Challenge: how to get black or mixed-raced people on a European throne before the 19th century?
How could this be accomplished and what butterflies would ensue?
I'm thinking primarily of one of Portugal's colonial subject kings who converted maybe fleeing to Portugal and some sort of intermarriage going on...alternatively a mixed-raced bastard like Alessandro de Medici coming to power somewhere somehow.
