Ditto the earlier Huguenot settlement at Ft. Caroline, wiped out by Spanish who eastablished St. Augustine the following year. The history of Florida would have been quite different.

I’m legendarily a descendant of one of those Spanish missionaries on the Chesapeake, by the way, that being the father of Opechancanough, half brother of Powhatan, who in turn raped an English girl and impregnated her during the Second Powhatan War, 1622 I believe. No way to prove such a thing, so it’ll remain just a legend.

The history of the settlements along the east coast cannot be separated from the struggles going on after the death of HenrI ii of France in a tournament and the death of Mary I of England, and a few years before of Charles V of Spain. The crucial event was probably the death of Henry II, leaving behind a young heir. If Henri had lived another twenty years, there would have been no religious wars in France.
