AHC: Wank Aragon

He isn't talking about John of Asturias, but rather John of Aragon, the son of Ferdinand and Germaine of Foix.

ohh I now see, that he referred to John of Girona (the son from that marriage):eek:.

hmmm The Habsburgs will still inherit Castille in that scenario, this will still divide their focus, but IMHO a war of the Aragonese succession is still not likely.
 
Murcia's taifa was long gone. Murcia was conquered by Aragon in a campaign lasting from 1296-1300.

Aragon didn't get to keep all of Murcia -- pursuant to a treaty it turned most of it over to Castile in 1304. Obviously, this could form another point of departure, ultimately leading to an Aragonese coast running continuously all the way to Portugal.

Damn I mean FORMER Murcia´s taifa ... but ignoring the treaty would produce many butterflies ( and possibly a war, but if Aragon wins ... )
 
Possible idea, could the Almorgavars have had even more success against the ERE than they already had OTL? Aragon could gain the entirety of Greece in such a situation, maybe more.

That is what I was trying to do in a failed timeline of mine, an Aragonese Greece.

How stable would such a far-flung Mediterranean empire be? If one part is next to Castile on steroids and one part is next to the Ottomans, over 2000 kilometers away, I can see some problems keeping the empire together over a long period of time.
 
It's good to remember that IOTL Aragon was only able to keep and expand their Italian territories exactly because they were united with Castile, that provided them military commander and manpower to do it. Without the Castilians the Aragonese power in the Mediterranean would probably be reduced.
