Horse has well and truly bolted as far as expelling the Anglo-Saxons from Britain by that point. Even subjugating them probably a long shot. Best chance is probably some sort of Wessex-screw - probably some sort of succession dispute, of which there were plenty IOTL but they weren't...

And Æthelflaed's dad and sister literally have 'Ælf' as part of their names.

Is that correct? I would've thought the third shares in question would have gone to each of Worcester's sisters/their descendants as co-heirs. Sorry for nitpicking insufferably. Really enjoying the TL.

Also probably still some Godwinsons about. Unsure how much headway they'd be able to make given the Anglo-Saxon aristocracy has been gutted. I suppose Edgar could call on his brother-in-law in Scotland? Does the French king have the power to enforce that? In any case, aren't there other...

What has become of Warwick's brother Montagu - presumably he followed his brother and stayed loyal to Edward ITTL? However, there might be some cause for tension in the future if the implication here is that Edward is going to claim the entire Warwick inheritance: A lot of Warwick's northern...

I mean, not sure someone who'd been on the throne for ~2 years, had already faced one significant rebellion, and was widely regarded as a usurper counts as ''an invincible dynasty.''

I mean, sure, but the characters don't necessarily know that - thought from Edward's POV there might have been some benefit in getting Margaret (and her vast lands) in the hands of an adult brother relatively soon after Towton, rather than waiting a few years for George to come of age.

Thought you had something in store for Margaret Beaufort when you had Henry Stafford die at Towton, but would have picked her for Edmund rather than George. How does Joanna feel about her marriage? Are her brothers all attainted or in exile (did the eldest not die at Towton ITTL?)?

Meant to read the first version of this but never got around to it. Excited to be in on the ground floor of this version. Different casualty list for Towton caught my eye.

Any possibility of sinicised descendants of Yazdegerd being reinstalled in (part of?) Iran with Tang backing?

I mean, I agree that that was definitely the case IOTL and most of the British higher ups in China came to a quick and firm negative opinion of the Taiping. But there has to have been some catalyst ITTL for them to sack Beijing - a thing the West surely knows will severely weaken (and also piss...

Major prestige and legitimacy hit to the Qing, which is significant given the number of rebellions they were facing. Assuming the British haven't just sacked Beijing for a laugh, there was probably something major to precipitate it - and this might mean it takes a bit longer for peace to be...

Looking forward to the adventures of Lord Man.

What becomes of the Carolingian dynasty itself, suffering such a catastrophe only a few decades after Pepin's usurpation of the Merovingians? Is this a fatal blow to their continued rule? Charlemagne's kids are infants. There are some subsidiary (and illegitimate) adult members of the dynasty...

The Lennox Stewarts and the Hamiltons were rivals, with both claiming to be next in line for the throne in the event of the royal Stewarts going extinct. Both derived their claim from Mary, a daughter of James II, who married James, 1st Lord Hamilton, and had two kids (who matter for the sake...
