Imagining the following scenario = In 1894 Franz Ferdinand visited the English court. Some time ago I read that Maud was thought to be a suitable candidate for him. If Franz Ferdinand married Maud in 1894, and shortly thereafter inherited the throne (1896?), How would that be good for relations...

What if the Sword in the Anvil in the Stone really existed. And as part of English law, the Sovereign as proof of their legitimacy had to pull the sword from the anvil every Christmas Eve. What would be the repercussions if Queen Elizabeth pulled the sword, with ease, every year but this year...

Says John de la Pole takes English crown and his family remains on the throne for few generations ( perhaps Warwick dies young, Richard III wins Bosworth but dies just after battle leaving throne to John). How Royal house started by him would be called? House of de la Pole sounds too un-English...

Apparently Ludovico 'il Moro' tried to secure English involvement in the Italian Wars by pitching an engagement between his son and Mary Tudor (the elder). Henry VII wasn't having it and turned it down. So, let's suspend credulity for the moment, and say that Henry VII/VIII agress to marrying...
