  1. Louis the Great of Poland and Hungary and Elizabeth of Bosnia had a male heir

    Maybe, it is more logical to start the war after death of Casimir? Louis II was born in July, Casimir died in October, Sigismund was born in 1368 - so Charles can claims the thron for Sigismund or for Wenceslaus in 1370 already. And Poles can support Charles in 1370 - or after several years of...

  2. Louis the Great of Poland and Hungary and Elizabeth of Bosnia had a male heir

    Oh. I always thought that Hungary-Poland was kind of personal union, that ends with death of Louis - probably, because Catherine and Louis of Orlean expected to rule either Hungary or Poland. But even if Louis II is heir for the united country, it seems that in 1372 Maria is still a valuable...

  3. Louis the Great of Poland and Hungary and Elizabeth of Bosnia had a male heir

    I thought about otl - Sigismund was betrothed to Maria in about 1371, when neither Vladislav nor Hedwig were born, and sorry I do not understand what is changed if Louis II was born in 1370 and what is the difference with Catherine. I thought, Louis II gets Naples after marriage and did not...

  4. Louis the Great of Poland and Hungary and Elizabeth of Bosnia had a male heir

    As Poles demanded to have a king who will be live in Poland (and to be in good relations with Charles), I believe, the same marriage for Maria: Sigizmund of Luxemburg, who became the King of Poland. And Vladislav of Durazzo can marry Hedwig (it seems, it is better for his age and Maria is better...

  5. Catherine, Queen of Hungary and Mary, Queen of Poland

    It seems, she was strangled because Charles of Durazzo was afraid of Louis of Anjou. In TTL, Louis does not attack Naples and Charles may do not want to kill Joanna. But maybe not. Then, if Charles is killed, Urban recognizes Ladislaus as the king - and I think, Urban gets his part of the...

  6. Catherine, Queen of Hungary and Mary, Queen of Poland

    Interesting. It means, that Joanna lives at least a bit longer. And it means, that after death of Louis of Hungary (1382, September, 10), Charles of Durazzo can immediately come to Hungary (1382, autumn?) - but, probably, only to be assassinated soon (1383, February?). During invasion...

  7. Catherine, Queen of Hungary and Mary, Queen of Poland

    Again, I am based more on the Wiki: Urban VI wanted to cede part of Naples Kingdom to his nephew, Francesco Prignano, so Joanna I supported Clement VII. On 11 May 1380 Urban VI declared her a heretic and her Kingdom, a papal fief, to be forfeit and bestowed it upon Charles of Durazzo. Joanna...

  8. Catherine, Queen of Hungary and Mary, Queen of Poland

    Sorry, I have used Wiki and thought that for Louis Charles was not an option in TTL: "Catherine was supposed to be married to Louis upon reaching marriageable age, and he would retain the rights to Naples even if the marriage were childless and Catherine were to predecease him, while Provence...

  9. Catherine, Queen of Hungary and Mary, Queen of Poland

    But why Pope prefers Charles of Durazzo, if Catherine lives? Charles is the ally of Louis of Hungary, and probably Pope consulted both of them. And if he does, I am afraid, Louis of Hungary does not approve it and deny to use Hungarian/Croatian army in Naples. And I think Louis can "ask" Charles...

  10. Catherine, Queen of Hungary and Mary, Queen of Poland

    "Would Mary still marry Sigismund or Polish nobles would refuse him" The main reason was the fear of Polish nobles to be the servants of Hungary, without their own king. Generally, they liked Sigismund who even knew their language. It was all prepared for the coronation, when Louis died, if I...

  11. WI: Stephen Báthory is killed on July, 9, 1575

    After some investigations (you can read the details about OTL in the article), it seems, that Alfonso II d'Este, duke of Ferrara, would be elected as "anti-king" for Maximilian. I think, the deputation to Ferrara will be captured by the Emporer, as in OTL the same deputation to Transylvania...

  12. WI: Stephen Báthory is killed on July, 9, 1575

    In OTL, on this day, Gaspar Bekes was defeated by Stephen Bathory. Bekes was designated Bekes as Voivode of Transylvania by John II Sigismund Zápolya, King of Hungary . However, the Hungarian nobles elected Stephen Báthory as their voivode while Bekes was away on a diplomatic mission in the...

  13. WI the Great Northern war is delayed and Sweden is in the anti-French Grand Alliance in 1702?

    Peter without allies against Sweden - I thought more about Peter than french money. In OTL Peter lost all allies but continued to fight and even attack a new enemy - Ottomans. So I thought that if France can secure the south border, part of Sweden army is busy in Europe, Peter has "free hands"...

  14. WI the Great Northern war is delayed and Sweden is in the anti-French Grand Alliance in 1702?

    Thank you, I have update my knowledge about Karl XII now. So, only part of the Sweden army with officers goes to Germany. Augustus makes reforms in Poland and struggles against Sapeha in GDL. Narva is not sold (even if Peter really proposed it). Then France may ask Peter to attack Sweden (and...

  15. WI the Great Northern war is delayed and Sweden is in the anti-French Grand Alliance in 1702?

    I have read very fast about Sapieha's and August. If I understand correctly, without the war, August can do not support Sapeha - and in this case, may take control of GDL even without a civil war.

  16. WI the Great Northern war is delayed and Sweden is in the anti-French Grand Alliance in 1702?

    I thought, he wanted to war himself. And as he is the king, he can go to the war. But my knowledge of his character is not very good. As for Sweden's Baltic Empire - I understand, that it cannot exist forever. Just curious, how long it can exist without Great Northern War. And if the Sweden...

  17. WI the Great Northern war is delayed and Sweden is in the anti-French Grand Alliance in 1702?

    Oh. Thank you! To give Bavaria to Sweden is an interesting idea.

  18. WI the Great Northern war is delayed and Sweden is in the anti-French Grand Alliance in 1702?

    Do you mean that Charles XII will not support Hapsburgs even if his father has declared the war to France? Or Charles XI cannot support the Big Alliance in 1702 as he did it in 1689? Sorry for many questions, I am not very good in the period. Thanks.

  19. WI the Great Northern war is delayed and Sweden is in the anti-French Grand Alliance in 1702?

    Thank you! 1-5. From my perspective, the best way "to use Charles XII" is to send him against Bavaria in 1702. If I understand correctly, Charles has good chance to defeat Maximilian II Emanuel before Villars comes to help him. If Charles can defeat Villars as well, it can change the whole war...

  20. WI the Great Northern war is delayed and Sweden is in the anti-French Grand Alliance in 1702?

    WI: Charles XI of Sweden died five years later, in summer of 1702? In OTL, Charles XI had complained of stomach pains since 1694. He continued to perform his duties as usual, but, in February 1697, the pains became too severe for him to cope and he died on 5 April 1697. In TTL, pains started in...
