Odd little observation, courtesy of GenBio:

how would history be different if Henry VIII had known it was HIS contribution that was "failing" to produce sons?

I suppose that's not an interesting enough topic for the sort of speculative, alternate-universes historical fiction set, though. (They seem to require something involving Hitler).

I suppose at a minimum, we'd think of Luther as Protestant Reformation 1.0, rather than 2.0.

Have you read Eric Flint's 1632? Funny alternate history with West Virginians transplanted to Germany in the 30years war. (Though the German makes my teeth ache.)
