I must admit, I’ve overlooked the possibility for this match before or if it’s even likely, but here it is. The 14th century in the Holy Roman Empire was sort of a see-sawing between the Wittelsbachs and the Luxemburgs. It saw its last gasp at the imperial election where Sigmund of Luxemburg...

Everyone knows that Henry VI's reign saw the rise of the house of York and the start of the Wars of the Roses. Unfortunately, Henry suffered from a tenuous mental equilibrium that he had inherited through his French mother. This meant that periods where the king was "unwell" occasioned the...

Couple of questions; a) Is it possible to avoid the War of the Roses? b) What would the long-reaching events be? I've just read Conn Igguldon's series on the situation, and of course he does embellish history somewhat, but I do wonder what might have happened if Henry V had not died when he...
