This is a WI of the Spain and the Habsburgs History with very y possibilities that I thought worth to explore... What would have been the consequences both for Spain and Europe of the last male Spanish Habsburg heir (the future Carlos ll of Spain). Either being still born or as at the time...

So just to understand what I'm talking about, here's a map: This map shows the lands of the Habsburgs, Luxembourgs, and Wittelsbachs during the 1273-1378 period. Is it possible for either one of the houses to inherit the other two's lands? Basically either the Habsburgs inherit the lands of the...

Inspired by my liking/interest of all things Wittelsbach, I was wondering if there was a point (preferably after 1500), where the Wittelsbachs could become the premier power in Germany and assume leadership of the German empire (i.p.v. the Hohenzollerns or the Habsburgs)?

Is it possible, in the period between the German Interregnum (1250's) and Napoleon's defeat (1815), for the scions of the House of Wittelsbach, which ruled Bavaria, to acquire significant estates in North Italy, such as Milan, Parma, Venice, Mantua, among others? I can quickly think of two...

What the title says. I can't remember when exactly the marriage idea was proposed, but what if Marie were to marry Philipp of the Palatinate? Would he (with his territories near Marie's) be in a better position than Maximilian to defend them? How might this affect the future of the Burgundian...

OTL, the Wittelsbachs tried to get hold of the Southern Netherlands in the late 18th century. Unfortunately, Prussia and friends curbstomped that idea. I vaguely recall there may have been a suggestion that the Southern Netherlands go to a dispossessed Bavarian elector after the WotSS (Max II...

Hello all. This TL is written partially as the reboot of Duchess of Cumberland TL, however it will feature different PoD and slightly different cast of characters. Pretty much it is inspired by this discussion, though I decided on a slighlty different PoD/set of PoDs. So, we are starting our...

I must admit, I’ve overlooked the possibility for this match before or if it’s even likely, but here it is. The 14th century in the Holy Roman Empire was sort of a see-sawing between the Wittelsbachs and the Luxemburgs. It saw its last gasp at the imperial election where Sigmund of Luxemburg...

In 1193, Holy Roman Emperor Heinrich VI, wished to create a political alliance with France. He offered his cousin, Agnes of Hohenstaufen, to wed Philippe II. However, Agnes’ mother made use of her husband’s absence to marry Agnes to her original betrothed, the Welf prince, Heinrich V. In the...
