Title help for a Stuart TL

OK guys I think I'm gonna go with Apollinis et Dianae: A Story of Power, Magnificence and Glory. It fits really well with my (admittedly) Grandiose plans for England and Europe.

One other question though. I'm in the midst of writing the first couple of chapters and I'm not sure which way to go. Should I do a brief overview of Europe at the beginning of 1666, as an introduction to the era and to help set the stage? Or should I just dive into it and start in England? Personally I'm leaning to a brief overview but I want to get people's opinion on the matter.
 
I'd say a review of the year 1666 and before would be good for those of us who don't know it in and out, plus it's what you prefer and you can foreshadow important events. As for thread/chapter titles, maybe some John Milton or The Pilgrim's Progress quotes? Looking forward to seeing your first TL!

Thanks! That's what I was thinking of as well. I'm doing a small summery of each of the major European powers/regions. England, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, HRE/Habsburg Monarchy, Poland, Denmark and finally Sweden. I'll include other nations as I go, like Russia, the Ottoman Empire, and others.
 
Ok I am coming in this late but I do look forwardbto whatbyou will create. I do think a quick overview would be a good starting point and you can also use that to hint and forshadow events you come up in later chapters.

Thanks! I almost have the prologue and first chapter done. The prologue will go into brief summaries of the situations of each of the major nations and regions of Europe, like France or the Holy Roman Empire, with the first chapter diving into the actual story. Though I admit I'm a bit worried that the prologue is to detailed.

Well as a fan of History, I do not mind details. Post when you can and best of luck.:)

Again thanks. Actually I do need a bit of help. If anyone can give me a bit of an overview of the situation in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, that would be great. its the only country I have left to finish my prologue. After that I can post it on hopefully Friday.

I can not help, but why not start a new thread asking for that information. I know that there are other timelines with some good background, but how well that would be warped by events in those timelines...YMMV.
