Habsburgs Divided
Preface
The Goal of this TL is for the Ottomans to gain both Naples and Constantinople at first, I also want Castile and Portugal to unite but the Habsburgs are divided and may turn to Protestantism.
The House of Habsburg
Empress Eleanor of Portugal is found to be pregnant on 1454 and gave birth to a son named Leopold on December of 1454, Katharina of Thuringia is betrothed to him, Katharina would be a possible heiress of Bohemia, after her sister Anna had died on 1453. another son would be born on 1456 named Maximilian.
Emperor Frederick III of Austria m. Eleanor of Portugal
-Leopold, King of Bohemia and Austria
-Kunigunde, Duchess of Bavaria
-Maximilian, Duke of Burgundy and Flanders
On 1457, Ladislaus the Posthumous would die, George Podiebrady was chosen as the Ruler of Bohemia and the Duchies of Opole, Cieszyn and Glogow fell under Polish influence, Silesia was basically on a limbo between Poland and Bohemia, the center of Polish influence and culture was in Opole while the Center of the Bohemian influence was on Breslau.
On 1465, Katharina of Thuringia, Duchess of Luxembourg would marry Leopold, Prince of the Holy Roman Empire, it is negotiated that a partition of Silesia would happen and the succession of Hungary, Upper Silesia which is majorly Polish would go to Poland while the German Lower Silesia would remain under Bohemia and Hungary would be under Habsburg rule, Katharina already has no mother and is the sole claimant for Luxembourg against Charles the Bold.
The partition treaty of Silesia would make the borders between Poland and Austria better[1], after the treaty Prague was occupied by Polish and Austrian troops after the year and expelled Podiebrady and after that the partition of Silesia happens, Bohemia, Moravia, Lower Silesia, Bohemia and Luxembourg would remain permanently under the Habsburg rule and Austria would be considered a part of the Lands of Bohemian crown.
Maximilian did marry Mary of Burgundy on 1478, the brother of Mary of Burgundy, Charles, would die childless on 1489[2] causing a war between the Holy Roman Empire and France.
There would be two branches of the Habsburgs, the Burgundian Branch from Maximilian who married Mary of Burgundy and the Bohemian-Hungarian Habsburgs from Leopold who married into Bohemia.
1. there would be no reason for any alliance or reason for any alliance between two powers and the two would drift apart, the Polish Silesia would under the Poles and German Silesia would under the Germans, the Polish minority in Lower Silesia would slowly migrate to Poland.
2. Mary of Burgundy does get a brother from Margaret of York who dies childless.
The Empire of Kutai
The Majapahit allied with Melaka which caused the countries such as Sulu and Saludang to ally with the Majapahit in order to ally against Brunei, the empire of Majapahit is slowly ceding its power to Melaka.
On an unknown year on 1450’s- 1460’s, the Kingdoms of Kutai, Saludang[1], Illanun[2] and Sulu formed an alliance against Brunei due to its Militaristic expansions, knowing that Brunei is a threat to their existence, the alliance would stall any aggression from Brunei against the four Kingdoms, this is a birth of a new order in the East of the Malay Archipelago, this will prevent the threat to the Kingdoms of the Eastern Malay Archipelago now that Majapahit is weakening.
The Kingdom of Kutai defeats Brunei a few decades later after the formation of the alliance and annexed Brunei completely and Kutai moved its capital to Sabah in Kinabalu[3] in order to improve its relationship to the three other Kingdoms.
The Kingdom of Saludang was later known as the Kingdom of Gintu which literally means Gold, known as Kingoku in Japanese or Jinguo in chinese, the four Kingdoms would be trading with the Ryukyuans, Chinese and the Japanese.
The Kingdom of Gintu would reform into having a centralised government and Namayan, Kaboloan and Kumintang were integrated to the Kingdom, Faru would be an important Province which is centered on the City of Faru[4] and consists of the City of Faru and its environs up to Gattaran and the Babuyan Islands, it is called by the Chinese as Baipuyan.
The languages/regional dialects of Gintu known to the foreigners would be [5]Ifaru, Ilian, Ikabolwan, all of the provinces of Gintu have their own distinct dialect, some of the people of Gintu consider the Lakan, the ruler of Gintu as divine[6].
The Kingdom of Illanun would also reform as well, centering in Sebangan[7] because the Kingdom whose dialects are Isebanganen and Subanen, the Isebanganen dialect lost its individuality with the dialect of the Lanao confederation while the upland dialect remained its individuality.
