Uh, sorry, I meant that there were English armies crushed, but England unconquered. I doubt the English would have sent an army there...

They had continental pocessions to worry about. And an alliance.

HUH? At its height - which was before Charlemagne came - it consisted of half of Netherlands and the north-north-western 1/4 of modern Germany.

Their height in this consisted of pretty much the entire Holy Roman Empire... this being shortly after the fall of the Hungarian Empire to the Mongols.

Somehow I have the feeling this might have partially come from "By A Single Decision"... At least some parts seem from there - a large Saxony, a massive Hungary... a PoD within a PoD? "What if Magyars didn't conquer Saxony?" :p

No... :p

Then why did they never even tried that in OTL? Inheritance seems more likely to me.

Because OTL's England's ruler didn't have something to be vengeful for...

Then what is it?

That's what you're supposed to guess. ;)

Does for me now.

No comment on my map yet? Because I happen to have a sequel...

Just a moment, completely forgot about it halfway through my earlier reply... :p
 
das: It seems to be something dealing with America, right? Because little seems to have changed in Europe, except maybe... Wait a sec...

Frech successful in Italian wars or something?
 
It's in the 1700s, because Britain still has Gibraltar. I think.

Were they supposed to lose it in OTL?

Something to do with the Seven Years War?

Nein.

Well, that one is close...
Frech successful in Italian wars or something?

HINT: and they didn't even need a Corsican to do it! No, that's not the PoD, just a detail in this world.
 
The Corsican was declared an Enemy of the People. Somehow, he disappeared - supposedly suicide - though someone EXTREMELLY similar was sighted as a Spanish civil official in Mexico City...
 
well I was about to say something about Abukir Bay when I saw Malta was in French hands. then I looked at America, so I don't know.
 
Isn't it easy?
 
Yes. :p A hint, it does have something to do with America.

Btw, NK, the obvious PoD for yours would be to make Charlemagne abandon wars with the Saxons. But that would probably change a lot, namely Svyatoslav would probably conquer Poland unless you make Saxony doubleplusstrong.

That's not it, you're looking a bit too far back.
 
The arrow that in OTL damaged Otto I's eye here crushed his eye, entered his brain and killed him?

No, you're still just about a hundred years too far back. :)
 
Barbarossa died in battle in Italy?
 
Does it have something to do with products of illegal sexual relationship? A certain product, to be more exact?

Yes, it does have to do with those certain products, but not in their creation. (it's too easy now).
 
Harold MkII confronted William the Bastard first. Won. But his army was too tired when it reached York, near which the epic battle with the Norwegians took place. The Norwegians won, creating an Anglo-Norwegian state; later, it conquered Denmark and destabilized Holy Roman Empire causing it to fall apart earlier. But out of the Empire's ashes, Saxony arose.
 
Not quite. The actual premise is simpler; Harold wins Hastings. Meanwhile he goes on an attempted vengeance conquest against Scandinavia, but has a hard time holding on to these pocessions. Later he would intermarry with the Swedish rulers, cementing his hold here.

Meanwhile, he allied with the French king and destroyed Normandy, but then had to deal with a papal excommunication. Hence, he and France established the Avignon papacy a few hundred years earlier and they marched on Italy and the semi-allied Holy Roman Empire. France conquered Northern Italy, while England took Hannover and Pommerania; the Holy Roman empire fell apart.

The status quo went on for a little while, when suddenly a revived Holy Roman Empire, allied with the Papacy and the Spanish kingdoms struck. However, their attacks ended in utter failiure, the Muslims advancing to destroy the Christian Spaniards while they were occupied, and the Holy Roman Empire was almost entirely annexed by Britain and a new vassal in Bohemia.

Meanwhile, the Magyars rose to prominence again, building an Empire that consisted of Croatia, Serbia, Hungary, Romania, and Austria.

Then Frederick Barbarossa, or his equivalent, rose in the great Saxon rebllion and established his own empire, which triggered the Hundred Years War, after which the Mongols invaded.

That's all from memory, though, so there's probably inconsistancies with my initial description.
