According to my understanding Mazowia was a vassal of the Polish crown in those times. True, it only became integrated into Poland in the 1500-s. I guess weather to count it as a part of Poland depends on how independent it was from the Crown.

This was the OTL case every time Poland and Hungary got united under a single ruler. Louis wasn't pretty good at handling Polish affairs, and neither were the Jagellion rulers good at managing Hungary. Local nobility would either exploit a weak king, are conspire against a strong king who...

DominusNovus: But the Suebi also have a mountain for defense like the Dacians did, and we have huge romanized populations in the Po Valley and Gallia which could also be a force to resettle Suebia, should things not be working well enough for them. So it could work out. Fleetmac: As for the...

I was thinking about Saxon scots in northumbria in smaller numbers, and Scottish Lowland swarmed with Norse people. Then the norse could vikingize saxon northumbria after a conquest. I just can't find an idea about why the Saxons have appeared in weaker number in this TL.

I'd go for roman conquest which lasted at least a hundred years. A settlement policy that is harsh enough could do the trick, I mean, there's a nation ITL which supposedly have learnt perfect latin (at lest better latin than franch or spanish) in a rapid course of 50 years. - I'm looking at you...

I guess it would be possible if the Norse folks would have been settled in greater numbers and also on the lowlands. Then (if a strong kingdom existed) perhaps the saxon anglo-scots would have chosen another destination for settling. If the Norse Scotland remains vassal, or a close ally of a...

Temir it is Apparently I was misguided by the internets. Kazakh or Uzbek form should be "Temir". My bad, I correct the title. Yes, as I said, I imagined this situation with the rebellion starting somewhere around Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan and not Mongolia. Mongolia is way too for in the...

He's so unlikely that he counts as an Alian Space Bat or whatever their name is on this site :D I was thinking about a native Kazakh or Uzbek warlord, who would be acceptable by the Turkic (Kazakh-Uzbek-Kirgiz-Bashkir-Bulgar-Tatar) population and could recruit a huge volunteer army. My Khan...

Hi everyone! I'm new to this board, and I would like to give you some of my first ideas. in the pre-1900 topic I was advised to keep it to one POD idea per thread, here goes my first. I hope it is still somewhat fresh, at least I did't stumble across one such this when browsing the forum. I...

Thanks for the feedback! I also have thought about your point, but I reasoned with myself that we are talking about post-Marian reforms legionnaires. Legions are only faithful to their leader and definately NOT the senate. They were not Romans by right as they did not have a citizenship, and...

Subscribed to see what happens, the idea is very entertaining :) I'm also trying to create a Polish-Hungarian-Croat union in a TL or two, but with very different PODs, so I'm very interested to see how you pull it off. If your TL goes with his son stabilizing his reign over thes lands...

Hi everyone! This is my first post on this forum and I would like to ask your opinion about some of my ideas about timelines. Maybe they are way too improbable, or I fail to see some obvious facts that stand if the way in my hypothesis, or my oh-so-original TL idea was already written here a...
