Victoria of Great Britain

Queen

Alexandrina Victoria was Queen of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 to 1901. She is well known for marrying her nine children to various Royal Houses of Europe, giving her the moniker of the "Grandmother of Europe". Her children include Empress Victoria of Germany, King Edward VII of Great Britain, and King Alfred I of Canada. Her grandchildren include King George V of Great Britain, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, Queen Marie of Romania, Queen Victoria of Canada, Queen Beatrice of America, and Tsarina Alexandra of Ukraine.

Queen Victoria is renowned for having the longest reign of any British monarch, reigning for 63 years and 216 days. She also reigned as the Empress of India from 1877 until her death. Her descendants would hold the title of Emperor of India until its independence. Her reign is consistent as one of the most influential of any monarch, with the term of the Victorian Era being coined during this time. She greatly restored the monarchy's reputation among the British population, save for the brief period of reclusive depression following her husband's death. Victoria is also credited with modernizing the British monarchy, though remained critical of the growing feminist movement around the world.

Great use of the family tree! I feel like this is a good answer to the prompt. I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet :P

Given I know what your world is Tynen, this is an excellent angle for this prompt. You had a couple more obvious and I would argue less interesting tacts you could have taken *stares over at Ghengis Khan* if you'd wanted to dive into older history of the alternate earth style setting. But instead you focused on not sheer numerics but Prominence of the progeny and that, that is the sort of twisting we greatly enjoy with our prompts. Throw em on the rack and make em bend and stretch to your needs, most excellent.   And regardless how one may feel about the British royals, it cannot be said that Queen Victoria and her direct descendants were not progeny with prominence. They were alive through some of the most turbulent times in history for the world and for the Empire as it started breaking apart. They were major players in literal world shattering events, engaged in decisions across a multitude of earth shaking conflicts, diplomatic situations, and more, the voice of one of the last world powers in the era of colonial power structures and what we now look at as 'old world empire building' and also for the birth of the more new age style which while they may not dominate they were one of the few old power structures and groups able to make any sort of successful transition to the new ways of the world in some fashion. This is a great choice of topic my only thought is you could perhaps expand on Victoria herself some, and some of the 'previews of what was coming' that she was on the throne and involved in the decision making for. Though the hand of the monarchy was not necessarily directly making decisions by her time to say it was uninvolved would be a downright lie of course. But that is more of an after Summercamp discussion perhaps. SC is merely about seeds unless you want finished entries and not just badge goblin chasing. And this is a great seed. I'll definitely keep an eye on this one, hoping you want to discuss it more after camp :D Into the collection it goes!

Ah, finally, this is what I've been waiting for. I know it's alternative history, but I'm glad that you've left some of the more famous children and grandchildren in the countries with their names, like in the real story. It's also nice that you included the family tree. And I hope she's still married to Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Stuff like this always makes me think of Sliders, where the four protagonists jump from one alternative to the next. What I find a shame, though, is that you could have made so much of the article, including with regard to hemophilia (it could be another hereditary disease here), which fits in with the prompt and the alternative history theme. Perhaps you could expand on the article; that would be fantastic. A woman who lived so long needs more attention!

Summer Camp is back! Rippling waves lead you to my answers of this year's prompts.
