All those look hideous tbh.

I love how every Christian IV chapter ends with him calling for his mistress du jourChristian dismissed the men and then waited before ringing a bell, he smiled when his mistress appeared. He’d missed her.
Lol, the man has his needs you knowI love how every Christian IV chapter ends with him calling for his mistress du jour
The flags do look quite good, though I do think given Wales was considered part of England, there's perhaps a bit too much representation of it in the flags aha.Though I do find the flag with the dragon and harp pretty cool.
AyeI do like the harp and dragon one as well, kinda covers everything.
Christian is going to die of old age before he actually sits down and negotiates with the Swedes I feel.

Abd oh what makes you say that?

IOTL she didn't learn German until later in life, and at the time of betrothal and up to the exile to the Netherlands she and Frederick spoke French to each other. Fred, raised by his French aunt and uncle, also would feel more natural speaking French (one of the problems he faced in Bohemia is that his German was crappy for a German nobleman, and he kept French as court language).Elizabeth switched to German as well and asked. “Which part?”
Oh interesting, duly noted.IOTL she didn't learn German until later in life, and at the time of betrothal and up to the exile to the Netherlands she and Frederick spoke French to each other.

There was even a famous historical anectode about brutalized French translation of wedding ceremony (the French interpreting was provided for convenience of the groom, but the official responsible for this kept mispronouncing words, making bride and groom difficult to keep faces proper for occasion).Oh interesting, duly noted.
Lol I’m definitely including thatThere was even a famous historical anectode about brutalized French translation of wedding ceremony (the French interpreting was provided for convenience of the groom, but the official responsible for this kept mispronouncing words, making bride and groom difficult to keep faces proper for occasion).
So the correspondence butterflies caused Fred to bother and learn some English pre-marriage TTL? Cause as I've said, French was their common language until pretty much the end of their married life, that's why all their children grew up at least trilingual (their mother spoke English to them, their dad spoke German to them however non-eloquent speaker of the language he was, and both parents spoke French to each other).Oh interesting, duly noted.

At least some names are going to be ATL definitely, as is post-1619 order.Elizabeth and Frederick get married just like IOTL, but would they have ATL children ITTL?
Seems like it.
