  1. A Son of Aragon - Henry VIII's Catholic Heir

    There is a lot of history yet to come. I've always wanted to read a timeline without a Russia (or at least a balkanized / reduced version). It offers so many possibilities for Eastern Europe and Asia. But yes I agree with your assessment of the Romanovs. They will be the most "Eastern" of the...

    Threadmarks: #17 The Last Tsar 1565-1577

    The Last Tsar: 1565 - 1577 Ivan IV has been declared Grand Prince of Moscow in 1533 and nearly fifteen years took the title of Tsar. The early years of the young Ivan’s reign were relatively benign. He oversaw the revision and relative modernisation of the legal code - resulting in the Sudebnik...

    Just because they are down now - doesn't mean they will always be so.. Austria will indeed focus more on the HRE without the Turks at the backdoor. Central Europe will be very different ITTL. Russia next, then Austria. Then prep for the big war.

  4. A Son of Aragon - Henry VIII's Catholic Heir

    My understanding is that it was precisely because there were no male descendants of Sigismund II (plus the Russian threat) that forced the Lithuanians (and even then not all of them) to accept the Union. Here Sigismund does still make the effort it is just unsuccessful. It is obviously...

    He refused it in real life - but it was only a small minority of Lithuanian nobles who offered it to him. He does have two sons will cover Russia next. The Russians will have a tough time for the foreseeable future.

    Threadmarks: #16 Poland & Lithuania

    Unions Old and New: Poland and Lithuania (1540-1575) Sigismund II succeeded his father as King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania in 1548. Sigismund’s father, Sigismund I “The Old”, had reigned for over forty years overseeing the gradual cemention of royal power in both Poland and Lithuania...

    Thanks! Huh. I never knew that. You know what let's keep him alive. I might have some fun with that at some point. Next update will be on Poland/Lithuania hopefully today but if not tomorrow.

  8. A Son of Aragon - Henry VIII's Catholic Heir

    That's what I'm aiming for now going forward. The France one just needed a big write up to do it justice.

  9. A Son of Aragon - Henry VIII's Catholic Heir

    Thanks! Yes hopefully going to be on a weekly schedule now. Was going to do Austria next but might do Poland/Lithuania then swing back. Cheers. Been absolutely loving your Maps btw for yours!

    Thanks! Lots to come. Quite a bit. The big war is on the near horizon now.

  11. A Son of Aragon - Henry VIII's Catholic Heir

    Prottomans? Unfortunately the Ottomans will not be converting to any from of Christianity. Sorry;)

  12. A Son of Aragon - Henry VIII's Catholic Heir

    Well France is still majority Catholic but yes I'm going to be moving east now to Austria/Bohemia then Poland & Lithuania then Russia. So lots to come.

    Threadmarks: #15 The French Civil War 1564-1578

    The French Civil War (1564-1578) In 1547 Francis II succeeded his father Francis I as King of France, as his wife Marie Bourbon was crowned Queen. The stability of the House of Valois, joined as it was in marriage to their great domestic rivals the Bourbons, seemed beyond doubt. The country...

  14. WI: Napoleone di Buonaparte, Liberator of Spanish Italy

    I toyed with an idea like this way back in the day for the first draft of Disaster at Leuthen. The problem than as now with your scenario is Corsica lacks anywhere near the military capabilities to take on a major power like Spain or its Sicilian branch. So if Napoleon even tried to expand his...

    Well thats pretty definitive - glad to see!! I'll aim for a post in the next few days. France and Civil War

  16. A Son of Aragon - Henry VIII's Catholic Heir

    Not dead, just on hiatus. Will resume if there is interest.

  17. A Son of Aragon - Henry VIII's Catholic Heir

    Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to get the first part about France up by Saturday.

  18. A Son of Aragon - Henry VIII's Catholic Heir

    Yes I imagine it will. I will be hoping to create a more independent Scottish identity and future than in OTL. Thanks! And yes you do raise some of the points that I referred to in regards to France. I think this leaves open some really interesting possibilities for a very different England...

  19. A Son of Aragon - Henry VIII's Catholic Heir

    Thanks glad you are enjoying it! As Rarayn says there are threadmarks for navigation but I will also upload this to the "Finished Timelines" section once I finish the next part to make reading it easier. True there was an element of (in)convenience about it but stranger things have happened. I...

  20. A Son of Aragon - Henry VIII's Catholic Heir

    Thanks. There will be 'difficulties' down the line in England of course but no for now the rule of the Catholic Tudor(-Aviz) dynasty is secure for several generations. Do not fret Henry IX will leave a stable dynasty. Thanks. Yes. I will leave England now for a bit and move to France then...
