  1. WI: Charles I Stuart spared, but imprisoned

    There is a reason why overthrown monarchs were usually killed, unless they could get away to another country. In English history, the Yorkists tried to keep Henry VI alive and imprisoned. The next coup released Henry VI from prison and attempted to reinstate him as a figurehead. Later, James...
  2. Robert Dudley proposes to Queen Elizabeth I

    Unless you're saying Liz would be the ruling monarch indefinitely I don't follow you.
  3. Galloway and the Plan of Union: A Saga of a British America

    I was able to write out much of the next chapter earlier than I thought. I anticipate posting a new update by the end of the week.
  4. Robert Dudley proposes to Queen Elizabeth I

    Even then - it'd be House of Tudor still - Elizabeth is the ruling monarch, not Anjou.
  5. A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    Note - the whole Henry VIII/Joanna thing is not from Philippa Gregory. It is just Emma Frost and Matthew Graham's idea for the series.
  6. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Will this Edmund be any better or worse than another Edmund from across the pond?
  7. A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    Official version (aka Tudor approved) of the story. Simnel was crowned as King Edward and was said to be son of the Duke of York or Edward IV. And either Lincoln was a total idiot (he had a better claim than Warwick of his own) or he was following someone who claimed to be Edward V. In any case...
  8. No intermediate cartridge as we know it?

    Back to the SMGs, I guess :) A look at the small calibers' cartridges probably warrants another look. Between the military types, today we have the 5.7mm and 4.6mm at the bottom (work well for simple blowback weapons; 460-530J for military loads; effective ranges of 200m from SMGs), and 'true'...
  9. AHC: As big a Eurozone as possible

    IIRC the Tory government at the time tried really hard to prevent Black Wednesday so they could stay in the ERM, and received significant criticism for the amount of Britain's currency reserves they expended in a futile attempt to expend it. The conservative party often engages in self...
  10. And All Nations Shall Gather To It - A Crusades TL

    Frederick of Zollern? Who's that? [checks Wikipedia] Oh. ..... OH.
  11. The Forge of Weyland

    I think Leo's seeing the ruin being brought to his cities thanks to the Luftwaffe and at the moment its basically unopposed, and you could say that he listened to his heart rather than his head, as well as the voices of his advisors and generals. And so to spare his people any more brutal air...
  12. Anahuac Triufante: A more united and successful Mexico from Colony to Enduring Republic TL

    The next update will be a Mexico Update. We'll get to see what Juarez is up to as he reminds us that this is a Mexico timeline. That said, I think I am nearing the end point of this timeline. The 1880s presents many problems for me, I can't pretend that the same people will be born in the 1830s...
  13. A 1919 Kingdom of Syria, without a coastline.

    What level of influence are we talking about? is Syria practically a french puppet? in any case, it has to let Syria use its Mediterranean ports or else the Syrian economy will be completely destroyed. It has to be mentioned that the Syrian were very opposed to french control, so it is...
  14. WI: No Molotov-Ribbentrop

    If you are citing my post, that doesn't support the assessment of 2 years because those numbers include western resources captured or assessed as reparations in 1940 and 1941 plus increased resources that came from the Balkans after the fall of France such as Romanian oil (oil exports increased...

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

    Well Mr Muskie it seems you have done it- lets hope it's not a poisoned chalice with the various problems you are inheriting in America - perhaps we can suggest looking to Star Trek for an example of how people can co-operate and get on diplomatically together?
  16. A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    I found out the second girl's name is Marina Ruy Barbosa, so she might actually be Spanish or Portuguese (?). Either way she's strangely similar to Flandes' portrait of Juana. I'm glad you liked it!
  17. Mad Bad Rabbit

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    WWI German soldiers were Nazis because they wore pickelhaube, pickelhaube are are totally metal, and Nazis are totally metal. (Although strictly speaking they were only made of metal in 1915, after they ran out of leather and before they ran out of steel)

  19. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    Did the VNQDD ever have enough popular support to potentially be the capitalist anti-communist nationalist movement that could have supplanted the Viet Minh?
  20. Alternate Lord Protector during the reign of Edward VI?
    Threadmarks: Stability in the Isles Chapter 1

    "Herewith, my Lords, is my testament. When I am dead, my dearest brother Edmund, the Duke of Cambridge & Bedford will act as Lord Protector during Prince Edward's minority. He will be supported by my Lord Hertford, my Lord Chancellor Wriothesley, and Archbishop Cranmer. It is my desire to be...
