    "A man can die but once; we owe God a death" "Fate & death, gives with one hand but takes away with the other!"

    Luis Caroz, the Spanish ambassador to the court of England since 1509, would announce his decision to return home, a few weeks after Henry VIII's death, stating that this was down to health issues. In his place it had been decided by Ferdinand II of Aragon, that, Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba...

    Hamiltons instead of Stuarts?

    In my time line, I have the Hamilton’s gain the throne following the childless deaths of James IV and John Duke of Albany. Here is a link to my idea https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/list-of-alternate-monarchs-and-aristocratic-lineage-ii.540474/post-24781387

    Below I’ve copied the rule from Forum Rules and Guidelines The three post rule seems to apply for images that aren’t “alternative history related”. The images shared by Danielassos, are all used to gauge readers opinion on what this alternative history character will look like, assisting in...

    "A man can die but once; we owe God a death" "Fate & death, gives with one hand but takes away with the other!"

    John of Albany and his successor will continue the Auld Alliance, however the defeat at Alnham has dampened moral and the political chaos of losing a large number of nobility, will make it hard for the Scots to be of much use. I am also working out the “peace terms” for the “undeclared war”...

    "A man can die but once; we owe God a death" "Fate & death, gives with one hand but takes away with the other!"

    This was an interesting one to make and I enjoyed the challenge. I had to use a whole mixture of different wikiboxes. To make it four belligerents I used the The War of Three Kingdoms. For the crosses representing natural deaths (Ferdinand V and Louis XII) I had to go on the Wikipedia page...

    The Black Widow Theory, is a book that makes an approach to the study of the history of Dowager Queen Regent, Katherine of Aragon by Professor Natalie Francisco Rico, which generated criticism and controversy after its publication in 1964. Many of the complaints centered on the book's...

    "A man can die but once; we owe God a death" "Fate & death, gives with one hand but takes away with the other!"

    Apologies I’ll correct this to no surviving “legitimate” issue to succeed him on the throne. I will do an update on the Scottish nation post 1511, after I flesh out what’s happening in England. Alexander would have most likely joined his father into this battle as he did in Flodden. I doubt...

    "A man can die but once; we owe God a death" "Fate & death, gives with one hand but takes away with the other!"

    Not that she had any part in ridding, one of them With the OTL birth date, 10th of April, the conception would have taken place around July14th to July 21st 1511, so sadly James IV, leaves the world without a surviving “legitimate” issue to succeed him on the throne. The Scottish part of the...

    9th and 10th March King Henry VIII’s earthly remains, had rested at the Palace of Westminster, disembowelled, embalmed and dressed with all the different spices from the merchants in London, while the funeral was being arranged, on the morning of the 9th, while all the priests and clergy...

    "Welcome Class, Last week, we examined the final few decades of the fifteenth century, focusing on the end England's War of the Roses, along with the introduction of the Tudor dynasty, going into the early years of the sixteenth century, the death of Arthur, Prince of Wales in 1502 and then...

    Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VII (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    Great idea of showcasing alternative presidents. I did notice that both President Hearst and Ford, both claim to have visited Europe first and throw out the ceremonial pitch. Didn’t know if this was meant to be Ford not agreeing with his predecessor’s claim or doing them under different...

    Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    The army would be more as a security military presence rather than participating in an actual war. I imagine Ferdinand sending someone like Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba as ambassador to England, to support his daughter as regent.

    Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    An unusual question, but hopefully not a redundant one. Could (or Would) a foreign queen regent be allowed/permitted to receive military support from her home nation, to secure her infant son’s throne? The example I am thinking of using is: Following the death of Henry VIII and the succession...

    You can happily steal this idea. Glad I could assist. I couldn’t imagine a better vicar, especially when that image is place with Dawn French reading the longest sermon on brotherly love (The Great Sermon Handicap) Again, I am glad to assist, adding wood to this beacon of comical genius. It’s...

    Maybe just a passing reference, possible Rev Granger conducting the ceremonial funeral for Bertie. Fair enough, will still be reading either way, your writing matches your great imagination.

    List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage II

    For John II of Scotland, I’m thinking of going for Mary of Bourbon, whom in OTL was the subject of marriage negotiations of James V of Scotland. With Francis I suggesting her as his prime choice after his sickly daughter. IOTL she never married and I was hoping that this marriage would not...

    List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage II

    Thanks, as I said I’m looking to flesh out the idea more before restarting it. I have a match in mind for the young king, with his mother being a strong advocate for this bride, while other members of the council and nobility pushing others. That’s what I’m hoping to do. It’s why I want to...
