What it says in the title. Could it be possible that, with some POD after the 1350s, that the fall of Constantinople means that some other ruler or power legitimately becomes the legal Roman Empire (be it through some Orthodox state being ruled by a second son of the Emperor or whatever have you), or the Empire takes up someplace else (similar to how the ERE itself became the "Roman Empire").

Not counting a Ravenna-type situation where the Emperor relocates to Morea as a vassal of the Sultan. This situation would call for a sovereign Roman Emperor.

Also can't be Sultan Mehmet II or one of his descendents. Has to be a Christian European.
