    WI : Frederick I of Prussia and George I of Britain lives to 1730/1733

    So the question here comes from looking at the scheme from the Queen in Prussia Sophia Dorothea to marry her daughter Wilhelmina to her nephew Frederick and her son Frederick to her niece Amelia.

    Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

  6. Catholic Ducal Prussia

    Last Grand Master of Teutonic Order in Prussia, Albrecht Hohenzollern, converted to Lutheranism and secularised Prussian branch of the Order in 1525 and ruled the Duchy as vassal of his uncle Sigismund the Old, and then cousin Sigismund Augustus until 1568. Albrecht was ardent Lutheran and soon...
  7. AHC: Hohenzollern king of Poland

    So I know the Wettins ended up as kings of Poland for a time, but could the same happen to Brandenburg-Prussia? Conversion would probably be even less of an issue for the Prussians- as the Electors were Calvinist, as opposed to the majority-Lutheran Brandenburg territories, and after all Saxony...
