  1. WI: Sigismund the Old, king of Poland, Lithuania, Bohemia, and Hungary

    Vladislaus II had a stroke in 1504 which, given his age at the time, very well could have killed him. Let's say it does. His daughter Anne is 1 year old and Louis II hasn't been born yet, while Vladislaus' younger brother Sigismund (future Sigismund I of Poland and Lithuania) was the duke of...

  5. A question regarding Arthur, Prince of Wales

So what I'm curious about - for those here more literate in early modern England - is what quality of character prince...

  6. WI: Angevin Kingdom of Albania persists/remains joined to Naples?

    I read recently about Charles I d'Anjou's exploits across the Adriatic, including his conquest of medieval Albania and proclamation of himself as its king. This kingdom would last from 1272 to 1368, although it was seriously reduced in size during the 1280s-1290s by the Byzantines and Serbs...

  7. Una diferente ‘Plus Ultra’ - the Avís-Trastámara Kings of All Spain and the Indies (Updated 11/7)
    Threadmarks: 1. Un príncipe perdido, un otro príncipe adquirido (1497-1498)
