English Hapsburgs: A Preview

Once again thanks for the inputs I am currently working and fixing some of the tl to fi things I had not thought of. But ill answer some of your questions on what I plan to do:
Yes the throne of Hungary and Bohemia will be contested as Anne dies and louis ii is not killed in the battle of mohacs. Mary will have issues on claiming the English throne but in both cases the hapsburgs will prevail. Then depending on how far I'll go this will turn from a hasburg wank to the fall of the hapsburgs across the world. There will even be hasburgs sitting in thrones outside of Europe at some point.
Finally one over arching theme I will use will be decadence. Society in the tl will be quite decadent as time progresses

If Louis II isn't killed then there is no contest. He is the legitimate king, and all the other claims would be much weaker in comparison.

So Louis II loses the Battle of Mohacs, but not his life? Hmmm. That is quite interesting. I have a feeling that without the catastrophic defeat at Mohacs it will not be nearly so easy for the Hapsburg to assume control of Bohemia. The German princes and Polish King would be crazy not to contest Hapsburg control of Bohemia, and Louis II will have a chance to name his heir if he has no issue.

If the Hapsburg succeed to both England and Bohemia the French are going to have trouble. And the Ottomans probably too, if France suffers serious defeats, now that it is totally encircled by Hapsburg territory.

George Hohenzollern as King of Bohemia would be awesome by the way.
