I have multiple ideas for timelines, but I can't decide between them. So I would like the members of AH.com to help me decide on the possible timeline I could do. I currently have 4 possible PoDs for a TL.
1. A Cathartic Exercise. At the beginning of the Albigensian, or "Cathar" Crusade, Raymond VI of Toulouse appeals to King Peter the Catholic of Aragon, bringing the powerful Crown of Aragon into the conflict for control of Southern France. In OTL, Raymond didn't ask for help until he was exiled from Toulouse. Also, sorry for the pun. This is my personal favorite, but don't solely choose it based on my preference.
2. The Vikings Return to Dublin. At some point in his rule, King Sigurd I of Norway decides to attempt the conquest of Ireland through the right of his father-in-law (Muirchertach Ua Briain) being the High King of Ireland. (Self-proclaimed, of course.)
3. Armorica Ascendant. Conan II of Brittany survives his assassination by poisoned riding gloves (seriously) and begins a period of Breton pushing for full independence from the Frankish kings. Hearkening back to the old days of Rome, he re-names this "new" Brittany Armorica, after it's Latin name.
4. Harold Survives. Harold Godwinson does not die at the Battle of Hastings, but is severely wounded, and flees England with his family. This timeline will follow the ramifications of Harold's direct line surviving.
So which timeline is the most interesting to the members of AH? Whichever one it is, be warned, it may not show up for a while. Oh, and if the names are a bit... odd-seeming, that's because I'm just using them for ease of remembering which timeline it is.
