This thread was mostly inspired by discussion about succesful. Let's say that Charles Valois, also known as Charles the Well-Served or King of Bourges(also, OTL as Charles the Victorious) concludes, that and all hope for his cause is lost. Before Joan is able to reach him, Charles is already...

In our timeline, Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, held Lancastrian sympathies up until the Readeption, when he switched to supporting the Yorks militarily. This was a huge boon for the Yorkists and helped them emerge triumphant against the Lancastrians in the Readeption. But what if Charles’s...

Inspired by the Tiny Tudors/Petite Plantagenets trope, the POD here is that in 1453, Margaret of Anjou gives birth to quadruplet daughters. Let’s call them (in order of birth) Katherine, Margaret, Blanche and Elizabeth. Who would they marry? Obviously, Somerset and York are going to compete for...

There is a lot of discussion abour England chances to win HYW in case of Henry V survival. But this is not the one of them. Instead, I want to ask about potential political, cultural and historical consequences of Henry V beign crowned with full ceremony in Reims Cathedral at november 1422. Also...

Here's a question that's been on my mind as I've started looking at the HYW and I read a few threads on Henry V outliving either Charles VI and Charles VII and on a thread (this one) about the latter, one person suggested the idea of Louis III Duke of Anjou, who OTL died in 1434 of Malaria...

France is, in the first quarter of the 15th century, in a serious situation where its fate seems to be at stake; after the victory of Agincourt and the formation of the Anglo-Burgundian alliance, King Henry V of England succeeds to impose a treaty in Troyes on the mad French monarch Charles VI...

Now, though Shakespeare liked the idea and wrote it in, we know that no meeting of any kind occurred at all, and that the royal heir probably died in battle, but what if he had personally killed York? The immediate consequence, I should suppose, is that he is killed as in the play. Is one year...

The POD is simple. At the time of death of the king Edward III of England. John of the Gaunt is his heir presumptive. That means that Richard of Bordeaux (OTL Richard II) dies before his grandfather. (It's possible that we have to remove Philippa De Mortimore as well, but personaly I can't...

The Battle of Castillion, was a complete disaster for the English in OTL. It saw the death of John Talbot "The English Achilles", one of England's most able commanders, and the fall of English Gascony. The latter resulted in King Henry VI's breakdown, which later necessitated the appointment of...

The POD is that in 1471 Henry Tudor gets killed in battle and dies without descendence instead of Edward of Lancaster who instead flies to Brittany with his mother, so what happens if that scenario happens what Edward IV will do??? IDT that Edward will be indulgent as it was for Tudor with...

Let's say that while Henry V of England died like OTL in 1422, he was able to father with Catherine of Valois another son. This child is born after his death, but unlike his older brother, he is both mentally and physically healthy. This way, during his entire reign Henry VI have an obvious...

In Life and Death a Kingmaker - A Lancaster Survival TL “No part of English history since the Conquest is so obscure, so uncertain, so little authentic or consistent, as that of the Wars between the two Roses.” - Edward Buwler Lytton The Succession Crisis known as the War of the Roses is...

Henry Holland, Duke of Exeter, had a plausible claim to the English throne being a local legitimate descendant of John of Gaunt. However he was considered such a douche by both Yorkists and Lancastrians that noone seriously raised his claim. And he eventually "drowned" in 1475. He had a sole...

1. The Madness of King Henry. At an early age Henry had demonstrated a tendency to be easily influenced by 'unsuitable' people and to be wilful. For this reason, in 1432, Richard Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick requested that, "[Since the king] has been distracted by some from his learning...

From what I have heard the marriage between Joanna I of Naples and John of Gaunt in 1362 is the major factor in the eventual plantagenet victory against the Valois on the Decades-long French war of Succession, the son of Joanna I of Naples named John I of Naples married Maria of Sicily, their...

Lancastrian continuity Lancastrian continuity On 1460, On the Battle of Northhampton, Henry VI was able to flee with his wife Margaret of Anjou and later leave to France in the court of his rival Charles VII, to keep them as guests on their arrival, however due to the stress of the battle...

How much of a difference would make if Battle of Tewkesbury would have end with a complete victory of House of Lancaster instead? Any long lasting effects on English monarchy and future succesion system?

I discovered this earlier, while I was trying to source where I'd seen that Edward IV considered marrying Anne Neville to his stepson for @lolotte34: So, what if Elizabeth has a stillborn son or a miscarriage or Edward V is born female, so that the Yorkists are actually considering this...

Catherine of Valois might be best remembered for her marriage to Henry V, but her most important contribution to world history actually comes from her illicit second marriage, or at least relationship, with Owen Tudor, resulting in the Tudor dynasty via her grandson Henry. While I don’t plan...

So, what would be the best/simplest way to achieve a Navarre under a Plantagenet (not necessarily the King or heir of England) while still generating an analogue of the Hundred Years War?
