Oh damn, I forgot about them. Sorry:o! I wasn't meaning to criticize, because this is a very interesting idea.

Um, Charles had a one-year old son at the time of the bal des ardents. He would accede on the death of his father. There is also Charles' brother Louis, who started the whole fire. You would need to get rid of them for a Burgundian succession. Have the son be miscarried and Louis also be...

Just a small question: What happens to Eleanor of Brittany, daughter of Geoffrey son of Henry II, and a prisoner in England in 1216, in this timeline?

Why not go absolutely insane and have FIVE daughters of Henry VIII and Catherine survive. Their first child, a girl born prematurely in 1510, being born to full turn would possibly throw off the timing of the other pregnanices, so let's have this one die but after that: Mary, born in 1511...

Why is that?

Okay, let's have Edward die in 1272 and Edmund die of dysentary shortly afterward, just to make things interesting. I noticed that Philippe III of France's sons are quite close in age to Eleanor. I can see Philippe supporting Eleanor to the throne just for the option of marrying his son to her...

This is interesting because the protestants states themselves were incredibly intolerent.

Even in the event of Edward's death and the accession of Thomas, I think there is still going to be some kind of conflict over Aquitaine. This had been a stickler for over a hundred years by this point. The only way I could see to resolve this is for Thomas to give Aquitaine to one of his...

I remember reading in a book that during Elizabeth's illness her privy council were discussing the succession and all wanted Catherine Grey to succeed. But I also remember reading in another book that upon Mary Tudor's accession as queen in 1553 that she had Catherine and her sister Mary raised...

I remember reading that Josephine briefly thought she was pregnant by Napoleon before they married. This turned out not to be the case. But with your scenario how about she is pregnant and gives birth in the middle of 1796. What I find an interesting scenario is Napoleon dies just before his...

Hah, "Shitty Jamie". Anyway, suppose James did manage against all odds to pull off a victory that resulted in William's death? Would James be reinstated as King of England or simply Ireland?

Unless Queen Mary arranges a marriage for this younger sister herself. If this sister already had a baby son when Elizabeth succeeds what would she do then?

You wouldn't be able to have the Vatican City be a part of that without the ruler being the Pope, right?

Exactly what do you mean? Catholics and Orthodox are monotheistic. Christians were 'people of the book' along with the Jews. I read that he wanted to capture Rome so he could officially crown himself Roman Emperor in the old capitol of Rome.

Just who is this town destroyer?

This is fascinating. Would the effect on climate be similar if Antarctica moved north with Australia?

Damn I thought this thread was dead and now look at it. I going to resurrect it but that's no longer nesessary:). My intention in Spain was for an earlier united Spainish Kingdom not a complete collapse:(. Oh well. I don't want to step on anyone's toes so I'll do some work in Asia...

Louis didn't dislike her, he loved her dearly. But pressure from his nobles to divorce and his fear that she would continue producing girls led him to relunctanly grant her a divorce. When Eleanor was pregnant with Alix she feared it would be a boy and then she would never get the divorce she...

Heh, thanks:), I just thought Spain should get some love and I've wondered what would have happened had Sancho had only one son to suceed him. I agree Poland already had a signifigant amount of Christians among the common people and nobility for them to just roll over and accept this. And not...

Maybe I can add something: 1029: Three of the sons of Sancho III of Navarre, while attending a banquent in a manor house, are killed by a collapsing ceiling, leaving only one son, Ferdinand, to suceed to his father's kingdom.
