Who should I write a timeline on?

Who should I write a timeline on, with the person ruling Britain?

Someone mentioned the Valois and I immediately thought of Elizabeth I. With her being brought up it also had me thinking about other possibilities. One of them in the form of Erik XIV of Sweden. It might be a bit of a stretch though...

Vasa England?
 
Well, you mentioned Britain and with your other poll choices I assume you want to have the timeline a bit later. Just an idea that I thought would be interesting. Not sure if it would work considering that it was only in the 1520's that Sweden broke from the Kalmar Union and he wasn't necessarily the most sane fellow.

This is true. Another option could be Gustav Adolphus marrying a daughter of James I?

Christian II seems to have been normal early on from my research, the empire breaking must've broke him. Maybe the first monarch of Kalmar or a separate line of succession invaded during the war of the roses!

Now that would be interesting. As would seeing a Vasa England, Scotland etc. Would certainly remove certain elements of worry from Parliament's shoulders at least.
 
I know this has nothing to do with ANYTHING here, but I just had an idea. Pope Pius II or some other Pope after the fall of Constantinople planned to lead a Crusade himeslf to retake the city, but he died before he could do so. I know that's not England nor a dynasty ruling them but that's a pretty damn amazing timeline.

That it is, would that garner support? Or rather, enough to make a crusade count?

I wasn't really speaking on Christian II but more so on Erik XIV and the stability of Sweden during that time.

What could the English offer that others could not?

I believe it was considered otl, but was made null when Gustav declared war on Denmark.
 
I'll have to look further into it but Gustav II Adolf married for political reasons, mostly. Brandenburg was set up to inherit ducal Prussia and they were close to the Baltic coastline. Also, IIRC, a large dowry came with Maria Eleanora.

But I'll stop here since this is about England/Great Britain and not Sweden...

Aha alright. Though a poll on a continued Vasa Sweden would be interesting also.

But yeah, for you, in the period of the 17th century, who'd you want to see rule in England?
