My family has spent centuries marrying into an alternative claimant to the Grand Duke of Tuscany who did not inherit through Ferdinando I. We were planning to use this as an excuse to invade Italy and put the scion of our own dynasty on the throne and establish ourselves as royalty in the annals of history.
Unfortunately, this + the unification of Italy may have irredeemably foiled our plan.
Not sure what to do now, should I find a wife with a better claim?

- CoastalCoder 4mo agoNot sure, but I would 100% buy a copy of your family cookbook. Just imagine the titles you could use.
- throwup238 4mo agoUnfortunately most of the recipes call for “tears of a noble bloodline.”
- Apocryphon 4mo agoYou could marry your claim to an ideological framework upholding the Divine Right of Kings and traditionalist conservatism, causing it to live for centuries longer in the form of monarchy enthusiast cranks.
- twothreeone 4mo agoJust fund your own group of grave diggers with PhDs and an attached museum.
- satiric 4mo agoNah, ditch the wife. Become a cardinal in the Catholic church, then get elected pope. From there it should be fairly trivial to re-establish the Papal States to their largest extent.
- sidewndr46 4mo agowouldn't it be simpler to just lead a conquest and be crowned holy roman emperor?
- satiric 4mo agoLet's test it out. I'll become pope, you become the emperor, and we'll see who gets there first.
- senshan 4mo agoNo, do not stop the efforts! The story here tells us that risks of being poisoned (once the throne is obtained) are greatly exaggerated.
