Also, you mentioned in the POV that Edmund thaught he was less skilled with a sword than a quill.
So, he could potentially help out his brother with the beureucrattic sides of Kingship. Even becoming the counterweit to Warwick
I too don't think it would be attractive security wise to film there
What lead to my thaought and later question, was thinking of thinking of that famous case of a car bomb in Belfast that ended up killing Australian tourists. Which then led me to think about tourism there in general.
Possibly:
Justinian's plague is limited or avoided outright due to people having a stronger immune system.
The Anglo-Saxon migration is slightly less successfull due to not experiencing such a harsh winter back home and the Britons not being so ravaged by plague
So, say the IRA assassinates the Queen in 1983 (no particular reaaon, I just decided after the falklands war) and as a few here sugested a vengful British government clamps down even harder on the IRA and there is no Good Friday Agreement. The troubles continue til today.
How does this affect...
My thaught is kill David VI Ulugh that way David VI Narin has no rival that would split the Kingdom. Also, instead of fighting the Mongols and loosing he surenders and capitalizes on that by becoming the premier vassal in the region.
Also, Bavaria could remain independant.
And possibly, Ecgbert might never become King of Wessex (he was in Charlemagne's court and likely siezed the throne with his backing.) Alfred is butterflied away. And we might end up with Scandinavian England
It would be fascinating for the Avars to basically go the way of the Bulgars and Slavicise, thou not necessarily convert to Christianity.
I am ciurious if they manage to beat back the Magyars though.
That would be cool to see "Alpine" Slavs with possible Romance influences
