  1. Eleanor Talbot

    I'm reading a book about Lady Eleanor Talbot at the minute and it got me thinking that what if Edward IV was made to stay married to her? It can be for whatever reason, maybe somebody else finds out and it comes out to the court etc or maybe Eleanor is more strong will and doesn't passively...
  2. Henry and Anne of Cleves

    I've been reading a book "The other Tudors - Henry VIII's Mistresses and Bastards" and in it the author talks about a child that one of Anne of Cleves servents had (after the divorce) that was rumored to be the Kings. To expand this more the rumor that went round court was that Henry VIII had...
  3. Alexander the Great

    Just watching the film on tonight, What if Alexander married a Macedonian noble women before he set out on his Asian Campaign? Say a year after ascends the throne - to placate his mother, then year after said wife has a son. So in 334BC Alexander the Great has a son, how will this change how...
  4. Joys of Uni

    Got to do a 5 minute presentation on a choice of 4 What If's, 've picked; What if Sulla never retired? Any thoughts . . .
  5. Elizabeth and Thomas Seymour

    My lecturer yesterday was saying there has been the strong possibility that Thomas Seymour wanted to marry Elizabeth, if when Katherine Parr died; leaving Thomas a widower. He managed to to get Edward (and his brother - i think he was still protector at this point?) to agree to his marrying...
  6. Willam and Harold

    Inspired from the "What if Henry and Richard died at Bosworth" thread and the fact i had an exam on this today :( What if in 1066 after the Battle of Hastings; with Harold dead, William dies - say he's hit by a lucky arrow as the Saxon shield wall crumbles. What would happen to England...
  7. Henry VII and his second marriage

    What if Elizabeth had died in giving birth to Arthur? One book im reading about Henry and his family says that in the case of her dying his mother had already considered pushing for a marriage to Elizabeths sister - Cecily. Now what if this happened? How would this change history as we know...
  8. The Italian Women

    I was just reading "The Italian Women" by Plaidy and it got me thinking. If Catherine de' Medici died during the reign of her son King Francis II how would the future of France pan out. Francis II would still, probs, die leaving his widow (Mary, Queen of Scotland) however when Charles came...
  9. Athens and Sicily

    What if the Sicilian Expedition of Athens, during the Peloponnesian War worked and they managed to take control of the Island, i think in the long run it would actually be a bad thing for them as it would leave them to stretched, whilst it may enable them to break Sparta a bit more i think it...
  10. The Kids of King Henry

    What if all the children of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon had live to adulthood, what massive changes could we get out of this; alliances, marriages etc The Children were: A daughter (stillborn, in 1510) A son; Prince Henry, Duke of Cornwall (born, in 1511) A daughter (stillborn...
  11. WW2 alternative history Game

    This one is quite interesting as well, you take control of a nation just after WW2 has finished. http://z3.invisionfree.com/Alternate_History_2/index.php?act=idx
  12. King Harry

    Was just reading through about Henry VIII and one thing it said that grabbed my interest was that he would let his attention slip from one thing to another quite easily. Now i know he regarded Kathrine of Aragon as his true love etc etc :D but lets say the fact he can't have her straight away...
  13. Prince Rupet and Dudley

    Just been reading "Prince Rupet; The Last Cavaliar" by Charles Spencer, good book actually. My question is that it talks about his son Dudley Bard, had he lived (he died fighting the Turks in the last battle at Buda) he would of technically had a better claim to the throne than his german cousin...
  14. William Wallace, Robert the Bruce and 1314

    Just watched Braveheart. What is likely to happen if The Bruce looses Bannock Burn?
  15. Legal Bonaparte Succession to the British Throne

    In another thread on here it was said Victoria was thinking about marrying off Napoleon (Napoléon Eugène Louis John Joseph Bonaparte - to be precise :D ) to a relative. What would happen if it happend? - Any obvious changes? And if you can, have the happily (or not) married couple gain the...
  16. DLG & Haig

    David Lloyd George when he came to power wanted to have Haig replaced but Haig had support of the Conservatives and the King. Say DLG had got his way, what would this bring about in releation to the war and post-war politics? Any ideas
  17. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman

    Right i think this is the right forum for it. Im doing some work on the Liberals and Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, when the Boer War broke out the divisions within the Liberal party almost broke it apart. Liberals such as H. H. Asquith and Lord Rosebery were Imperalist and supported the War...
  18. Gladstone & Disraeli

    In Disreali's second premiership the Eastern Question came about; Gladstone had wanted to support the Christian proviences who were freeing themselves. Disraeli however decided to keep the alliance with Turkey because he believed if the Proviences became independant countries they would fall...
  19. King Albert Victor

    Was watching a program tonight "Price Eddy, the king we never had" very interesting; it was saying that he was a very different man to his brother (George V). One thing it said was that he was being considered for the viceroy of Ireland as they thought he might be the man to help defuse the...
  20. Russia

    I'm thinking of doing a TL based around the 1905 Russian Revolution, where Tsar Nicholas has a heart attack or something that takes him out and the Tsarvich becomes Tsar under the recgency of Michael. Do people think this could have potential or is it silly?
