edward iii

Before the English crossing of the Somme and the subsequent battle of Crecy the French army almost managed to catch the English and came as close as 10 km from them; the English army was at a really low point as the French had ravaged the land east of the Somme, so it wasn't until after the...

Edward III with the Black Prince after the Battle of Crécy In 1337, King Edward III reclaimed the French throne in response to King Philippe III of France confiscating the Duchy of Aquitaine and the County of Ponthieu from the English king, as we well know this war would last for 116 long years...

What if the Hundred Years' War had gone differently than it did in real history? What if it hadn't lasted for a hundred years? What if a man from the future took possession of the body of a neglected dying royal? Only time would tell what changes this point of divergence could bring about...

I've always had a soft spot for Pedro the Cruel (aka Pedro the Just) of Castile. His victory over Henry of Trastamara would have monumental consequences both for Iberian Kingdoms and for Europe in general (I will list some of them further down). While there are a few threads on the forum...

Edward of Woodstock and Joan of Kent Edward (b. 1362) Arthur (b. 1364) Matilda (b. 1365) Edmund (b. 1366) Richard (b. 1367) Joanna (b. 1371) Isabella of England and Enguerrand de Coucy Marie (b. 1366) Philippa (b. 1367) Enguerrand (b. 1368) Armand (b. 1370) Joan of England and Pedro of...

Philippa de Cusi was born as a son, what is the expected name for the boy? Will he be named after his father or could there be an influence of Isabella and he will be named Edward? Isabella of Lorraine would be a candidate for his wife, Would there be other possible candidates? Does that...

Thomas of Woodstock was the youngest son of Edward III that survived until the adulthood. He married and had issue, including son Humprey, 2nd Earl of Buckingham. After the dispute with Richard II, Thomas was arrested and murdered in 1397, and his son didn't outlived it by much. He first was...

In 1314 a scandal known as the Tour de Nestle affair happened and the daughters-in-law of Philip IV were accused of adultery which would lead to women not being trusted on the French Throne. On November 29th 1314 Philip IV died and was succeeded by his son Louis X who was also King of Navarre as...

My POD is the survival of Margaret Maid of Norway. She survives and goes to Scotland as was planned, where she receives the same education of the future kings of the time. Once she is 16, she start ruling by herself and her marriage with Edward happens after their coronation as Queen and King...

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...

now, it's a common view on this board that if the english had won the 100YW, England would be more frenchified than France anglicized. But, i want to know, how much would we recognize it as "Paris french," vs the Normans? now, i don't know that much about culture, or french subcultures, but i...

Considering that that she was the daughter and only child of Lionel Plantagenet, Duke of Clarance and that her marriage with Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March was the catalyst that'll spark the War of the Roses a century later. Not to mentioned that Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York made...

How would the war play out if the Plantagenets had control of Scotland? The POD would be Edward II marrying a surviving Margaret maid of Norway and become king consort. now, they have been betrothed since childhood and i assume there would be some urgency from Ed I to produce an heir to...

During Battle of Crécy, the first main land battle of HYW and first great victory of English, French had suffered heavy losses. The king Philip Valois himself was heavily wounded, but it wasn't as bad as it looked. But what if... The first King of France from House of Valois either died...

In 1376 Edward "The Black Prince" died shortly before his father Edward III. He left his young son Richard to become king and died after having been plagued by illness for quite some time. It was probably something he had caught while campaigning in Spain to support his ally in the Castillian...

In December 1335, Edward III started negociations with Brittany so his brother John would marry Joan, Countess of Penthièvre (1319-1384). It came to nothing in OTL and Joan married Charles of Blois, Philip VI's nephew. When the War of the Breton Succession started in 1341, Philip supported Joan...

In the event of a failed norman conquest, what would the effects on the Kingdom of France be? On the surface we might assume france would steamroll the european continent as seen here and also here, but middle ages france was seriously decentralized, with Brittany, Burgundy, even Provence and...

Since @Space Oddity has a good TL going about Jean le Posthume surviving, I was wondering about his father, Louis X. I don't know much about him, but say Louis lives at least as long as his father (in other words to the age of 46, ruling France for 22years instead of 2). Even if his son were to...

Basically, come 1328 there are no direct male to male descendants of Phillip III of France. So no Phillip Count of Valois or Phillip Count of Evreux. Assuming minimal changes wrt to OTL leading up to 1328 how is the French succession crisis resolved?

Hello everyone! I have been reading timelines for years, so I thought it was time to start contributing. So without much further ado I would like to present: The Dead Live: A Hundred Years' War Timeline A Princely Miracle Depiction of Edward of Angoulême's Recovery In September of...
