    France is too busy getting pommeled by the English. Hungary is getting really chummy with Sicily.Aragon maybe? My big question is when are they going to learn?

    I’m interested in whether the Patriarch of Rome does see that all his attempts to defend the petty Latin feudatories were pointless and actually lead to a realistic compromise. If they do that, a split with Moscow is almost certain.

    Go the Louis XIV route. Anyone who wishes to become a new priest/monk/nun must swear to uphold the idea that Hesychasm is false.Ignore the people who are already there.

    Trying to get rid of monks would be very nasty optics wise. These are peaceful,’defenceless’ men of god even if their beliefs are false. I think the ‘dumb’ and most reliable way to win would be to slowly appoint anti-hesychast bishops and priests in the newly conquered lands after natural...

    Just one now inconsequential noble asking the Ottomans for help. The rest of the Serbian nobles who still have land are probably too busy fighting amongst themselves. Ironic that the Ottomans were the only ones who took the Lascarid Empire seriously while everyone including the small fries like...

    We were having a joke about the pope being a mere bishop of Rome when in reality the bishop of Rome is recognised as at least having jurisdiction over western Europe even under Orthodox beliefs.

    Same status as the bishop of Rome even by orthodox beliefs. He’s just first amongst equals. Used to be the case that the pope was first amongst equals before he went rogue and declared supremacy over all the others, including other patriarchs……

    Just a bishop like that of Rome.

    Do they scknowledge the bishop of Constantinople as anything other than just a bishop?

    That’s not really true. That’s OTL, and Louis has three daughters IOTL. There’s no telling that the oldest(Catherine) who is still alive at the moment is even going to die as a child. IOTL, after Catherine died, Louis didn’t even originally planned to have Hedwig be the Queen of Poland and marry...

    I am not really sure why people are so obsessed with the Viscontis for the possibility of gaining Milan generations down the line when you have Louis the Great’s daughters, who are actual heiresses. Young Theodore is around the same age as his daughters and a marriage to Louis’ daughters would...

    The marriages of Theodore’s oldest sisters have been stabilisation focused, with an aim to bribe the ‘dynatoi’ of the realm. Perhaps the next marriages should be focused on security external allies like actual kings? Who got the second sister btw?

    Why not keep going? A Roman Britain TL:

    Septimius Severus and Constantius I:We tried to keep going……

    It had already happened. The Philanthropenos clan(family of Alexandros I’s wife)…..who is now arguably the most influential family after the Lascarids. Didn’t happen with the Palaiologos and Angevins for very good reasons while the House of Evreuse have plenty of land at least for this generation.

    Phocaea should be easily defended. Place is on a peninsula and could be supplied freely from the sea.

    And your point is? Somehow it’s disrespectful to point out facts to someone who is obviously wrong and kept on making things up to criticise the story despite the whole thread pointing out where he was wrong REPEATEDLY ?This isn’t the first time this fellow has been making claims like Basileus...

    WI/PC: Jacobites target the French Throne

    Almost impossible except through the Napoleon route. Even the Orleans route is impossible because the Orleans already exists as the proponent of liberal ideals.Now, a Stuart Napoleon would be interesting.

    Not really. Louis gave Naples away to a distant relative. Eventually, the Hungarians wouldn't care about what happens in said kingdom. Brilliant summary. Somehow the rulers of the Roman Empire became mere kings after Heraclius. BRILLIANT! I would presume that you are a PHD holder of East Roman...

    And what DID the marriage ACTUALLY bring? Don't just point at the map. Did it bring strong armies to help Edward III win the Hundred Years' War? Nope. Did it actually bring any favourable commercial treaties? Nope. Most marriages don't bring anything. Unlike Philippa of Hainaut, this marriage...

    What was that for? Royal marriages doesn’t always bring much benefits. Like what did the marriage of Edward III to Philippa of Hainaut bring beyond her initial dowry anyway? What does all of it have to do with what was being discussed anyway? I mean not really?It’s not that they can’t step up...
