Louis invites the Medici to open a branch of their bank in Paris. The Medici put in charge of it brings his family and one of his daughters catches the eye of the king's son Louis (or Lewis to some of his subjects). This causes some scandal but Louis XI thinks it might ensure a good flow of...

1465 - With help from France, Scotland, and a United Scandinavia under Christian I the Lancastrians bring and early end to the wars of the roses. Henry VI dies shortly after being restored to his throne but his wife, his son and his daughter in law are more than capable of taking care of the...

The HRE will be one of those on the other side and quite enough really, but who else if anyone would join in on their side? We've established that neither Spain nor Switzerland will do so. I doubt the Portuguese will. What about the Italian states?

Okay so I'll say he's technically Duke but won't stay Duke with a fight. I'll also say the law in my TL is as Susano says it is. :) This means War. I'm hoping the British will see fit to help the Queen's brother with his very legitimate claim. His Father, King of France, will also support...

Okay Alsace won't do anything different from Lorraine or the rest of Burgundy. You've convinced me. Also thanks to Aurora Borealis for commenting.

So he would have a claim but if he tried to hold Saxony it would start a war?

I know in the OTL Burgundian Wars of the 1470's Mary only inherited the Franche Comte and the Burgundian Netherlands. I was just thinking that with a bit more force on his side Louis could get more territory. From Wikipedia: "With the death of Charles the Bold, the dynasty of the dukes of...

1461 He gets word that Charles VII is dying and that his brother will get to Paris first. He arranges for riots and public condemnation to delay the coronation. Meanwhile he gathers an army of Scots and mercenaries and sets sail leaving his son to watch out for his mother’s interests in...

This is the starting POD. It has Margaret Stewart being a quite different sort of person 1436 Margaret Stewart is given in marriage to the 13 year old Louis, Duc d’Anjou, and 9th Dauphin on 24 June. Instead of casual clothes he wears his finest and takes the time to talk to her making a good...

Thank you both! I stand corrected on the Spanish Tocomocho. I don't know why I didn't remember they are still fighting. If the Spanish are out of it that's all to the good for Louis but if the HRE would not have allowed his son to succeed to the Duchy of Saxony then we might get war sooner. Or...

I'm trying to get my TL as true as I can and I would welcome help from the good and knowledgable readers of AH.com In my TL I have Charles the Bold getting involved in the 'Wars of the Roses' or 'English Civil War' on the Yorkist side and dying on the field of battle in 1464. I figured this...

I have Venetians setting up trade posts in the Carribbean in my TL. I also have a united Scandinavia colonizing Northern Canada. Of course I have a war starting in Europe about the time Columbus comes back so some of the main colonizing powers in OTL are distracted.

:D I like this idea!

I think you should leave him the territory just have him make sure to make clear that it is a different Roman Republic.

Well you're welcome to create a Muscovy state or a Belarus but I think we can do without Russia as a whole.

Back to agents Edwards and LaCroix now. I realize they are painted in a fairly broad brush but I mean them as archetypes so I hope no one is offended. "Yes, not only did James the second die in adolescence in this universe but Margaret lived a full life and bore Louis four children including...

Here is the map. I think I did it right this time... :D

I'd like a second turn after Norton if no one has claimed southern France by then for Occitania. :)
