Agreed, Tudor fighting at Tewkesbury is a stretch IMO. A better POD would have him get caught up in the fighting at the battle he witnessed as a child (I can’t think of the name of it) and die then. Edward of Westminster can then survive Tewkesbury.
Maybe if Anne dies as OTL and they have no surviving sons he could remarry to Elizabeth of York. But I don't think he would wait in Brittany until 1485, he might do something sooner, and that's if he isn't handed over to Edward IV.
Agreed. His best bet is to get French support and pray George or Richard does something exponentially dumb, I.E. pulling a Richard III. I have a scenario idea where the Princes Edward and Richard died in quick secession and so Edward IV marries Elizabeth of York to a surviving Edward of Westminster to secure the succession of his daughter.
Edward of Lancaster? He’d definitely know of Jasper and Margaret’s existence. Both are his Aunt and uncle, who were close to Henry VI. Not sure about Henry Tudor though, but since they are cousins they could be close.
Jasper was with Margaret of Anjou and Edward of Westminster in exile, so he definitely knows about him. I don't know if he ever met Margaret Beaufort and Henry Tudor but since he definitely knew they existed. There's no reason why they wouldn't fare well during his reign. Margaret would probably remarry to a loyal Lancastrian and Henry would be Earl of Richmond (and possibly of Pembroke as well if Jasper Tudor dies childless like in OTL).
Is there a reason you're having them flee to Brittany and not back to the court of Louis IX or Margaret's father?
The marriage was likely unconsummated, so it is easily annulled.
The only place for Edward to flee is through Wales, which means he could take a similar path as Jasper and Henry Tudor in OTL, which means Edward could land in Brittany instead of France due to the winds.
True!
I could suppose Edward would elevate the Earldom of Richmond to a dukedom for Henry Tudor. Perhaps he could be Duke of Richmond and Pembroke in his own right.
That would require Jasper being raised to Duke of Pembroke. I don’t think the Lancastrians are going to be going around creating New York’s after the whole Wars of the Roses. Though Henry would make a fine Duke!
I mean, Henry Tudor already awarded his Uncle the Dukedom of Bedford after Bosworth IOTL. Westminster could elevate both Henry and Jasper's earldoms. Moreover, Westminster would definitely give any of his would-be sons by Elizebeth the dukedom of Bedford as a royal ducal title.
I agree with this. Jasper would be created Duke of Pembroke which would then go to Henry should he die without issue. Henry can then be made Duke of Richmond.
