hey, all. i just got back into writing up parts of my ASB ATL and have been working on British history most recently. one thing that i decided a long time ago was that one difference in British history here would be that the Tudor dynasty lasts longer than IOTL, starting earlier and ending much later. i'd like to know what everyone thinks would be the best direction to go in from what i have so far. here's the gist of Tudor history:

  • Edmund IV (1468 - 1483): the War of the Roses ends earlier when Edmund Tudor of Hadham leads the last of the Lancastrian men to defeat Richard III and becomes the first Tudor king
  • Henry VII (1483 - 1509)
  • Henry VIII (1509 - 1547)
  • Edward VI (1547 - 1553)
  • Mary I (1553 - 1558)
  • Elizabeth I (1558 - 1603): has a son out of wedlock with Robert Dudley, the Duke of Leicester, who continues the Tudor dynasty (though technically the Tudor line ends here and the ruling house becomes Dudley-Tudor*)
  • Henry IX (1603 - 1643): was raised in secret to preserve Elizabeth I's image during her life and took the throne as her admittedly illegitimate heir; reigned during the early colonial period, and OTL Jamestown is consequently called "Tudorstown" instead
  • Robert I (1643 - 1665): this would be the king who rules during the Civil War
*Dudley-Tudor was partly chosen for aesthetics because i wanted the Tudors to continue in spirit, though logically it may just be "House of Dudley" rather than "Dudley-Tudor". w/e :rolleyes:



one thing i want to explore is the possibility of a Royalist victory in the English Civil War and what could happen later on as a result of that, as well as any other major changes which could take place with a persisting Tudor dynasty and when it would most likely end (past the Civil War; i kinda want the Tudors to continue for a while)
