  1. Richard II dies in 1399

    I think Langley's the obvious choice for being regent here. Edmund and John Mortimer are untitled so doubtful of the Lords accepting him, Bolingbroke is still technically exiled, his sons untitled and too young, leaving Langley to take up the mantle. Assuming obviously that everyone doesn't go...

    "Most Interesting Scenario To You" Redux Thread

    I have an idea of a rather vague chronology where the Burgundian Valois along the XVth century unified by dynastic union and conquest Burgundy, France and the Holy Empire. A bit like the house of Habsburg. The goal would not be to present a monolithic Empire but rather a kind of loose Union and...
  3. Richard II dies in 1399

    Hmm interesting, but if he's declined the throne he can't restore Bolingbroke to his lands and titles, as he doesn't have that power. At least he won't unless recognised as regent. I see
  4. Richard II dies in 1399

    Ian Mortimer claims that Richard entailed the throne to Langley and @material_boy mentioned once that after Richard's deposition, parliament chose between Langley and Bolingbroke after Richard's deposition.
  5. Richard II dies in 1399

    I think what happens here is Langley is offered the throne Langley declines in no uncertain terms He restores Bolingbroke to his lands and titles (maaaayyyybbbbee keep the lands he got for himself) He serves as regent for Mortimer
  6. The Forge of Weyland

    They kind of need to wind up China first - the tail end of the Nationalist offensives of 1940 are playing out and the Communists have still to launch their own attacks later in 1940. Doesn't directly impact the IJN and the SRA forces but logistics and materiel will be stretched until 1941.
  7. Richard II dies in 1399

    Was he? And would there be? Langley doesn't seem to have given much thought to the political situation. The man willingly bent the knee to Bolingbroke.

    Guess how I got this map.
  9. Striving for a world transformed by justice and peace - a TL from 1827

    In the evening of 14 May, armed police raided the houses of the five Ulster Volunteers, whose names and addresses Paul Elliott had given the police. The men were arrested and charged with murder, attempted murder and destruction of property. They were taken in a horse drawn police van to...
  10. Richard II dies in 1399

    Except that Langley is Richard's heir and I think there would be war between Langley and Bolingbroke.
  11. Dunkirk Disaster causes Spain and Soviet Union to join Axis.

    I'm trying to understand what pleasure you get dreaming up unlikely PoDs and watching them get systematically demolished time after time. How is Turkey going to be pressured to let her historic enemy through the Bosphorus? Germany literally has no cards to play apart from we'll invade. And...
  12. WI: Byzantine Emperor converts to Islam?

    My initial thought is that a knife soon gets imbedded in the Emperor's back, but the religious authorities may opt for a more formal and brutal execution of the apostate.
  13. Richard II dies in 1399

    Let's say Richard II is in Ireland in 1399, when he suffers an accident and dies. What happens next? By this point, Richard has already confiscated the Lancastrian estates thus denying Bolingbroke his inheritance, a child Mortimer is Earl of March and technically Richard's heir. Would...

    Very intriguing post, I find the evolution of the Factory system very interesting.

    WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Is there an actual rule saying Takei cannot do the movies while in office? Nixon got caught law breaking and conspiracy, just losing an election is not really punishment enough. The Democrats can spin the recession as a result of the previous Administration. They do need to respond quickly...
  16. DBWI: Market Garden Instead Of Scheldt Battle

    There is whole host of proposed airborne operations between landing in Normandy and crossing the Rhine, that were cancelled, but none divides historians as the plan named Market Garden. Some accuse Montgomery of missing the chance to end the war early with his caution, while others see his focus...

    A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    York’s best move possible is to send men to Calais (bit risky if Edward’s leading the armies) or go capture Henry VI in Cornwall.
  18. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Urgent? That can't be good. It never is really. But I guess that Henry (or one of his people) has made a move somewhere.
