I'm currently trying to explore a scenario inwhich Louis II of Hungary doesn't die at the Battle of Mohács. Putting aside the exact developments concerning Hungary itself, what I wish to discuss here is the potential butterflies West of the Leitha. This is what I settled on so far: Margaret of...

The 24 February of 1525 would remain forever among the worst days in the history of France as the battle of Pavia had been a terrible defeat and likely the end of any italian ambition: the French army was destroyed, most of the men dead or captured and the same for its nobility: King Francis was...

Visualise the following scenario: Following the disastrous Battle of Mohács and Louis II's death, Ferdinand von Habsburg and John Szapolyai both claim the Hungarian throne for themselves. However unlike IOTL, the Battle of Tarcal(1527) proves to be more decisive, as it results in not only...

What if Charles V split up his vast domains differently? If instead of passing on Sicily, Naples, Milan and Spain to his son, he gave them to his brother Ferdinand. And instead of passing on the Holy Roman Empire to his brother, he gave them to his son Philip.

What would happen if the deaths and lives of the children of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York were switched? How different would be the situation with only Elizabeth, Edmund and Katherine living?

The OTL end result of the seemingly endless slogging match that was the Italian Wars was an overwhelming Habsburg victory, with them gaining and keeping control of Milan and Naples. What would be the effects on both branches of the dynasty (Spanish and Austrian) if they instead lost both of...

Just trees, some little snippets and character descriptions from an universe who I do not know if I will ever transform in a full TL... POD is Henry VIII dying in 1511 with Margaret inheriting England and Catalina remarrying another three times...

Note: This coincides with my Stronger Piedmont-Sardinia althist so check that out before this. We all know that the Congress of Berlin in 1878 was, to put it mildly, a slap in the face. Romania became independent, but still had to recognize Russia’s ownership of Bessarabia, Serbia and...

So not long after the disaster at Mohacs, Ferdinand I and John Zapolya competed for the Hungarian throne. Ferdinand's forces took Buda and decisively defeated Zapolya in the Battle of Tarcal. Zapolya retreated and asked for Ottoman help, which culminated in the Siege of Vienna and Turkish...

In other thread I've proposed this chainn of events: That was part of challenge to make Mary Tudor wife of Sigismund Augustus. But let's ignore English part and concentrate on the bolded part instead, maybe with little modification-Anna of Bohemia and Hungary dies from some illness before...

During the reign of Maximilian II and especially following the brother's conflict & 30 years war, it was became evident to the most senior imperial Habsburg (Maximilian II, Ferdinand III & Leopold I) that the division of the realms weakened their hands in the terms of resources available to...

So I had a idea that nagged me for a while. Philip of Burgundy and Joanna I of Castile had two sons, Charles b 1500 and Ferdinand b 1503. If Charles's ship goes down on the way to Spain in 1517 in autumn does Ferdinand, a infante born and raised in Spain become king of Castile and Aragon? Does...

So what do you think, what could possibly happen, if Emperor Maximilian is elected as King of Hungary? For POD, let's say he marries Beatrix of Aragonia, the widow of Matthias and makes a compromise with Matthias's bastard son, John Corvinus, who would become the ban of several Southern...

On 3 December, 1560 François II of France passed away after suffering from a severe inner-ear infection which struck him suddenly following a hunting trip; although, it was rumored that Protestants had poisoned the young king’s wine so that his death would appear to be simply the ill-health that...
