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

    For those curious, the John St John who appears in the most recent update has a Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_St_John_(died_1302)

  2. Victorious Conradin and the Duchy of Swabia

    I think so too, if Louis would agree to it, which might not be likely if Charles is dead or imprisoned. Another likely enemy for Conradin is Charles of Anjou's sons, Charles II and Philip, or whomever else an unfriendly Pope can tempt with the royal title, like Peter III of Aragon. Another...

  3. Victorious Conradin and the Duchy of Swabia

    Well, he did recognise Conradin as the legitimate King of Sicily and advised his brother not to take the Pope's offer. Wikipedia says that Prince Louis and Berengaria were betrothed in 1255, before Ferdinand de la Cerda was born and she was heir presumptive of Castile, and they remained...

  4. Victorious Conradin and the Duchy of Swabia

    On the one hand, marrying a Hungarian princess (maybe Mary, Charles II's OTL wife) might aid him in enforcing the claims of his friend, Frederick Margrave of Baden, to the Duchy of Austria, and like Charles II get him a claim on the Hungarian throne. On the other, marrying a Capetian princess...

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

    If it's a boy, Edward (for Edward's father), Eric (for Margaret's father), Alexander (for Margaret's grandfather) or Henry (for Edward's grandfather) If it's a girl, Eleanor or Margaret (the names of both Edward and Margaret's parents and grandparents)

  6. Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    Given that the sickly Princess Madeleine of Valois grew up in the Loire Valley region of France instead of Paris, and died two months after arriving in Scotland, would her chances of survival have been better had she been married off to somewhere in the south, like Spain, Portugal or one of the...

  7. Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    I see you're point of view, but I could imagine that William would still want an alliance with the Hohenstaufens and/or make the Hohenstaufens give up their claim on Southern Italy. I can also see Tancred not having exactly the same support he did IOTL, especially if Henry of Swabia doesn't...

  8. Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    If Bohemond, Duke of Apulia (b. 1181), the son of King William II of Sicily and Joan Plantagenet had survived (or existed in the first place, depending on what you believe) at least until his father's death in 1189 (also assuming that Constance was still married to HRE Henry VI to gain an...

  9. Trastamara Spain? What would happen if Fernando II of Aragon and Isabel I of Castile actually had a living son?

    Only if the Navarrese Beaumont party could overcome Catherine's mother, Magdalena of France, which they didn't OTL when she arranged Catherine's marriage to Jean d'Albret.

    What if Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine had given John to the church?

  11. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage II

    POD: King Philip IV of France's youngest son, Robert, does not die, and becomes King of France and Navarre after the deaths of his brothers. King Philip IV of France (b. 1268, d. 1314) - married Queen Joan of Navarre (b. 1273, d. 1305) 1. Margaret (b. 1288, d. 1300) 2. King Louis X 'the...

  12. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage II

    Albert Jagiellon, the second son of Sigismund I and Bona Sforza, survives. I have only made it as far as 1631. King Sigismund I 'the Old' of Poland-Lithuania (b. 1467, d. 1548) - married Barbara Zapolya (b.1495 , d. 1515), Bona Sforza, Duchess of Bari and Rossano (b. 1494, d. 1557) 1...

  13. WI: Anna d'Este becomes Duchess of Modena and Ferrara

    In 1597, Alfonso II d'Este died without male issue, and the Duchy of Modena passed to his cousin, Cesare d'Este, while the Duchy of Ferrara was reclaimed by the Papal States. However, Alfonso's older sister, Anna d'Este, was still alive at the time and had two surviving sons, Charles de...

  14. WI: Leo VI's son Basil survived?

    IOTL, Byzantine Emperor Leo VI had an either stillborn or short-lived son named Basil by his third wife, Eudokia Baiana, who died in childbirth in 901. If Basil had survived, he would have been 11 at the time of his father's death, this still requiring a regency, but a shorter one than OTL...

  15. Basil II has a nephew- better Byzantine 11th Century?

    So, I'd been thinking about, when Romanos III came to the throne, whether he'd just leave Zoe and Theodora to their lives in the gynaeceum or whether he'd send them to monasteries, as Romanos II did with his sisters. That, in turn, got me thinking about what if Otto III had lived long enough to...

  16. Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    Three Byzantine PODs. Two for the Macedonian dynasty and one for the Laskarid dynasty: 1. What if Constantine, Basil I's eldest son by his first wife, Maria, survives past 879 and becomes emperor when Basil dies? He was originally betrothed to Ermengard of Provence, daughter of Louis II of...

  17. Basil II has a nephew- better Byzantine 11th Century?

    Constantine VIII and Helena actually had three daughters - the eldest being Eudokia, whose faced was scarred by an illness and then became a nun. So maybe another possibility, for people who want to keep Zoe and Theodora around, is to have Eudokia born as Romanus instead, though still getting...

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

    In terms of names, when I thought of this POD, I chose Edward for the eldest son, Eric for the middle son, Alexander for the youngest son, Eleanor for the eldest daughter and Margaret for the youngest daughter. Thinking about this POD also made me wonder if Margaret would try to pull an Anne of...

  19. Best Monarch/Head of State to keep alive for a more prosperous future

    Margaret, Maid of Norway, survives to become Queen of Scotland proper and marry Edward II of England, uniting the two kingdoms with less bloodshed than IOTL.
