  1. WI: Clerical marriage in medieval England

    Today I stumbled across Robert II, Archbishop of Rouen and Count of Évreux. He died in 1037, when his great-nephew and suzerain William the Bastard, Duke of Normandy, was about six or seven. Robert was one of William's greatest political supporters and, curiously enough, a married man with...

  2. WI: Henry VIII married his daughter Mary off young

    In OTL, the same anxiety which spurred Henry VII on to six different marriages seems to have restrained him from marrying his children off in any great haste. While there were several betrothals at different intervals, including famously that between the then-Princess Mary and Charles V which...

  3. WI: Edward the Confessor names Fulk of Mantes his heir?

    The last de facto King of the House of Wessex, St Edward the Confessor, seems to have variously named as his heir his cousin once removed William of Normandy (who eventually triumphed) and his brother-in-law Harold Godwineson. The best genealogical claim belonged to his great-nephew, Edgar...

  5. WI: Marina Silva dies together with Eduardo Campos

    Eduardo Campos, a candidate in the coming Brazilian elections, died earlier today. I'm curious as to what would ensue if his likely vice, the - well, not popular, but well known - former candidate Marina Silva had boarded the plane and died with him.

  6. After Alexander: Two Chiliarchs Are Not Enough

  8. WI: Alix of Hesse becomes Queen consort of England

    Queen Victoria actively promoted a match between her grandson with Alix of Hesse, who spurned his advances in favour of the Tsarevich Nicky. How would history have unfolded diffrently if Alix had not visited her sister in Russia, allowing her feelings for Nicholas to cool and feelins for Prince...

  13. AHC/WI: Enduring Norse Greenland

    It seems the Little Ice Age pushed the Inuit south, resulting in the destruction of the Norse settlements on Greenland, which had hitherto enjoyed limited trade and exchange with the rest of Christendom. What if they had managed to fight off the Inuit, and what would be necessary for that to...

  14. WI: Henry VI is a girl?

    Catherine de Valois gives birth, and the child is a girl. I believe Lancastrian entails permitted for a female to inherit, but what happens in France? Is there any chance of her marrying the Dauphin, or Richard of York?

  15. WI: Empress Matilda has a surviving daughter by Henry V?

    What if, when the Emperor Henry V died in 1125, he left a living daughter by his wife Matilda of Normandy? What rights would this girl have to the Salian dynasty's domains? What rights would this girl have to the thrones of England and Normandy? How would this affect Matilda's remarriage...

  16. WI: Henry of Huntingdon dies young

    What if Henry of Huntingdon dies young, leaving King David of Scots with no successor besides his nieces Matilda the Empress and Matilda of Boulogne (wife of the usurper Stephen)? Could either of them potentially inherit his throne, and if so, how would this affect the war of succession in England?

  17. After Palma: Vikings of the Balearics

    Introduction In 1110 the Norwegian crusaders, some 60 galleys, were received warmly by the young Count Roger of Sicily. Setting off for the Holy Land, they were troubled by adverse winds and found themselves back on Sicilian soil. Troubled by reports of Almoravid stirring and resurgent piracy...

  19. Spanish Royal Bastards c.1500s

    Does anyone have in-depth information on the royal bastards of Spain during the 1500s? Ferdinand the Catholic, Philip I, Charles V and Philip II all had their fair share of women and (I believe) bastards. I'm having difficulty to uncover their bastard children and what was the general policy...
