It was uncommon but not unheard ofHuh, didn’t expect the Swedish King to personally go to England to court his would be wife. Was that common, especially when he would have had to travel over seas to do it?
You mean "back in Stockholm," right?preparations for the marriage back in London
Well if it holds yesThat marriage looks interesting specially a Britanno-Swedish alliance will be a power house.
The Tuscans in the 1600s were interesting people.......Also I think that the Medici will probably have a role in this TL although what it will be I am unsure.
Much like the 30 years war otl, it will have severe consequencesReally curious as to how this 20 year war will play out and how large the change will be in the world.
Thanks will editYou mean "back in Stockholm," right?
Good stuff.
O Neil will probably become a rather prolific general when the war hits and I honestly doubt he will survive it either due to age or just something happens to him in the war.any predictions?
O'Neil is too old to be a on field commander by 1612. Though yes Prince Henry just might become a general.O Neil will probably become a rather prolific general when the war hits and I honestly doubt he will survive it either due to age or just something happens to him in the war.
Also Prince Henry might be a rather militant person in case he becomes a general, much to his father's dismay.
Gregory XV actually saw little to no reason to interfere with marriage politics and let everyone do as they wished in that regardsIntetesting, surprised the pope agreed to the marriage of the Medici with Charles given his role otl in stopping a similar marriage for Henry
Unfortunately.........yeah.Damn. Good Queen Anne’s body was barely even cold in the ground before her daughter was married off to the Swedish traitors
Pope Paul did tho abd he was still pipe on 1620 no?Gregory XV actually saw little to no reason to interfere with marriage politics and let everyone do as they wished in that regards
sorry yeah Paul V. He was more or less alright with James VI until he started to persecute Catholics in Ireland from 1607.Pope Paul did tho abd he was still pipe on 1620 no?
Ahh okay abd of course given that janes has granted some tolerance for catholics that issue isn’t present here. Got you.sorry yeah Paul V. He was more or less alright with James VI until he started to persecute Catholics in Ireland from 1607.
Yeah more or less. It is much like a Bohemia before 1618 analogue with Ireland within the Kingdom has been granted religious autonomy and freedomAhh okay abd of course given that janes has granted some tolerance for catholics that issue isn’t present here. Got you.
comparatively the land given to the EIC is small, extremely small, however it is extremely strategic and a crucial first foothold in India, so yes, a good beginning for the EICWell looks like the East India Company has gotten more land and things seem to be going pretty well so far.
