DBWI: No Plantagenet Naples

[kasumigenx]

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 descendant, Maria I of Naples and Provence married to Henry VI of England creating the Triple Union of France, Naples and England in 1440.

What if Joanna I of Naples does not marry John of Gaunt.

If this hadn't happened we likely wouldn't have the power dynamics of italy shift south. Without this shift we probably wouldn't have seen venice and the pope come together to unite the north into the kingdom of Eturia. And without Eturia combining Venetian trade with papal zeal this does a lot to the muslim world.

Yeah, Naples would later break with France and England in the 1800s as I remember, Scotland was allied with Austria-Burgundy since the marriage of Margaret of Burgundy with James IV in 1500.

I think we might still see the Valois as an existing Dynasty, the Bourbons are a minor nobility and a descendant of the Capetians...
