Words fail me in, again, trying to praise your magisterial deployment of historical knowledge and character development. Janos of Hungary. Charles of the Asturias, the list goes on, . . . . Beautiful characters and people with which OTL would have been greatly blessed to have had in it!!

Just a comment about your screen name:
If the USA has Uncle Sam as one of its symbols, what might a fictional
