A Salic England

[kasumigenx]

On 1125, Empress Matilda would give birth to a daughter named Adelaide with Emperor Henry V of HRE, during the time he was planning to fight the French with English help, he would later sire three sons with Empress Matilda, namely, Henry(1128), William(1130) and Robert(1132), continuing the Salian line, after the death of Henry V on 1135, On the death of Henry I, he would summon Matilda as his heiress on 1129 and Matilda tried to send governors to govern the domain after the death of Henry I on 1137, the King of France Louis VI, would use the House of Blois claims to Arles and England to his own advantage against children of Empress Matilda, Stephen of Blois would block the succession of Empress Matilda to the English crown.

On 1137, Eleanor, the Daughter of William X of Aquitaine and heiress would marry Philip, the Junior King of France after a lengthy betrothal since 1130 after finding out that he would not likely have a male heir and let Aquitaine to pass to the royal domain, as he would figure out this is the best-case scenario for his own domain, his other daughters, Alice of Aquitaine(1125) and Agnes of Aquitaine(1126)[1] would have prestigious marriages of their own, Alice would be the second wife of Raoul of Vermandois and Agnes being the wife of Raymond Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona, Aquitaine being inherited by Eleanor after the death of William X of Aquitaine on 1160 would have meant that Bordeaux, Saintonge, and Poitou would be parts of the Royal demesne of the King of France.

Henry V historically died in 1125 and anyways he'd be likely too old for having more children.
The best chance of Salian ruled England is for Matilda to have son with Henry around 1120, such son would be 15 at OTL Henry I's death date and would be likely accepted as heir in his own right, skipping Matilda.

He is still young to have children actually.

I doubt that. Anyways, how long does he live ITTL?

Henry would have been anywhere between 38 to 43 when he died in OTL based on the available sources of when his birthday was. He was plenty young enough to have kids, provided he wasn't abnormally sick or infirmed in some way.

If there was just one son of Henry and Matilda, that son would also inherit Henry's Salian possessions, though whether he gets elected as the next HRE depends on how old he might be whenever his father the emperor and grandfather the king die.

His contemporary, Charles of Flanders has a similar problem in siring kids with his young wife.

I think the real elections in HRE started with Henry's childless death. His son would've been easily confirmed as HRE.

The marriage of Agnes of Aquitaine to Raymond Berenguer IV would have blocked a possible marriage between the Queen of Aragon, Petronilla, and the Count of Barcelona and gave Eleanor and his future son and heir an ally in the south against the House of Toulouse in the south, however, the Toulouse family would ally with the Salians against the Capets in Toulouse.

Philip II would be king on 1138 and would have reigned with Eleanor who provided him with many children.

Philip II would marry his sister, Constance to Frederick of Swabia, the rival of Henry the Salian, the son of Dowager Empress Matilda
