Yeah it can be easy to get lost in all the noise this thread can become. Asking fairly niche questions can also get few responses, as I have found a few times.It's rare that someone acknowledges me on this thread.

Well, assuming Margaret* does survive giving birth to twins (very iffy since she almost died giving birth to Henry) she'd probably be married off to an ally of the Yorks (William Herbert himself is possible). So chances are that if Henry still becomes King, Margaret is probably going to be already married, so she'll probably get her choice of husband if/when her present husband dies. If she isn't married then she might be married off as a proxy, probably James III or some continental Duke/Ruler.If Henry VII had a twin sister how would he deal with her once he became king?

I’d lean no, Mary had a lot of support and a solid arguement for her claim plus AIUI the Dudley were rather unpopular at the time. Plus Jane only married Guildford in May 1553, so there’s no time for her to fall pregnant and produce issue before Edward dies, unless he lives longer (which could butterfly her ascension away entirely).If Jane Grey had had issue with her husband would she keep the throne? @isabella
Twenty years on from the Crimean WarLet's suppose that Britain, under a Liberal majority, joins with Russia during the Russo-Turkic War of 1877. Well, not so much joins with Russia. More of an "enemy of my enemy is my friend." IOTL, Russia sought to regain Bessarabia and gain the Port of Batum. I'm wondering what sort of agreement Russia and Britain could reach in this war. I'm thinking Britian asks for full de jure independence of Egypt, leading to the British making Egypt a puppet about a decade early, but what would Britain, under a Liberal majority led by Gladstone, be comfortable giving to the Russians?
Why didn't they?They distinctly didn't do this in Ireland.
I think it's partly due to the difference in how those areas were perceived by the English at the time. Ireland was something still largely to be conquered and subjegated. While Wales was and had been a fairly important component in the nation as a whole for a fair chunk of change.Why didn't they?
The English reformation included giving mass in the vernacular, rather than Latin. To this end, they had the Bible and Book of Common Prayer translated into Welsh; therefore, the new Church was seen as a vehicle for Welsh cultural revival by some, and the Church made steady progress in the areas in theory most opposed to English dominance.
They distinctly didn't do this in Ireland.
So what if the Tudor conquest of Ireland involved lots of Irish language Bibles? And the Anglican Church promoted the use of Irish? Could the reformation be more successful in Ireland?
?wi : constatine and the next roman emperor stay christian, thus making europe remain mostly pagan.
As somebody that took a nearly decade long hiatus from this board, the culture has changed where people would enthusiastically speculate without a hint of any sources to folks not feeling comfortable leaving a response without academic fueled certainty that their presumptions are more than reasonable.Yeah it can be easy to get lost in all the noise this thread can become.
