Talk:Legacy of Rome

I've just thought of something, LG. After the revolt which deposes the Bosonids, could the claimant seek France's help in regaining the throne? Weren't the Bosonids related to the Royal Family? If they accept, would it be in Otto's interests to intervene on behalf of Oberto and the Pope?

No, they really were not related. One member of the family - different branch than the one you're dealing with here, fairly far removed - was elected king of France for a while, but only because he had married a daughter of the last one, who had deposed the king before him (and the son of that king succeeded Rudolf). His children were not even considered for the role. His enemy, for all purposes, succeeded him to the throne, and this was a few years prior to the PoD. Lordganon (talk) 11:33, March 31, 2014 (UTC)

Besides that, would there be any benefits for the French to support Bosonid claim to the Italian throne? Would there be benefits for Otto I to support the Pope and Oberto?

On both counts, not really. Lordganon (talk) 13:41, April 5, 2014 (UTC)

So, a three way war for the Italian throne or HRE title is probably not feasible?

Pretty much. Lordganon (talk) 06:54, April 6, 2014 (UTC)

Oops. I didn't mean a three way more. But I'm pretty sure you got what I was asking anyway.

Ayup. Lordganon (talk) 00:00, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

Just out of curiousity, would a succesful conquest of Brittany by Charlemagne change history enough that the current POD is nullified, or would that be doable?

Canuck2012 (talk) 23:42, April 8, 2014 (UTC)Canuck2012

Would more or less nullify it, but the man never tried to do that, and had no reason to do so. Given the beatings his grandson and son got, however, he'd have either lost or took massive casualties to do it, had he tried. Lordganon (talk) 10:36, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Hmm. If Burgundy invaded Italy to put the Bosonids back in power and secure the title of Emperor, would the French or Germans intervene?

There's also something that I've been thinking about.

During the Crusades, the Dome of the Rock was temporarily converted into a church. Is there any possibilty that negotiations could share the building between Christians and Muslims? Could that be extended to Jews, probably later on?

Canuck2012 (talk) 23:12, April 11, 2014 (UTC)Canuck2012

No on all counts. Lordganon (talk) 10:29, April 13, 2014 (UTC)

Having Christian and Muslim access to that site would be a stretch, too, wouldn't it?

Is there any possibility for a Third Temple to be built around that area at some point?
