Ok,
I have done some reading and some writing. The following is presented for comment on direction, and idea. I will check the coding myself when the 1400's are finished.
I have yet to add a chunk of events about Swiss Conferacy Revolts.

1400 and the Habsburg Succession
Unlike the current Swabian Abe version, I propose no pre-game-time Aberration of the Habsburg lineage. I retain their crushing of the Swiss Confederacy at the battle of Sembach, which secures Bern and Schwyz.
In 1419, the Hapsburg line is split into Albertine and Leopoldine lines. The descendants of Albrecht V rule Austria ( the province of Austria only (which I have stolen from Bohemia...
), having lost Ostmarch to the Bohemians, and Salzburg to the Bavarians), ceding control of lands in Bohemia and Hungary along the way to local nobles.
The descendants of Leopold are split again, with Friedrich IV as Duke of Tirol and Vorderosterreich - aka "Swabia", consisting of Alsace, Schwyz, Bern, Wurttemburg with it's capital in Zurich. Tirol and Baden are Vassals). His bitter rival and brother Ernst ('the Iron') rules Innenosterreich ("Steiermark"), which consists of Steiermark, Istria and Krain (which I have stolen from Croatia...
)
However with the death of Duke Friedrich IV in 1439 things begin to Aberrate. Instead of "Vorderosterreich" being ruled from Steiermark before Sigismund is old enough to become Duke, a Council of Nobles (the "Adeligerat") close to the old Duke take on the guardianship of his son. This sours relations between Steiermark and Swabia, and a reunification of the Leopoldine Hapsburg line becomes more remote. Suddenly the Hapsburg line that looks so tremendous in the RW, aberrates into pieces.
Sigismund is a weak Duke and a gambler. But he marries well. IRW he marries Eleanor Stuart, the duaghter of King James of Scotland. But in Aberration, the Habsburgs are not quite as marriageable. Sigismund settles for the daughter of Filippo Maria Visconti, Duke of Milan, the determined, clever and ambitious Bianca in 1441.
The Adeligerat maintain their power during Duke Sigismund's ascendancy and are then influenced by Bianca who promotes her illegitimate son Phillip at the death of the childless Duke.
