War starts between Saxony, France, King Christian's United Scandinavia, and Britain on one side and the Holy Roman Empire, Burgundy, and the remaining Yorkists in exile on the other. 1475 - War...

Well it sounds interesting to me! :) Although mostly because I can see fitting in with my own TL. It would lead to a smaller "Spain" and one with less presence in the new world. Maybe the Basques would even retain their own country. :D

*Hiss and crackle* "Hello again, my lovelies. This is agent LaCroix reporting. Agent Edwards managed to shout himself hoarse getting the locals in this hotel to make what he considers proper tea so I'll be making this report." *sounds of paper shuffling* "Bernard II, Duke of Saxony, had no...

While I haven't found a creditable birth year for Robert I just realized that both would still be executed since they still tried to kill James I they just did not succeed. Hence neither would be around to claim his throne and Margaret should ascend to the throne with her French prince as...

Thank you for correcting that. Any further comments anyone? I was thinking that the Scandinavians would get from the North Pole to 60 degrees North The British would get from 60 degrees N to 30 N The French would get from 30 N to the Equator The Spanish would get from the Equator to 30 S The...

If several European countries were also dividing up the Western Hemisphere wouldn't they rather use Latitude? I mean measuring Longitude was quite difficult and not done until much more recently than the New World was found. I haven't posted much to my TL here because I'm still straightening...

I'd be interested in this TL. Be warned that I may snitch a bit to include into my own. :) But it will be a homage not a plagiarism. I won't take much. You should also consider greater French presence in the new world.

Thank you for commenting Lord Douglas. I will definitely have to take that into account. Since James I does live a fair bit longer in this TL (until 1454) it will be Robert, I am sure I can come up with a butterfly short of Mothra size that can deal with him. Perhaps while Margaret was on the...

Good TL so far. I'm enjoying it.

Thank you Great Scott Marty! I have given some thought to Edwards and LaCroix and you are right that the English and the French did better in their TL than this one. It was not sufficiently clear but the Louis that marries the Medici is the son and heir of Louis XI who in this TL is also named...
