The rivalries and families of the cadet Sicily-Anjous appear rife for POD potential what with marriages between the Calabrian branch (the daughters Joanna and Maria of King Robert of Jerusalem & Neapolitan Sicily), the Taranto branch (sons Louis, Robert, and Phillip, of Phillip I Prince of Taranto and Latin Roman Emperor), and the Durazzo branch (sons Charles, Louis, Robert, and Stephen, of John Duke of Durazzo [1]). Not forgetting the next branch over of the Hungarian Sicily-Anjous.
However let's assume that the only difference we're making (before butterflies and knockons) is that LRE Phillip II and Maria of Calabria successfully produce a surviving son in the 1360s.
How does that affect things?
Do the Durazzos concentrate solely on the Hungarian rather than the Neapolitan throne?
What of the papal schism?
Who does Queen Joanna favour as heir?
Etc etc
[1] he became Duke of Durazzo aka Lord of Kingdom of Albania by swapping Achaea for it with his nephew Robert of Taranto
