Bonnie Pope Henry

Henry Benedict Thomas Edward Maria Clement Francis Xavier Stuart, Cardinal Duke of York was the final true Jacobite claimant to the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland. Despite his father and brother's attempts to regain the throne Henry had no such ambition and acknowledged his claim only in word. Henry IX in one reality it was the church that claimed the final Stuart and he remains one of the longest servince cardinals in the Catholic Church's history.

Within this timeline I will explore what would have happened if Henry had in 1774 been elected Pope. The point of divergence takes place after Bonnie Prince Charlie's revolt and at a time where the power of the church is waining. The articles will take place in 1800 showing what 25 years of Henry's papacy has done to European politics and the age of Revolution.
