Holy Roman Empress as the wife of Leopold I?Princess Henrietta (b.1643)
I could see it, if the Spanish marriage proposed for him doesn’t occueHoly Roman Empress as the wife of Leopold I?
You're back on the old Charles James idea?Based off of something I'm working on:
Charles I of England, Scotland and Ireland (b.1600) m Henrietta Maria of France (b.1609) in 1625
Issue:
Charles James, Prince of Wales (b.1629)
James, Duke of York and Albany (b.1630)
Mary, Princess Royal (b.1631) m William II, Prince of Orange (b.1626) in 1641
Henry, Duke of Gloucester and Ross (b.1633) m Anne Hamilton, 3rd Duchess of Hamilton (b.1631) in 1650
Princess Elizabeth (b.1635) m Teodosio, Prince of Brazil (b.1635) in 1653
Prince Edward (b.1640)
Princess Henrietta (b.1643)

Aha I may well be. But with a far superior understanding of military tactics and the situation in the ground at the time.You're back on the old Charles James idea?![]()

William is Charlotte's Grandfather as well as William the Lion of Scotland, and George, well, that's for Buckingham, I'm afraid. I can't see Charles not being fond of Buckingham, Calvinist or not...Intriguing name choices, what leads to William abd George making an appearance?
Interesting and Tbf I think Buckingham and Charles having a good relationship depends on whether Buckingham actively tries to thaw his relationship with the man. Either through inviting him to a dinner at his residence at otl or joining Charles during his lessons about the church. If Charles is remaining Calvinist then the latter is out but the former may still happenWilliam is Charlotte's Grandfather as well as William the Lion of Scotland, and George, well, that's for Buckingham, I'm afraid.

Buckingham would be stupid not to try and befriend Charles. He's the heir, and favourites do need to please the heir, but I can change George's name to Henry or Edward if you preferInteresting and Tbf I think Buckingham and Charles having a good relationship depends on whether Buckingham actively tries to thaw his relationship with the man.

Crown Princess Margareta to become Queen of UK? Fetch me my smelling salts, I feel like passing out from joy!
What prevents Francis iii from getting England as well?Possible TL idea @VVD0D95 @EdwardRex @isabella
Francis II (1544-1560) m. 1558 Mary Queen of Scots (1542-1599)
1. Francis III of France & I of Scotland (1560-1610) m. 1574 Elisabeth of Austria (1554-1582) (a) m. 1582 Anna Juliana Gonzaga (b) with issue by both
2. Mary II of England (1560-1635) m. 1572 Sebastian I of Portugal (1554-1578) with female issue
Note: There is no Anglo-Portuguese union since Mary II has two daughters with Sebastian and the sisters each inherit one kingdom.
I know. But I just call her that per habit.Well, she wouldn't engage in a Swedish match as she has become Queen prior to her OTL marriage.
I think it's unlikely that young Affie would predecease his grandmother. His OTL death was due to syphilis-induced madness (potentially suicide)*. Syphilis he caught prowling around the Berlin brothels (according to Vicky's letters). As prince of Wales, what reason would he have to do this? Or the liberty to do it? Even his uncles (his dad was basically a miniature and even less talented Bertie) for all their tomcattery didn't get syphilis. The only person who got VD (and that's suspected not confirmed) is suspected to have been Eddy, Duke of Clarence.Alfred is briefly Prince of Wales etc, he is married to Grand Duchess Maria in Early 1874 and dies later that year but not before Maria falls pregnant. The son, Alfred, never marries and predeceases his grandmother
He already has France and Scotland and has his hands fullWhat prevents Francis iii from getting England as well?
