Glad you’ve enjoyed them. I particularly liked the York thing- London’s response OTL was “York can be capital when the Ouse flows past the Tower” :rolleyes: Of course, the foreigners win they get conveniently forgotten about- William III and Louis VII of France can both bear testament to...

Oh, how interesting- I hadn't come across his views on America. Do you happen to know of any books or articles which go into the subject in more detail? It would be rather helpful in working out the details of what happens the other side of the Atlantic. I know what you mean- and I find...

Well hopefully you’ll find it interesting. I’ve found William II a fascinating character, and very interesting for the purposes of alternative history- the more I read about him, the more I’m convinced the Dutch dodged a bullet through his premature death. Which may of course be butterflied away...

Well, IOTL Anna Trapnel was called by God to travel to Cornwall, so it could be there- certainly the Arthurian motif would suggest the West Country in some description. But that’s not to say that she’s had the same vision ITTL, of course- and she’s keeping her thoughts to herself for the time...

...and a quick campaign map...

Chapter 19 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against...

I thought Terrorist Oats etc would be rather amusing…. They will crop up from time to time, yes- and ITTL, as IOTL, many of them will end up in the New World. Vulparia University, where the quoted pamphlet was printed, goes on to become one of the great educational establishments of the...

I'm sure IBC can comment on this better than me, but Mosley saw himself very much as a British patriot as opposed to an English one, and there was nothing in BUF policy that was 'English' at the expense of Scottish; he was very keen on adminisrtative devolution and gave a number of rallies north...

English Fascism and British Fascism are rather different things, as has been pointed out. If you want English Fascism, you could do worse than read the thing I penned for Jared in "Decades of Darkness", starting here. That has a very Anglo-Saxon based English revivalist movement becoming...

(Taken from “Our Origins” by Henry Christopher, Vulparia University, 1940) “Who are the Children of Light? Whence comes their faith? The story begins across the Atlantic, in the provincial Leicestershire village of Drayton-in-the-Clay, when a young man named George Fox returned to his home...

Thank you! I may well take you up on that when the time comes. I was looking at Jasna Gora as a butterfly actually. But I'm still torn between a strong Poland-Lithuania or a weak one, to be honest. In other news, I just finished something, but can't find a good place to fit it in the main...

In my defence, their defeat in FaBR leads to a more populous, richer, more poltiically stable Republic in the long term... But yes, I agree that there's a general tendency to give the French a bit of a kicking in TLs. I suppose it goes hand in hand with the strong Germany thing.

Sorry, just realised there were a load of posts here I hadn’t replied to… I think I mentioned in a previous post somewhere that Ronald Tolkien is Professor of Literature at the University of Cape Town. He’s not our John Tolkien, as he’s born considerably post PoD, but he’s got a pretty...

I'll be quite honest- while I've worked out the butterflies as far as Denmark, and to a lesser extent Brandenburg, I currently have no fixed idea on how the Second Northern War will pan out. I'd be surprised if the Ukraine doesn't revolt as IOTL however. When I've finally sorted out what...

The majority of the war will be as OTL, or as close as makes no difference; beginning in 1646, however, divergences begin to slip in as the political situation in France and the Netherlands change, so while things are still winding down in Germany, there’s no guarantee that everything pans out...

Indeed. IOTL, Charles I really did consider returning to London unannounced on several occasions- and each time, it might actually have been rather a smart move on his part. Certainly it remained something that petrified Parliament. Unfortunately, his councillors were always on hand to tell him...

This, by the way, is the cross of St Edward as mentioned; below is how it is adapted into the New Model Army's banner. Next up, the 2ns English Civil War gets properly going...

Chapter 18 And GOD said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which [is] the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to...

Thank you everyone who voted in the Turtledoves- it's great to see so many people have been enjoying the TL. Not sure if we have more rounds to go, but if so, please don't let up, it'd be great to get the pre-1900 one as well... Oh, and here's a present to say thanks :D

Hi all! I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that the next chapter remains stubbornly 75% done, so you may have to wait for a little while for that, but the good news is that I am making progress, and when I start posting again it will be regular like before; I’ve almost completed...
