  1. A Reversal of Fortunes: A 'Tiny Tudors' timeline
    Threadmarks: Queen Anne's Triumph

    "It is hard to imagine what Anne Boleyn was thinking in April 1536. Her husband's attentions were straying elsewhere as Jane Seymour suddenly became the focus of the court. Many were not so quietly whispering that if Queen Anne couldn't produce an heir for England maybe England needed to produce...

  2. WI: Queen Anne has (much) better child mortality

    Queen Anne famously had 17 pregnancies but no children who survived to adulthood. I often see WI scenarios where William of Gloucester survives but what if Anne was actually able to have a brood. I know there are theories as to why Anne and George's children had such a low survival, but for the...

  3. Imperial Forces Help Louis II of Hungary

    So I'm writing part of my Tudor Timeline (insert shameless plug here) and dealing with the goings on in Central Europe of the 1520s. The rough plan so far is as follows: Louis and Suleiman still go to war over Hungarian tribute to the Ottoman Empire, but here Louis manages to get some Imperial...

  4. Alix of Hesse dies of Diphtheria

    In 1878, Diptheria swept over the Hessian court at Darmstadt, ultimately killing Grand Duchess Alice and her youngest child Princess Marie. IOTL these deaths permanently affected the second youngest Hessian princess, Alix, whose morose personality would become infamous during the twilight of...

  5. WI: Surviving Issue for Marie Therese and The Duke of Angouleme

    After reading a book on Marie Therese, daughter of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, I wonder how history would be affected if the Duke and Duchess of Angouleme had been able to produce an heir with Marie Therese's pragmatism and Angouleme's liberal leanings. For the sake of this scenario, let's...

  6. As the Sun Rise, A Daughter Falls- a Tudor Timeline
    Threadmarks: A Most Unfortunate Event

    “In late March 1502, the giddy aura of newly wedded bliss halted. Both the Prince and Princess of Wales had taken ill, likely with the sweating sickness that would plague England throughout the 16th century. Around the castle servants fretted, charged with saving the heir to the throne and his...

  7. WI: Switch the Fates of Arthur Tudor and Catherine of Aragon

    In 1502, shortly after the royal wedding, Arthur Tudor and his bride Catherine of Aragon both became ill with sweating sickness. IOTL Catherine of Aragon survived while her new husband perished, leaving Arthur's little brother Henry as heir to England. However, what if the young couple's fates...

  8. If Perkin Warbeck takes the throne, what becomes of his "nephews"

    Perkin Warbeck attempted to claim the throne by claiming to be Richard, Duke of York, during the reign of Henry VII. Many believed Warbeck most notably, I believe, Richard's aunt the Duchess of Burgundy. If he had claimed the throne, typical 15th century logic dictates he'd remove all potential...

  9. WI: William IV's legitimate children survive

    While William IV of the UK had several illegitimate children with his mistress Dorothea Jordan, none of his legitimate children with Queen Adelaide survived childhood. The question is how would history have been affected if four of theses children survived. There would be not Victoria and...

  10. DBWI: A world without Queen Elizabeth II (1820-1893)

    After the death of Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales in 1817 the sons of George III rushed to get married and produce an heir for Britain. Of course we all know the winner was the future William IV, who welcomed daughter Elizabeth in 1820. Elizabeth, known as the mother-in-law of Europe (both...

  11. AHC: A death to stop the Tudors

    Catherine of Valois might be best remembered for her marriage to Henry V, but her most important contribution to world history actually comes from her illicit second marriage, or at least relationship, with Owen Tudor, resulting in the Tudor dynasty via her grandson Henry. While I don’t plan...

  12. Gender Switch for Nicholas II's Kids

    Hey guys, this is my first thread and I'm unsure if this is the correct subform, but I recently was thinking of this question and I wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts. Nicholas II, the last Tsar of Russia, famously had 5 children: Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and hemophiliac Alexei...
