    WI: French victory at Poitiers (1356)

    On the topic of HYW battles going the wrong way for the English (i have made previous threads on Crécy and Agincourt)... Suppose that John II of France and his army manages to defeat and rout the English at the Battle of Poitiers, in 1356 AD. Either that, or the battle is avoided through...

    WI: Charles, The Wise, lives longer

    Charles V of France was king of his country between the years of 1364 and 1380. During his reign, France saw a reversal of its bad fortunes in the Hundred Years' War (called the Caroline Phase of the war), almost managing to beat the English out of France altogether. However, Charles died...

    Plantagenet Navarre in an alt HYW

    So, what would be the best/simplest way to achieve a Navarre under a Plantagenet (not necessarily the King or heir of England) while still generating an analogue of the Hundred Years War?
  4. WI: All of Charles VI of France's Sons Survive (or Leave Issue)

    By the all of the title, I mean the ones that actually lived past the age of 5. They can still die before Charles though, which, considering that Charles died in 1422 and was succeeded by his second youngest son, I don't think is all that far-fetched (all things considered). So, thus, we have...
  5. WI: Henry VI of England Born a Girl?

    As it says on the box, if Henry VI is born a girl (named Mary/Isabelle/Katherine), and Henry V still dies the next year, what happens next? What happens to England? I’m assuming that instead of an infant queen regnant, he’s succeeded by the adult duke of Bedford – given how England’s last ‘queen...

    Henry V doesn't die in 1422

    Let's just say Henry V never contracts dysentery. What happens next? How long would the Dual Monarchy of France and England last? effects on culture, politics, etc?

    The Dead Live: A Hundred Years' War Timeline
    Threadmarks: Update One: A Princely Miracle

    Hello everyone! I have been reading timelines for years, so I thought it was time to start contributing. So without much further ado I would like to present: The Dead Live: A Hundred Years' War Timeline A Princely Miracle Depiction of Edward of Angoulême's Recovery In September of...
  8. WI: Isabella of England as Countess of Flanders or Duchess of Brabant

    Was reading through another thread, when I got this idea: Edward III's eldest daughter, Isabella married relatively late in life for the day. However, Barbara Tuchman's book mentions a prior engagement to the count of Flanders, Louis (II) de Male. His wiki supports this, but points out that it...

    WI: french victory at Crécy (1346)

    The Battle of Crécy was one of the first major battles of the Hundred Years' War, fought in northeastern France. Edward III of England's army, composed of english soldiers and some german mercenaries, managed to defeat the numerically superior french army led by Philip VI. The battle saw the...
  10. WI France Wins Agincourt (English effects)

    What if Henry V died in the noted battle in 1415, and the French prevailed? How this affects the course of the conflict is relevant, but I'm especially interested here in how this affects the struggle for the English crown, and subsequently England itself. At the time of our noted battle, Henry...
  11. AHC and WI: No (Unified) France

    With no PoDs prior to Henry V's victory at Agnicourt (1415), how could the king(s) of England have held onto as much of France as possible (ideally including Brittany, Normandy, and Aquitaine), at least until 1515? Obviously, this means the King of France is now far weaker than OTL; what are the...
