  1. What if: William, Count of Poitiers survives

    I wonder if Richard will still be given his mother's duchy in it's entirety if he becomes a third son. Henry alt the young King might get the nod as the second son. If their mother still wants the Duchy to go to her favorite you may have a civil war earlier

  2. Princess Charlotte weds Prince Charles

    from: http://www.englishmonarchs.co.uk/hanover_15.html I did a bit of reading about Charlotte's death and it sounds like a classic case of eclampsia. It's a condition in pregnancy (caused by the hormones that come from the placenta) that can cause end organ damage and ultimately lead to...

  3. Elizabeth Woodville as Regent

    Why don't you have EIV appoint his brother-in-law Anthony Woodville Regent? He's EW's brother. I don't see EW flying as Regent in England after the end of the Hundred Year's War and with memories of Margaret of Anjou still fresh. Unlike the French the English have no strong tradition of the...

  4. WI : King George VI has a healthy son in 1940s

    I'm not so sure about Princess Elizabeth marrying Prince Philip if she has a brother. In the OTL Prince Philip's uncle Louis Mountbatten played matchmaker when he introduced the two when Princess Elizabeth was 13 years old. By that time, she was already heiress of the UK. By all accounts...

  6. Isabella I of Castile and Alfonso V of Portugal

    Actually this marriage was set up to sideline Isabel. There were two heiresses to Castille. One was the King Enrique's half sister Isabel and the other his daughter Juana was might have been a bastard. Juana's mother Juana of Portugal set the match between Isabel and her brother Alfonso V of...

  7. King George I of England: 1483

    Perhaps you could have Elizabeth Woodville give birth to 5 girls (spread out those births over Edward's reign) and then become sterile. OR Edward and Elizabeth have 4 girls and 1 sickly boy who doesn't make it to his majority like Ferdinand and Isabella. Those options are more in line with...

  8. WI: Tudor Spain

    I would actually want to think that Catherine will be Queen Regnant of Castille and possible Aragon and Henry will be King of England. And they will be the other's consort. The precedent will be Catherine's parents of course. Catherine unlike her sister Juana has a much better chance of...

  9. WI: Edward IV Really Was a Bastard?

    I'm going to say that this is going to be helpful for the House of Lancaster for a couple of reasons, although I think they will still face the same issues in the 1450s and 1460s. 1. The Duke of York's earliest base were Cecily's brother and nephew, the Earls of Salisbury and Warwick. The...

  10. WI: Margaret of Anjou Has More Children

    I think it would be more realistic for them to stop having children at the time of the historic mental breakdown. They'd still be in a much better position than the OTL with so many children. The Duke of York is not going to be heir apparent for so long. It might even do wonders for Margaret...

  11. What if Henry II of England bequeaths his lands to John?

    Richard's wars were expensive but he had some redeeming qualities as a general. John on the other hand was pretty incompetent and rubbed almost everyone the wrong way, including his barons, allies, the Pope. He will probably be opposed by his mother Eleanor, who will likely back her...

  12. The Red Princess

    It was the War of the Roses. Many people had attainders against them when they took the throne. Bolingbroke aka Henry IV, then later Edward IV (probably both times), Henry VI (re-ademption), and finally Henry VII. If you take the throne you could reverse the attainder. In Warwick's case...

  13. Louis (VIII) of France maring Eleanor of Brittany in 1195

    I honestly think the French could get away with giving Brittany to any royal son. In the OTL during her captivity Eleanor was unable to press her claims to England AND Brittany. In her stead her younger half sister Alix was recognized as Duchess of Brittany.

  14. Margaret of Anjou marries Frederick III

    Hmm all of her sisters (Marie and Eleanor) are the right age. But they're Frenchwomen and I don't think they come from a suitably prestigious family for a King of England. Even Margaret of Anjou father called himself "King" but was very much solidly a Duke. She was a character on the tv...

  15. Margaret of Anjou marries Frederick III

    If Henry VI marries earlier and quickly produces a male heir (or preferably an heir and a spare and some daughters) his reign may be seen as much more stable… Some matches -There's no Burgundian match, since Philip the Good didn't have a daughter the right age, but his nieces the Cleves...

  16. Louis (VIII) of France maring Eleanor of Brittany in 1195

    The betrothal between Eleanor of Brittany and Phillippe Augustus' heir falling apart was probably a huge stroke of luck for the Plantagenet dynasty. Probably one of the big breaks that helped the dynasty hold onto England.

  17. Louis (VIII) of France maring Eleanor of Brittany in 1195

    The part of about the rightful heiress would be interesting to watch. After all we're only a couple of generations away from the anarchy. I don't know how many people will be thrilled about giving the crown of England to her husband. In the OTL, Eleanor was still defiant many years into...

  18. John II of France not captured

    This might be a bit random, but it might butterfly the formation of the Duchy of Burgundy as it came to be known. John II of France ended up bestowing the Duchy of Burgundy on his youngest son Philip and made him premiere peer of France for his bravery during the battle of Poitiers. Father and...

  19. Eleanor of Austria/Burgundy/Castile

    But Eleanor and Manuel were only married for 3 years, from 1518 to 1521 (the marriage ended with Manuel's death). 2 children in 3 years is pretty decent. Also Eleanor's daughter lived a relatively long life into her fifties. That's pretty close to the lifespan of Phllip the Handsome's...

  20. Eleanor of Austria/Burgundy/Castile

    I think Katherine having surviving children will help the Hapsburg gene pool. In the OTL, the Habsburgs mated primarily amongst the Spanish Hapsburgs (Charles' line), Austrian line (Ferdinand's) and the Aviz (Katherine's line) until they died out, and then they mainly mated amongst the Austrian...
