With both Castile and Aragon trying to divide Navarre between themselves since the XII. century, is there any way, without pulling some ASB, to let Navarre make it into the 1600s? It doesn't matter if they're conquered afterwards by another power. By butterflying away the losses of Gipuzkoa and...

We have several TLs with surviving Miguel da Paz. I wonder what would happen if only child of Manuel of Portugal and Isabella of Castile is born as girl (propably also named Isabella)? First scenario (that one is easy): both daughter and mother survives, but Isabella and Manuel have no more...

WI John II Aviz and Eleanor of Viseu besides son Afonso has also daughter (Joanna, born in 1480)? Say death of Afonso is not butterflied away. So after death of his only son, John still have a daughter to inherit the throne. Propably alongside bethrotal of Afonso and Isabel of Castile, Joanna of...

Since Fernando displayed interest in marrying either, let's say Isabel dies before they're wed (maybe around the same time as her brother, maybe she's killed en route to wed Fernando, either way, she's making like a doornail - my reason for this is simple: no power on earth will make her wed...

With the death of Charles II of Spain in 1700, both the Bourbons and the Hapsburgs wanted control of Spain, and fought the War of Spanish Succession over it. What circumstances in that war could bring about the situation above? Is it even a possible settlement, or would each side want all of...

The Iberian Wedding between The Crown of Castile and The Crown of Aragon (Aragon and Naples) unified Iberia and practically made Spain the super power it was. Without this marriage, the course of history would have been significantly changed. Without a unified Iberia, would Aragon conquer...

The Fall of Granada (thus completing the Reconquista of the Iberian peninsula) and the Fall of Constantinople (thus ending the Byzantine Empire and cementing the Ottomans as a superpower of their day) were two of the most significant events of the 15th century. However... 1) With a POD no...

Queen Berengaria was the eldest daughter of Alfonso VIII of Castile and Eleanor of England. Originally she was married to Konrad II, Duke of Swabia, but the marriage was later broken (according to wiki, Berengaria was influenced by third parties - like Eleanor of Aquitaine) and Berengaria...

Chapter One In 1134, King Alfonso VII of León and Castile became a widower. The 29-year-old monarch had been expecting the birth of his first child. Unfortunately, his Queen, Berenguela of Barcelona, suffered from complications and gave birth to a stillborn son shortly before passing away...

What if John of Gaunt and his second wife, Constance of Castile, had a male heir sometime around the 1370's? Would this heir end up having a claim to the castilian throne? If so, then could he succeed in getting it and estabilishing a lancastrian dynasty in the country, similarly to what his...

So I recently found about a Succession Pact, that may have been agreed upon in 1105, between Count Raymund of Galicia and his cousin, Count Henry of Portucale. On it they decided on how to deal with the partition of lands after the death of Alfonso VI of Leon. Raymund would become King of...

Suppose that Afonso I of Portugal loses the Battle of São Marmede (1128 AD) and, thus, never forms Portugal as an independent country. How could this affect the makeup of the iberian christian kingdoms? Would Castile and León remain separate?

It all began in 1086 when Yusuf ibn Tashfin was invited by the Muslim taifa princes of Al-Andalus in the Iberian Peninsula to defend their territories from the encroachment of Alfonso IV, King of León and Castile. In that year, Yusuf ibn Tashfin crossed the Strait of Gibraltar to Algecias, and...

So, finally, this TL will see the light of the day... I would like to give special thanks to @Karolus Rex and @General Ripper Long story short it is a TL about a union between Portugal and Leon, there are multiple PODs the first is the birth of a son to João Anes de Lima, the second is the...

Something I've seen a thread on twice now is the idea of Edward of Westminster, Prince of Wales, marrying Isabel I, Queen of Castile. Would this have been possible? Or even plausible? And what might the effects of said match be on the world? No Catholic monarchs, for one (the idea of Fernando V...
