  1. The Pale and the Purple Rose

    oh? the irony being that Liz herself was fond of Malmesy wine, hence why Clarence's drowning in it was blamed on her for its usage (rather than Edward IV)

  2. Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    a random idea I had: but what if the sperms that produced Marechal de Saxe and Friedrich Augustus II of Saxony had swapped. Augustus the Strong's son and heir is a man with similar military skills to his half-brother, while his bastard is (per Friedrich the Great's description) "the sort of man...

  3. The Pale and the Purple Rose

    because we're already at February/March 1472, Margaret is born in April 1472, and if Liz was in sanctuary, that meant no sleepovers. Even if Edward was her husband. Plus, the conception of OTL Maggie would be in the second week of July 1471 (assuming she was full-term) when Edward IV was up...

  4. The Pale and the Purple Rose

    thank you. While Margaret of York (Edward IV's daughter) is butterflied, currently my plan is that their kids will be born on the OTL schedule (mostly because I'm too lazy to change it) figure the accusation of witchcraft could probably be levelled at both stock brokers and psychologists...

  5. Consequences of No Restoration of the French Parlements?

    it didn't help that the Americans also renegged on the deal to pay back the French loans

  7. Consequences of No Restoration of the French Parlements?

    What it says on the tin. Louis XVI made the "mistake" at the outset of his reign of restoring the French provincial parlements. After the praise which his grandfather had received for finally abolishing them just a few short years earlier, this was very much a regressive move. My question is...

  8. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage II

    Karl only earmarked it for Felipe when the marriage to Mary came up. If Karl himself marries Mary, their kid will get it

  9. WI Napoléon II: Bourbon Hostage?

    Oui How true the rumor is, IDK, but at/after the Congress of Vienna Léopold reportedly boasted that he had good reason to believe he was "better" than the duke of Wellington, since while Art had only bedded Nappy's mistress and beaten Nappy on the battlefield, he (Léopold) was u equalled as the...

  11. WI Napoléon II: Bourbon Hostage?

    he definitely is. Whether that will be enough though... even his contemporaries admitted that. Per a contemporary (almost think it was Constant) Napoléon's marshalls were more terrified of Louis XVIII than they were of the emperor

    duly noted

  15. Frankie Goes to the Hofburg, or Napoléon II, Regent of Austria?

    more and more them kidnapping Helene has it's appeal

  16. WI Napoléon II: Bourbon Hostage?

    I'm curious as to how the Bourbons having Frankie would affect their decisions regarding the rest of the Bonapartes. I feel like Murat-Louis XVIII has already been discussed at length. But there are still Elisa (currently at Montpellier), Joseph (whose just bought the chateau de Prangins)...

  17. WI Napoléon II: Bourbon Hostage?

    ah. And what would be happening twice?

  18. WI Napoléon II: Bourbon Hostage?

    two nickels?

  19. Frankie Goes to the Hofburg, or Napoléon II, Regent of Austria?

    I feel like Henri and Élisabeth Mikhailovna would probably be keeping their fingers crossed that it's Helene of Mecklembourg. And she ends up following in Jane Digby's footsteps and becoming queen of the banditti

  20. Frankie Goes to the Hofburg, or Napoléon II, Regent of Austria?

    any suggestions for a victim?
