  1. House of Palatinate-Simmern England & Scotland after James VI

    God help us then

  2. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage II

    Inspired by this thread James I, King of England & Ireland [1603-1625], King of Scots [as James VI, 1567-1625] (1566-1625) m: 1589 Anna of Denmark (1574-1619) Henry Frideric, Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall & Rothesay (1594-1612) Elizabeth II, Queen of England & Ireland [from 1625], Queen...

  3. House of Palatinate-Simmern England & Scotland after James VI

    Let's phrase this hypothetical Anglo-Swedish involvement another way. Sweden only got involved in 1630- which is significantly beyond the POD of Charles dying en route back from Spain (in 1623/1624). Sweden was only able to involve itself because France mediated a truce/treaty between Gustav...

  4. House of Palatinate-Simmern England & Scotland after James VI

    GA's so-called Scottish troops were actually raised in France by Lord Seton and others IIRC

  5. House of Palatinate-Simmern England & Scotland after James VI

    It's very hard to compare the situations. Leopold I ignored pretty much everyone's advice about allowing Prussia to be elevated to a kingdom. but it was either that or forking over the Piast inheritance in Silesia. Saxony-Poland is a matter of "no good options". The alternative was to have a...

  6. Josephine dies in 1798, Who does Napoleon marry?

    The kingdom of Italy wasn't a subsidiary title. It was an independent state that functioned in personal union with the Napoléonic Empire. Per the founding statutes, the kingdom was to part ways with the French empire when Napoléon died- passing to either his second son or (if he didn't have...

  7. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage II

    Louis XIV had already taken the actual principality of Orange, IIRC, so there'd be no need to distribute an "empty title"

  8. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage II

    agreed. Especially given that this is...oh...the future queen of England? Victoria's whole unmarried period lasted all of three years. While I could see a "near miss" the first time around (à la Princess Margaret with Peter), they're not going to risk a second one

  9. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage II

    uh...why- better still how- given female education of the period (compare what the Queen Mother had, for instance)- would any daughter of George V and Queen Mary turn out like Edward VIII?

  10. House of Palatinate-Simmern England & Scotland after James VI

    it would depend. OTL they made restitution to Karl Ludwig. TTL, Ferdinand III might settle the Palatinate on Karl Ludwig instead of inviting a foreign king to own land inside the empire (we're not talking about the lands that France and Sweden claimed for their own). He certainly won't allow a...

  11. House of Palatinate-Simmern England & Scotland after James VI

    wasn't he killed in a duel with a guy insulting his mother though?

  12. Josephine dies in 1798, Who does Napoleon marry?

    Joseph got the Neapolitan throne because he declined the Italian one, if he's king of Italy (he has no option to refuse TTL), then he never goes to Naples. @isabella can correct me but the presence of sons for Napoléon shakes up the whole line-up of the Bonaparte marriages: Hortense will not...

  13. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage II

    firstly, it's cute that you think Alexandra would be allowed to remain single until 1931 (when Blobel joined the Nazi party). She's the heiress to the British throne, she's marrying in the 1910s- 1920 is the latest. So unless she meets Blobel before then- in which case he won't become a Nazi...

  14. Josephine dies in 1798, Who does Napoleon marry?

    if things go as OTL, the boy will be heir to the kingdom of Italy. Even if Joseph accepts the offer of the Italian throne- he refused OTL because he hoped to be Napoléon's heir in France- Joseph has no son. But given that both his daughters married cousins OTL, I could see him pushing for a...

  15. WI/PC: Jacobites target the French Throne

    *cough* my Frankie Goes to the Hofburg has this *cough*

  16. No Scramble for Africa - State System

    IIRC, the last "king of the Kongo" was only deposed in the 19th century, but pretty much anything would be better than Léopold. It could be interesting to see a multi-polar Africa: Kongo and Rovzi both had Portuguese support/recognition (until they didn't). The Kongo even had papal...

  17. House of Palatinate-Simmern England & Scotland after James VI

    Interesting I can't quite remember now but I have a feeling those pushing for a naval engagement wanted to directly attack Spain. But if they go for the treasure fleet and succeed that's a win win. Agree that parliament won't meet in London but instead Oxford. The denial of tonnage and...

  18. House of Palatinate-Simmern England & Scotland after James VI

    Elizabeth becomes the heiress and then Queen. Henry Frederick doesn't die in a drowning. There will be enthusiasm for a naval adventure and maybe Elizabeth goes for it maybe she doesn't. But tensions over funding the war effort and general finances will be a big thing. James left a lot of debt...

  19. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage II

    Madame Royal FTW: Probably ASB but inspired by a recent convo with @The_Most_Happy . The POD being that Louis XVI-Antoinette see the sense in the original suggestion (think it was Fersen who suggested it) that they send their kids on ahead rather than all travelling separately (ICR why the plan...

  20. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage II

    in @ordinarylittleme 's defense, Bona did want her eldest daughter to be queen (she didn't particularly care about the others), she didn't particularly care which kingdom, so that could be the reason. And any of Isabella's daughters by the king of England would be a better match for Felipe...
