  1. REDUX: Place In The Sun: What If Italy Joined The Central Powers?

    So why does it say that the Police drew first blood if the protestors killed a policeman with a thrown brick before the shooting started? Is it just because the police had guns? Because that seems arbitrary when the thrown brick seems to have killed that policeman just fine without being a gun.

  2. A Storm Blows and Europe Changes: An Experiment With Enhanced Butterflies in 1170 Ireland
    Threadmarks: Prologue

    Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke was sailing to Ireland to claim the Overlordship of the Kingdom of Leinster granted to him by his Majesty, Henry II. That Henry II did not own Leinster to portion out was irrelevant to Richard's mind. He intended to seize the Norse-Gaelic port towns of Dublin...

  3. 1066: Year of the Conquest, and Beyond - Scandinavian England

    I'm actually surprised that Robert Guiscard hasn't shown up in Normandy with enough Veteran Troops from Southern Italy to become Regent. It's exactly the sort of power grab he would do. . .

  4. 1066: Year of the Conquest, and Beyond - Scandinavian England

    So I see a problem, Hadrada had with him in his invasion force Norse-Gaels from Dublin, along with Men from Sudreyjar and Mann. Hell, Magnus Haraldsson even tried to put a member of the Ui Imair Dynasty on the Throne of Dublin using a fleet from Norway and the Isles in 1058. The previously...

  5. 1066: Year of the Conquest, and Beyond - Scandinavian England

    I don't think that even if they did manage to beg an Army off of the Emperor, that they'd be facing opposition from Denmark. Sweyn II was consistently at odds with Hadrada over Harald continually trying to advance his claim to Denmark. They even fought a Major war over it not 4 years ago...

    Threadmarks: The Prussian Issue: 1035-1036

    In 1035 3 things happened in the first few months of the year. The first was the death of Cnut I, which brought Harald I to the throne of the North Sea Empire. The second was the death of Boleslaw the Brave's eldest son Bezprym in a monastery in Italy. The third was the death of Pomeso, a great...

    I'm thinking of continuing this, if people are interested. . .

    Threadmarks: Italy: 1025-1035

    By the Time of Robert the Magnificient's consolidation of most of Southern Italy in 1025, Pope John XIX had gone from openly welcoming the sight of Normans defeating the Byzantines in Italy to secretly conspiring against them. The swift destruction of the Status Quo in Southern Italy and the...

    Threadmarks: Cnut I: 1020-1035

    With his Suzeranity over his North Sea Empire secured, Cnut I began the process of ruling his vast territory. In 1020 he conducted a Census of all of his Empire's lands which took 2 years to complete and helped him to reform the tax system, which in many places in England and Norway was...

    Threadmarks: Robert of Normandy: 1020-1025

    Upon Arriving in Amalfi, Robert of Normandy had around 3,000 Men, all supporters of his that went with him into Exile from Normandy. The Duke of Amalfi, a Byzantine Vassal named Sergius II, had not expected the Ships to be carrying so many Soldiers and was unprepared for the Influx of Norman...

  14. AHC- More San Marinos and Liechtensteins

    If Corsica could have staved off French Anexation in 1767 it's possible that it might have remained independent to this day. After all it was independent with British Backing for the Majority of the 7 years war. If that Backing had stuck we might see an independent Corsica.

  15. A New Age: An Alternate History of the 11th Century and Beyond

    This is a side project I'm working on. I have plans going all the way to the Mongol Invasion of Russia currently, but the main Idea is that due to a different establishment of Cnut I's North Sea Empire, More Normans head to Southern Italy and eventually go on crusade. There's other stuff too...

    In 1016 AD, Edmund Ironsides was defeated at Assandun and forced to cede the Majority of his Kingdom to Cnut I of Denmark and Norway with the understanding that the first of either of them to die would Inherit the rest of England. As it happened, Edmund would die just one month Later and Cnut...

  19. Poland Stands with Czechoslovakia version 2.0

    Except that development started earlier than iotl. There was an arms race that spurred on new designs. Things are anywhere from 1-3 years ahead of schedule depending on country and piece of equipment. Rearmament started earlier as well. As to Speer, say what you will about his personality, but...

    The United States in 1936 was just starting to claw its way out of the Depression caused by the 1930 stock market collapse.
