  1. Ecce renovatio!

    Rather than post a huge chunk of TL that goes centuries beyond the POD, only to get many entirely reasonable comments about potential holes or missed opportunities, this time, though I have an idea where this is going up to about 1350, at least as regards Byzantium and England, I am going to...

  2. Byzantium battles back

    POD: Manuel Komnenos listens to his more cautious advisors in 1176 and accepts the Seljuk terms, resulting in a treaty favorable to the Empire. The Emperor becomes more cautious in his old age – he turns 60 in 1178 – and seeks to preserve his gains for his son and raise him as a proper...

  3. Plantagenet France - mk. 2

    I decided to revisit my first ever TL, “Plantagenet France”. The new POD is that the campaign into Maine and Anjou gets the go-ahead in 1428 and Lord Salisbury leads the operation, which is a huge success, securing Angers in the first month of the campaign, the municipal leaders surrendering...

  4. United Kingdom of England & Burgundy

    Plantagenet Burgundy I am working on a new TL re: 15th century England. For a long time I have wished there was a way to have England win the 100 Years War and preserve the result. I even did a TL on it, my first contribution to this board. Alas, after much thought and constructive advice...

  5. a question re: early abolition of slavery in US

    I am thinking of doing a TL in which, at the Constitutional convention, the "abolitionist" party manages to get the rest to go along with a mandated nationwide gradual abolition of slavery and the illegalization of the African slave trade. I know this is a bit far-fetched but since slavery was...

  6. Napoleon dies in 1802

    I sure hope this has not been brought up already. What if Napoleon Bonaparte dies in the summer of 1802, after the signing of the Treaty of Amiens but before either he or Britain screw things up by refusing to implement certain articles of said treaty? One result I can think of right now...

  7. IE America

    I am working on a new TL; this one is a bit more involved than previous efforts. The double POD has its first part around 12,000 BC or so, and the second part around 2000 BC. I read somewhere recently that the Americas could have been settled by as few as 70 people originally. If this is...

  8. No Gunpowder Plot

    There have been threads about what if a more successful Gunpowder Plot, but I don't think there have been any that have asked the opposite. What if the Gunpowder Plot had never been hatched or otherwise never came to fruition?

  9. Yorkist victory at Wakefield - 1461

    New TL – what can I say; I like English history 1450-1525 or so. Anyway, the POD is that Richard, Duke of York, waits at Sandal Castle in 1460 for his reinforcements to arrive, thus making the battle of Wakefield, which now happens on January 2, 1461, a victory for the Yorkists. Richard...

  10. Henry IX Lives!!! aka a different Tudor dynasty

    Here’s another TL – I think this one might actually have legs. POD – in 1511, Henry IX, son of Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon, does not die in infancy but lives on to succeed his father in 1542 when the latter dies of a heart attack, stemming from his increasing obesity in his later...

  11. Huguenots in Louisiana

    In OTL 1698 there was a petition of 400 Huguenots living in the Carolinas who had fled France following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes (this happened in 1685) presented to Louis XIV, then king of France - the Huguenots wished to establish themselves in His Majesty's colony of Louisiana...

  12. Bunker Hill Goes Horribly Wrong

    Fizzled/Averted American Revolution The other ARW TL is not shaping up how I wanted and the points raised have been good ones. So I am going to start over in a new thread. I am going back to basics on this and will say up front my mission is to end up with a totally British North America -...

  13. 27 August 1776

    For those of you who have been reading my “Plantagenet France” thread, I am having a bit of writer’s block with that, so I came up with this. We’ll see how far it goes. POD – August 27, 1776: George Washington and his whole army are captured by the British under Admiral Richard, Lord Howe in...

  14. Plantagenet France

    This is my first attempt to write a TL, so please go easy on me. I should point out that I this TL is sort of loose with personalities and people. Where I knew the name and likely behavior of the person in question I used them as historical. Otherwise, for now, I made it up. I intend to revise...
