  1. Code Geass Britannian Dynastic Tree

    Hm I don't think it's an actual word for Lelouch, I think "vi" Britannia is supposed to denoted which empress he's the son of based on the canon of the show. So both him and his sister are "vi Britannia" while his half-brother is "eu Britannia" My headcanon is that it's based on the maternal...
  2. Code Geass Britannian Dynastic Tree

    No too sure what you mean by "monarchical number turn into an actual word"? Do you mean by the regnal numbers like "Edward X" etc...? Also for Lelouch, I'm still debating how to rationalize his name - I mean I did kind of rationalize Schneizel, Clovis (nickname from Louis/Lewis), Nunnally and...
  3. Code Geass Britannian Dynastic Tree

    So I finally had a few hours on my hands and I spent it all on a family tree of the "100 Britannian" Emperors from the anime Code Geass, tracing the descent of our main character Lelouch vi Britannia to the mythical Eowyn. I know the lore of the show doesn't go too deeply on the whole history...
  4. Donglin Academy takes power

    For the Ming it's essentially the Grand Secretary, the Chancellor-ship was abolished precisely to concentrate power in the hands of the Emperor and avoid a "Shogun-like" situation, but ironically the Secretaries eventually had more power. I mean to be honest during times of young or...
  5. Donglin Academy takes power

    I generally agree with these points, except I believe they were against taxation on merchants as well, the Eunuchs were trying to increase the Emperor's private treasury by setting up more merchant taxes, land taxes as well as setting up Imperial monopoly over mine, tea, and salt. Those however...
  6. TL: Luoyang to Latina (c. 1642)

    This is a lot at once, but I must say it's well put together and it must've took a lot of time. And it's quite enjoyable...however With that being said, here comes all the nitpicks, I hope you take them constructively and not personally. Overall the TL seems a little sketchy with regards to a...
  7. WI: Chongzhen Emperor accepts Li Zicheng's offer

    Okay, first of all I don't think the Dali Lama would care about the Shao-ling, the differences between the sects are too great. It's like saying that the Catholic Pope would care if an Anglican church was razed to the ground by the natives. And I don't see why they would need to "suck up to the...
  8. WI: Chongzhen Emperor accepts Li Zicheng's offer

    Pretty sure that by 1644, when the Ming imperial court's direct control north of the Yangtze was severely limited to plainlands around Shuntian + Shandong and Hebei, this supposed offer was not a sincere one, nor would it be abided by the Shun court (which was established on January 1st of...
  9. Bronze Age “Chinese Mesoamerica” in AH works?

    It's called "殷地安 ", was hosted on qidian.com but can't seem to find it anymore, only proof of it was the Baidu Baike entry https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E6%AE%B7%E5%9C%B0%E5%AE%89
  10. Bronze Age “Chinese Mesoamerica” in AH works?

    There's a Chinese Language online novel that had the Shang refugees be the genesis of the Mayans written almost 15 years ago
  11. Edgar Atheling keeps throne

    I've read a web-novel that had a Victorian cavalry officer mind-transplanted/inserted into Edgar immediately after Hastings. He survived in William's court through a friendship with Robert Curthose for awhile before fleeing North under the support of the Morcar/Edwin brothers and the old...
  12. Surviving Tudor, Alternate "Macbeth" or other Shakespeare Plays?

    Yes I should've worded my question better, I did say that Macbeth wouldn't turn out the same way, if it does get written. My second question was basically asking what would Shakespeare write for the Tudors akin to Macbeth i.e. what was the mythical origin of the Tudors. So just Cadwallader...
  13. Surviving Tudor, Alternate "Macbeth" or other Shakespeare Plays?

    If there's a surviving Tudor dynasty, how would Shakespeare's post-Elizabeth plays turn out? Particularly Macbeth, I doubt there would be emphasis on Banquo and Fleance and efforts to paint them in such a good light, unless there's a some sort of a Stewart match for the new Tudor King/Queen...
  14. Plantagenets get the French throne - would they become a French dynasty?

    It would be an easier POD for sure, but if we want to make the same situation allowing Edward III and Henry V to appear, cause you know, butterflies, it's much more difficult. But yes it'll definitely wipe out the Salic Law argument.
  15. Plantagenets get the French throne - would they become a French dynasty?

    That's a weird logic, why can't Edward III or Henry V be the precedence? Although I'm not stating it wouldn't be difficult, it's like Salic law in other countries weren't overwritten with enough compromise or forced applied. Yup my post there did suggest all of the Capetians, but it would...
  16. Plantagenets get the French throne - would they become a French dynasty?

    I'm certainly aware of this, hence why I suggested if Charles VI's son had all died. Furthermore, this was written in response to Ivan Lupo's claim that Henry V had less of a claim than Edward III, which like I said, if he were to push the claim of the surviving child of Charles VI, it would...
  17. Plantagenets get the French throne - would they become a French dynasty?

    Henry V's marriage was done precisely to avoid this, and it could easily be done if he crowned his wife as Queen of France instead. The issue was whether if the other sons of Charles VI still survived, if the English managed to kill Charles VII, and given enough autonomy for the Burgundian, it's...
  18. What if Japan saw an early Satchou Alliance?

    Well to do that you'd require an early enough of a POD to change Satsuma's stance, they were fierce supporters of the retaining Shogunate authority for the purpose of fighting against Choushuu influences despite previously having an antagonistic relation with the Shogunate. They only formed the...
  19. Chronicles of the Caseres of Engaland- Anglo-Saxon victory in 1066

    Yes that's great! And anything beginning with Alf- Al-/Ethel- and Ed- would really hammer home the idea of a Godwinson family related to the Wessex dynasty.
  20. Chronicles of the Caseres of Engaland- Anglo-Saxon victory in 1066

    Yes but Henry VII was of Welsh stock and wanted to hark back to the Arthurian legend, which would not have been popularized at the time of 1066 (nor associated with the Kings of England). Point is, Arthur devoted his life to fight the Saxons which was the basis of Harold's kingship, so to the...
