English Civil War- Oliver Cromwell as Grand Master of the Assassin Order :) Guns would only be slightly more modern than the Renaissance weapons as it is set from 1649 onwards. King Charles I could be a Templar agent. But his wife, the French Catholic Henrietta Maria, was a descendant of Giovanni Medici, so that would complicate the Medici's position towards the assassins. The war also follows the vital themes of the series- religious persecution, mysterious organizations and secret killings. Also opens up Desmond's ancestors move to America seeing as Puritan migration to the Americas was widespread during the 1600's. French Revolution- Church vs State themes. Maximilien Robespierre as Grand Master of the Assassin Order, but could end up being a traitor (like Al-Mualim) so you could set up his final execution. Guns would be even more modernized so the game's designers would have to be cautious as to not litter the game with firearms and turn it into a shooter. King Louis XVI could be a high ranking Templar along with the other nobility of France. Napoleon could come in later as the next Grand Master of the Assassin Order and the game could show how he came into the Apple of Eden. But on the Assassin's Creed wikia, it says that he was likely to be neutral. I think those two are the most likely possibilities.
