Historical Continuities omitted important connections like:
Flandry defended the Terran Empire from the Merseians, who had earlier been helped by Falkayn;
Falkayn worked with a Mahayana Buddhist Wodenite whereas Flandry's daughter worked with a Jerusalem Catholic Wodenite;
An Avalonian Ythrian spied for the Empire in Flandry's time;
a later civilization contacted descendants of rebels expelled by Flandry.
But Poul Anderson fans know all this and a much longer post would be necessary to list all the connections.

Kaor, Paul!
And if the Empire had annexed Avalon, then there would not have been a Ythrian agent who spied for the Empire, helping to squelch that Jihad Aycharaych had been plotting to foment on Aeneas. A minor defeat at Avalon was to prevent the Empire from being shattered!
Ad astra! Sean
