So I'm working on a TL where the assassination of Solomon of Brittany failed, so there isn't a civil war between contenders that would've greatly weakened the kingdom and Brittany remains independent. I'd like to make in sort that another country than Muscovy unites Russia and expands into...

Inspired by my current Burgundian Empress TL, I have decided to make that scenario a collaborative TL between myself, @RedKing, @Prince of Permsia, @Reyne and @EdwardRex. We won't be accepting new players. Now, onto the rules for this little game: The starting date is March 1452. Each post...

During his time in exile at the Breton court, Henry Tudor (later Henry VII), was considered as a possible suitor for Anne of Brittany, the heir presumptive of Brittany. Of course, this marriage would never come to fruition. But what if (for some reason) Francis II betroths Henry to Anne? What...

It is often assumed, that surviving Edward V or his brother Richard would marry Anne of Brittany and as result Anglo-Breton union would be estabilished (IMHO obvious French response would be war and military conquest of Brittany) What about other way around-Breton duke inherits English throne...

Prior to the Revolution, Brittany was not legally part of France, but considered a separate kingdom ruled in personal union. Say this arrangement is restored under the Congress of Vienna, and that following the February Revolution, Louis abdicates as King of France, but not of Brittany. This...

I've been toying with a TL idea for a few months now and I'm faced with a (big) dilemna. OTL, Conan III of Brittany had decided to reconcile the two rival branches of the ducal family (his own and the Penthièvres') and restore royalty by marrying his daughter Bertha to their cousin Alan of...

So what are the repercussions if Henry IV of England had sons and/or daughters with his second wife Joan of Navarre, dowager Duchess of Brittany?
