    Maid of Norway, Queen of Scotland: A Plantagenet Britain Timeline

    He would probably have an idea but would either think the Americas were exclusively in the north and still be trying to find a direct route to china. Or in turn, be looking for a southern route to the western lands as Britannia has a monopoly on the northern route.

    Here's hoping that Margaret's share of the inheritance gets her the Shetland and Faroe Islands, along with Iceland, and the settlements in Greenland which should still be going strong at the moment. Who knows, under Scottish and eventually Britannian rule I could easily see the Greenland...

    Pretty much this, better to focus on Ireland.

    Why bother with France they have no direct claim on the crown, and any lands on the continent are going to be a money pit in the long term. Not to mention that with the Scottish border secured Britannia's primary concern should become its fleet because as an island realm, it is their first and...

    Same number as Victoria and Albert sounds right to me

    Indeed, and with his current string of victories and his western flank nominally secure Bayezid will undoubtedly try to contest the Timurids by force of arms. Hopefully with similar results to OTL as the resulting Ottoman defeat and subsequent interregnum would allow the rebuilt Hellenes to...

    Here's hoping the Greeks get a victory, they've had a string of bad luck recently so they're due some good fortune.

    Indeed, if they can crush Naples permanently they can add their resources and manpower to the empire's own. But more importantly, they will be able to concentrate their own forces in much greater strength against their remaining enemies.

    The Turks are still the primary threat, but once they recover their lost territory and have stabilized that front, well, "Vae Victis".

    Why would it, as far as I'm aware Ioanna Philanthropenos, nee Lascaris is one of Theodoros's sisters, not his wife, and Ioannis II is married to the oldest sister so the succession is unchanged.

    Damn it... This has all the makings of a post Manzikert collapse. Please let their be a stable succession...

    Great update, and man another palace coup, the Palaiologoi really are fighting over scraps at this point. Fair enough, I'll be the first to admit I'm no expert on the period.

    ...be a natural ally for the Sicillians against other powers on the Italian Peninsula that I have difficulty seeing Hungary taking action against *cough* Papal States *cough* and that not even considering their close connections to the Italian banking industry, which could jump-start them within...

    Slight correction here, Valentina was the daughter of Gian Galeazzo Visconti, Bernabò's nephew who eventually overthrew him in 1485. Bernabò did have a daughter named Valentina but as she was illegitimate i don't think she would be considered an appropriate marriage partner for a king, even one...

    The empire didn't have much of a navy by the end, or the troops to capture the castles, so for them, it wasn't really a viable strategy. The Laskarids ITTL however, are a different story. Besides it's not like I'm advocating for it to happen immediately, for this war Alexandros II should focus...

    Classic EU4 strategy, isolate their European territories with a naval blockade and then siege them down one by one.

    Agreed, think how this looks to the average citizen of the empire, the Palaiologoi are siding with the very republic that destroyed the empire against the descendent and heir of one of the men who helped restore it, as he tries to free their fellow countryman from said republic all the while the...
