Say Philip the Good and Isabella of Portugal had one more surviving child, a son (John) born in 1435. How would his existence affect history? Assume, that he had good relations with older brother (so there is no usual for House of Valois family strife there). House of Valois-Burgundy ruled over...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_I,_Countess_of_Auvergne What if Joan of Burgundy outlives her brother and marries Philip the Bold instead of her sister in law, who would be the best match for Margaret of Male, would Charles IV(Bohemia) consider Margaret of Male to be his 3rd bride instead of...

Between the Deutsch and Français The Usurpation of the Inheritance Philip II, the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Castile died suddenly at Burgos, apparently of typhoid fever, on 25 September 1506, although a poisoning (assassination) was widely spoken of at the time, and is what his wife...

Alright, so let's assume that Charles, duke of Burgundy and third wife, Margaret of York, manage to have one child, a son in 1470/1471 (Charles? Philippe?); half-sister, Marie still marries Maximilian of Austria (although possibly earlier) simply just to keep butterflies to a minimum. Charles...

The fateful ride In 1482, a falcon hunt in the woods near Wijnendale Castle was organised by Adolph of Cleves, Lord of Ravenstein , who lived in the castle. Mary loved riding and was hunting with Maximilian and knights of the Court when her husband’s horse tripped, threw him in a ditch, and...

What the title says. I can't remember when exactly the marriage idea was proposed, but what if Marie were to marry Philipp of the Palatinate? Would he (with his territories near Marie's) be in a better position than Maximilian to defend them? How might this affect the future of the Burgundian...

Sunset of Austria Mary of Burgundy On September 2, 1481, Mary of Burgundy would give birth to another daughter named Isabella. On 1482, a falcon hunt in the woods near Wijnendale Castle was organised by Adolph of Cleves, Lord of Ravenstein, who lived in the castle. Mary loved riding and was...

Could the Netherlands have been formed as a united realm a few centuries earlier?

Assume that Charles, The Bold, Duke of Burgundy, is more smart than bold, and manages to successfully carve out an independent kingdom or realm for himself at the expense of France and the Holy Roman Empire in the 1470's. Assume that this state holds the territories of all the Netherlands...

So what if to smooth things over even more between the Habsburgs & William the rich (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William,_Duke_of_Jülich-Cleves-Berg), someone insists that Amalia of Cleves (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amalia_of_Cleves) weds Charles V. I know Charles had a deep love for his...

The premise is simple. Rudolf already had an older brother who had died in infancy (Ferdinand b.1551, d.1552), so if Rudolf were to die young - or at least before his dad does - how would this affect the Habsburg control of the Holy Roman Empire? Rudolf left one hell of a power vacuum according...
