List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

I might use this in the future if that’s cool?
No problem! Actually this TL kills two birds with one stone since it makes the House of Dunkeld continue and butterflies the War of the Breton Succession, which in turn can have consequences on the Hundred Years' War.
 
Bona avoided accident during hunting party in Niepołomice Forest in September 1527 and in late November 1527 gives birth to her last child, healthy boy named Olbracht (Albert). Olbracht Jagiellon leaves Poland in 1545 to inherit Bona's Italian possessions-duchies of Bari and Rossano, and returns after brother's death in 1572 to succeede him as Grand Duke of Lithuania and King of Poland. Jagiellon Dynasty continues, so there is no Union of Lublin and PLC is never created ITTL (almost complete).

I like how you've also butterflied the Guises as we know them:)I assume ITTL Lucrezia d'Este marries to the Guises as was intended, and third d'Este sister, Eleonore, is the one going to Urbino.
Lucrezia was childless IOTL,though married relatively late.

I wonder if Guise would try to get hand of younget d'Este girl ITTL. Anyway, House of Guise is completly reshaped.
For Henri III I think Polish match is possible considering the fact that Catherine de Medici looked for wife for him even in Sweden.
 
Perfectly possible, me thinks.
Especially considering the fact, that it would not be new idea-idea of Polish-French match first appeared in late 15th century (Jan Olbracht and Germaine de Foix) and then in 1520s (Jadwiga Jagiellon with François I, Zygmunt August with Marguerite of France, Izabela Jagiellon with one of François I's sons).

Three sons of Jogaila: second son of Władysław II and Zofia Holszańska survives infancy. In 1440 Władysław III, oldest son of Władysław II, dies on his way to Hungary. His remaining brothers Kazimierz (that was name of Jogaila's second son, who died in infancy) and Bolesław (ITTL youngest son of Jogaila can't be named Kazimierz for obvious reasons) are too busy to think about Hungary for a while-not only King of Poland died, but also Grand Duke of Lithuania Žygimantas Kęstutaitis was assassinated around the same time. Hungarian throne is contested between Ladislaus the Posthumous and Lazar Branković (but due to lack of resources Lazar is soon defeated by supporters of Ladislaus). Meanwhile after succeeding Polish throne Kazimierz goes to Vilnius to negotiate status of GDL with Lithuanian nobles. After long negotiations sides agreed, that Bolesław would get title of Grand Duke for life, but he'd recognize Kazimierz as Supreme Duke. After death of Bolesław it would be decided by Polish King who'd be next Grand Duke, although Bolesław would get Volhynia as hereditary duchy after death of Švitrigaila (Volhynia was claimed by both Poland and GDL, keeping it as separate duchy after death of Švitrigaila would lessen the conflict between GDL and Poland. Kazimierz defeats Teutonic Order relatively quickly ITTL (unlike OTL Casimir IV he hasn't treasure ruined by Hungarian adventures of older brother) and after TO is crushed and his brother-in-law dies (ITTL Casimir is married to Anna of Austria, oldest sister of Ladislaus the Posthumous) Kazimierz takes also Bohemian and Hungarian thrones (Hungarians especially, after TO was crushed by Poland, would hope that with Poland's help they should stop Ottoman expansion).

Two questions
  1. Why is Victoria marrying the Duke of Modena of all people? He's really unimportant in the grand scheme of Europe, and if the UK is going to sacrifice a princess to the Catholics why a relatively insignificant dukedom and not a notable European power?
  2. Why the heck would Alexander of Modena call himself King Claimant of the UK? While the Jacobite claim was basically dead after Culloden, it was super dead by the time Henry Benedict Stuart died in 1807. No one took the claims after that seriously and by this point, the Act of Succession banning Catholics from the throne is over 150 years old. Calling himself King of the UK will be the equivalent of the Hanoverians that still called themselves King of France (absolutely no one will back him and no one in Europe will care)

I think you forgotten notes and you need to correct the formatting of the post as simple spaces are not enough
 
Two questions
  1. Why is Victoria marrying the Duke of Modena of all people? He's really unimportant in the grand scheme of Europe, and if the UK is going to sacrifice a princess to the Catholics why a relatively insignificant dukedom and not a notable European power?
  2. Why the heck would Alexander of Modena call himself King Claimant of the UK? While the Jacobite claim was basically dead after Culloden, it was super dead by the time Henry Benedict Stuart died in 1807. No one took the claims after that seriously and by this point, the Act of Succession banning Catholics from the throne is over 150 years old. Calling himself King of the UK will be the equivalent of the Hanoverians that still called themselves King of France (absolutely no one will back him and no one in Europe will care)

It was developed from an idea elsewhere of WI Francis pressed his claim, and one of the ideas suggested was that Francis marries OTL Victoria, possibly through earlier Catholic Emancipation and a change to the succession laws.

Here that doesn't happen, but the Prince of Wales, and the Duke of Clarence provide issue so Victoria never becomes the Heir Presumptive and remains a relatively minor Princess throughout her life and is allowed to marry a relatively minor - and Catholic - Prince because her accession was considered extremely unlikely.

Alexander of Modena would consider himself the King Claimant not just because of Francis of Modenas claim, but because of his mother's claim to the crown too. So even outside of the Jacobite line claim, there is the "Victorian" claim as well.

One of the reasons for allowing Victoria to marry Francis would be to try and bring the Jacobite claim (unpressed as it had been since the death of the Cardinal Duke) under "Hanoverian" control. It somewhat backfired.
 
I'm guessing formatting as such ...
