If Attila wins at Chalons, then it would depend on what Attlia's aims are as to what happens next. If Attila plans on setting himself up as some kind of ruler in the Western Empire, or if he plans on future raids on Gaul, then I think his next step would be at attack the Visigoths in Aquitaine...
Beyond the zero benefit that England gets out of the Ivan-Elizabeth match, there is the zero benefit that Russia gets out of the match to consider. Ivan was dealing with a series of threats, both internal and external, to his control of the realm. Marrying a bastard foreigner whose kingdom is...
Princess Elizabeth was also rather unconvinced by the plan. In London, Christmas quickly descended into a violent struggle at court between herself and Northumberland, who was attempting to persuade the King to bastardize his sister in favour of his cousin, Northumberland’s daughter-in-law, Jane...
There were plots, but it appears the Mary was committed to staying in England. Her religion was ignored because to challenge Mary's private Catholicism would force a public showdown between Edward VI's radical Protestantism and the more moderate forces.
I think it is particularly...
Mary was heir to the throne by Henry VIII's Third Succession Act, which at that time was the law of the land. Though Mary had stormy relations with her younger brother, up to and until Edward VI had a living child Mary was the legal and popular successor to Edward VI. She rather easily overthrew...

The focus on whom he will marry is sort of tangential to the rest of his reign isn't it? Whether foreign or domestic (and I think foreign is certainly the way he will go- he is the third king of a dynasty that has passably survived its first regency- plus he is a protestant- so I would argue he...
1. Edward VI would probably move to marry a French princess, whether Elizabeth or another. The Hapsburg are going to be seen as the major threat to the English realm. I don't know if he will be able to produce an heir so quickly, since he was sick for so long. Until he has an heir I think he...
Berri reconciled with his brother in 1469, and though that reconciliation may not have lasted, I'm not sure what could have been done to save Burgundy. Burgundy lost a series of battles, starting with the Battle of Grandson, in 1476, and even without his death at Nancy would have suffered a...
Berri would probably be contesting the regency with sister Anne of France/the Duke of Bourbon and the Duke of Orleans. If Berri living is the POD and Charles the Bold dies on time, then in 1483 Berri would appear the best positioned to seize control of the regency.
So the POD is that Berry...
There would have to be formal reforms of the Church's governing structure to allow this to become the norm. Some kind of "Golden Bull" for the Roman Church if you will.
He was a Latin-rite Cardinal who had been born in the Byzantine Empire, and who accepted the Latin-rite Church when John VIII Palaeologus negotiated a reconciliation. His acceptance was resented in Greece, and he moved permanently to Italy.
His support of humanist learners was extensive OTL...
Died when he rebelled against his brothers, and was married to one of the Neville sisters by his older brother in order to keep Richard III and Clarence at loogerheads (it seems to me).
Dead, and I don't think Louis XI would want that man anywhere close to controlling Burgundy.
I like it. I...
Edward V, one of the Princes of the Tower, was engaged to Anne of Brittany in 1480. The engagement was ended when Edward V was deposed by his uncle Richard III. The POD of a longer-lived Charles the Bold isn't cause for Edward VI to live longer than OTL, but if he does, even two years longer...
I think the POD for Mary of Burgundy not marrying Maximilian has to be in 1477, when Charles the Bold died. A longer-lived Charles the Bold would be quite interesting, and is the subject of quite a few timelines. For the purposes of this scenario Charles the Bold doesn't get a crown from...
