The Hua Dynasty.

American adventurer Fred T. Ward (founder of the Ever-Victorious Army) survives, learns Chinese, works with Tseng Kuo-fan to defeat the Tai Ping, becoming Tseng's right-hand man.

In the Second Opium War, Tseng and Ward defeat Britain, winning revocation of Britain's special privileges. They become heroes to patriotic Chinese.

Dowager Empress Tzu Hsi, in a fit of paranoia, tries to have them murdered; Ward himself defeats the assassins. Tseng and Ward march on Peking, and find that the Dowager Empress dead, along with the only remaining Imperial scion. Tseng is old, badly wounded by the assassins - and Ward is clearly favored by the gods. He has the Mandate of Heaven. His son by his Chinese wife will marry Tseng's granddaughter.

Ward becomes Emperor - the first of the Hua Dynasty.
 
Maybe this thread should merge with the Crusader Kings (I as well as II)-thread: I've had some seriously messed up dynasties in those games. How about those Ethiopian Kings of Denmark? :D
 
House of Bernadotte, Russia.

After the assassination of Alexander I and a coup, Bernadotte, who was to be the Swedish king IOTL, was invited to rule the Russian Empire.

Before leaving France, the Marshal had an Gentlemen's Agreement with Napoleon: Once he is the Tsar, all his actions serve Russian interest only, and he can not promise to remain friendly to France.

The new Tsar Ivan VII began a series of bureaucratic reforms, other than that, his rule was ultra-conservative.

The success of Bernadottian Russia was mostly attributed to the lack of foreign wars and foreign commitments. Few realises that this peace was a result of the Bernadottes' diplomacy. Russia allowed France to become the policeman of Europe, while sitting comfortably behind buffer states like Poland and Austria and quietly built up its industries.

The dynasty survived until today.
 
House of Habsburg-Tudor-Rurik

In my timeline a "A Change in Plans" (check it out on this forum) the Roman Empire reforms in the year 1610 under the Emperor Charles John. Charles John is the only son of Anastasia, the Byzantine empress (and tsarina of russia) of the House of Rurik and Holy Roman Emperor Henry VIII & IX of England (the son of HRE Philip I (OTL Philip II of Spain) and Mary I Of England) of the house of Habsburg-Tudor. The Byzantine Empire reforms when Emperor Charles V pushes the Ottomans out of Istanbul and instates his ally Ivan IV of Russia (a descendant of Byzantine emperors through his paternal grandmother) as the new Byzantine emperor where he takes the name John IX as emperor. He is succeeded by his son Theodore III who is then succeeded by his only child Anastasia, the mother of Charles John. Charles John dies in 1629, each half of the New Roman Empire becomes independent again as each of the emperor's two sons gains control of each half of the empire (his son Joseph becomes the Holy Roman--western Emperor and his son Peter becomes the Byzantine--eastern Emperor).
 
Is a Dutch Malaysian royal union possible?

How about a Dutch Malaysian royal house ?:cool: POD IS in 1641, King Charles I of England doesn't send his daughter Mary to marry William II of Orange. A second pod is that the Dutch return Malacca[Melaka] to the Sultanate of Johor instead of colonizing it and teach the Sultan some western ideas and he decides to send one of his daughters to marry William. [highly unlikely but for a try]
 
Cohen dynasty in China _ After leading an army to victory in several battles, and surviving a number of assassination attempts, Two-Gun Cohen is widely recognised as having received the Mandate of Heaven and subsequently manages not only to reunify most of China under his rule but to pass this empire on to a [half-Chinese] son.
