I'm busy with uni right now, but if I ever get time during the Christmas holidays I might consider starting (I'm notoriously bad at ending the TLs I start) an ATL on the Stuart dynasty of England. The two PODs are ones I've previously discussed in different forums, with some minor alterations:
POD 1: In 1660, James Stuart (OTL James II) dies of smallpox instead of his younger brother, Henry, Duke of Gloucester, a staunch Protestant. Henry marries Christine of Baden-Durlach, a niece of King Charles Gustav of Sweden. James' son by Anne Hyde, Charles (who IOTL died seven months old of smallpox) also survives and disputes whether or not he should succeed as king instead of his uncle. EDIT: New possible bride for Charles. Elisabeth Henriette of Hesse-Kassel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_Henriette_of_Hesse-Kassel)
POD 2: James II's son by Mary of Modena, James Edward Stuart (IOTL The Old Pretender), is captured during TTL's Glorious Revolution instead of his father, who escapes to France. The baby is crowned James III of England and VIII of Scotland, raised in the Anglican faith and marries Ulrika Eleanora of Sweden.
If I get the time, which would you rather I pick? If you don't like either POD, please post and suggest what you would rather see.
