List of monarchs I

[lordroel]

A thread from AH.com which i like, so it is now also here on Alternate Timelines Forum.

List of monarchs rules

1. Each poster get's one entry on the list and if possible must wait for at least one post by someone else before adding another entry.
2. Each entry must be logical, realistic (nothing involving Aliens, Magic, Time Travel, etc.), and with a footnote with information on their reign.
3. There can be no more than two active lists at any given time, splitting ONE list into TWO is allowed but MUST BE REALISTIC, and they have to be in the same timeline, so to speak.
4. Whoever finishes a list may start the next list, if they don't than after 24 hours everyone may begin a new list.
5. If the Original Poster of a list doesn't include a time limit of when the list ends, then the list HAS to continue to the present day or if the list fails due to the TL ending, or it isn't updated in three days time. WARNING: If you start something in the ancient era, like Ancient Egypt or Rome then for the sake of everyone else PLEASE set a timelimit, otherwise we will have things like Ramses XXXIII to deal with and keep track of.
6. Formatting: Date of Reign is bolded but left black. Monarch + House is bolded and colored, the color corresponds to the House in question. Footnotes are bolded, information is not. For example (using parentheses instead of brackets):
(B)1848 - 1916: (color)Franz Joseph (House of Habsburg-Lothringen)(/color)[1](/B)
Example post:
Kings of England
1485 - 1487: Henry VII (House of Tudor) [1]
1487 - 1535: Richard IV (House of York/Simnel) [2]
1535 - 1556: Richard V (House of York/Simnel) [3]
[1] Overthrew Richard III and established the brief 'House of Tudor' until the Yorkish Revolution of 1487 saw Henry's assassination and the restoration of the Yorks under 'Richard IV'.
[2] The figurehead of the Yorkish rebellion, suspected by many to be an imposter named Lambert Simnel (proven in the modern era through DNA testing). Never the less Richard IV was able to build up support in the restored Yorkish government and managed to escape being a puppet and ruled England in his own right, passing the crown to his son, Richard V.
[3] The reign of Richard V witnessed the rise of the 'Cranmerists', a radical branch of Protestantism that was persecuted by Richard V. Despite this a golden age of literature and the arts prospered in his reign. When the king died of the sweating sickness in 1556 he passed the crown to ____.
Now as you can see the blank space is for a name for the next poster to write, if you HAVE to include the heir in your post then do _____ <---- that for the name and gender.
Oh and advice on female monarchs, a woman doesn't have to mean that a dynasty ends, she could marry a cousin or her husband could be low-ranked enough that her successor keeps the dynastic name, or hell she could establish a line of female monarchs and the name passes with them. Be creative!

Let's begin the AT.com list of monarchs.

What if George Washington became Emperor?

Emperors and Empresses of the Imperial states of America

1789 - 1803: George I (House of Washington) [1]

[1] Hero of the Revolutionary War, George became the first monarch in the American continent after overthrowing British rule. Admired as an almost-legendary figure in American folklore by his supporters and seen as a tyrannical megalomaniac by those who wanted a republic style of government, George was a polarizing figure who created the strongest monarchy yet seen in the world with a very weak and ineffectual parliament. George, having no children, chose his step-grandson and adopted son George Washington Parke Custis as his heir upon his death at age 71.
