Talk:Tenth Crusade (Age of the Iron Cross)

I think you need to add a bit more man power to the Ottomans, and I believe that having the Knights Hospitallers/Knights if St.Joan, also join in would be a great way to tie in a holy order who fought in the original crusades and they would now be continuing the legacy of their order.

Also Arthur was a very active and athletic boy as when growing up, and since he didn't die his marriage with Catherine of Aragon would probably result in a son being born before the Crusade beginning and not Bloody Mary. This would have immense changes in the English royal family as their would be no Elizabeth I nor would a queen rule England keeping men in the line of succession. Whats more he would probably be like his name sake a great warrior and peace time king who was devout to God and the Pope and may even be named as Defender of the Faith?

Also the Hungarian King and the Wallachian Prince would most likely join forces as they had a common enemy in the Ottomans marching deep within the Balkans liberating the oppressed Christians who were under the the thumb of the Ottomans for decades. The Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian would also take part in this pushing south through modern day Austria, While the English French Spanish and Italians all come from the sea attacking Anatolia directly forcing the Ottomans to fight on two fronts. And if the Ottomans have control of Jerusalem at this time the English and French would try and take back the city from them, this is if the Ottomans have Jerusalem.

I don't know about the Mamluks getting involved but I do know that the Tartars would fight along side the Ottomans being a thorn in the side of the Hungarians and the Germans. Though the end of the Crusade would result in the re-founding of the Byzantine Empire or a Christian Greek Kingdom with the city of Constantine reclaimed from the Islamic Ottomans.

following the Crusade would be the destruction of the Turks or at the very least push them back to just Anatolia with no means of leaving with their navy destroyed and their army decimated the Mamluks could try and conquer them ending the Ottoman reign before it even reaches two hundred years of rule.
