My Idea goes like this:
TL;DR: The House of Stuart isn't succeeded by OTL King Charls I, and instead a series of early deaths create the basis for a strong parliament that by the end of 17th century has enough power to evade the civil war & glorious revolution.
- James VI King of Scots, becomes...
Sorry ,i didn't knew that. I just wanted to convey the message that the marriage to Lady Flora meant that the House of Stuart could convert to Protestantism when the right time comes.
Point of Divergence:
1745 – During the Jacobite uprising against the House of Hanover, Prince Charles Stuart encounters with Lady Flora MacDonald, granddaughter of the Chief of Clan Macdonald of Clanranald. They fall in love and after the eventual defeat of the uprising she follows him and...
1688 – King James II has a firstborn Son from his catholic wife; queen Mary of Modena – James Francis Edward; Prince of Wales and later in life also known as the Old Pretender.
1688 – The Glorious Revolution overthrows King James II from power and he is exiled to France.
1720 – Prince James...
Hello everyone!
This is a re-telling of the same idea i had published here some time ago. I decided to tell the story again, but this time, and since the original story was too much ASB, i decided to make it as a-political as possible, with no real change to OTL except that in this TL the...
Kellen Sullivan, I was thinking that with the Diplomatic Revolution of the mid 18th century, the ATL Duke of Guise could act as an Intermediary Between France and Austria, and Perhaps, sometime along the way, the descendants of the Duke of Guise would become a possible candidate for the Throne...
In OTL, Prince Charles Alexander of Lorraine, younger brother of HRE Francis, was married to Maria Anna of Austria (who died a year later after the marriage) and became the Governor-General of the Austrian Netherlands.

My question...
Well for me, overbearing is anyone who allows her/himsel to interfere so bluntly in the choice of wife like Princess Marie-Caroline did....
And as for the reason she left Edinburgh, the wikipedia article on her states (according to this book) that her housing in Regent Terrace wasn't for her...
I agree with you that Princess Marie-Caroline was quite overbearing as a mother, which is why I think it is Imperative for the creation of the TL that Marie Caroline was forced to settle on living in Turin as her home in exile because only the House of Savoy was willing to finance her high...
Because, the ATL Jean-Charles is known to be educated in Italy and has a very Liberal & Parliamentarian worldview... and Plus, giving him the throne would create a fusion between the legitimist claim that only the most senior agnatic bourbon heir can claim the throne, with the orleanist claim...
I had the Idea that in order for the French Monarchy to survive to the 21st Century, the thing that is of the utmost importance is to get rid of the division between the Orleanists and the Legitimists inside the monarchist camp. Now, In orther to do that, i thought that the best possible way for...
aw man you guys really know how take the wind out of my sails!!! I just want to create an ATL which has a restored Stuard to a Modern-day Scotland... can't you give a newbie some slack?
here's what i get about the SNP: their disdain to for everything English and London-based, could possibly trump everything else. So, the possibility of a legitimate male-line descendant of the House of Stuart, that moves back to Scotland in the 1920's (right after his benefactors where deposed...
