Brief introduction to England-France
Since this campaign "against Pagans" never happened, Henry IV's zealousy develops less than OTL, he mostly stays home rather than, say, conducting a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, which only worsens his already weak health and, while still taking the throne from Richard II, he dies earlier than OTL. His successor, Henry V, renews the Hundred Years' War, the equivalent of the Battle of Agincourt and other campaigns happens earlier and thus England manages to successfully win the Hundred Years' War before the French can bounce back.
One of the butterflies that developed from the POD, basically - while not a hugely sensible one, Rule of Cool applies. I was going to talk about it and explain it in some later chapter, but you were the first to notice, so here you go
Because Lithuania accepted Christianity seven years earlier than OTL and Vytautas died in captivity, there was no Teutonic intervention in the Lithuanian Civil War of 1389-92, as that conflict never happened. This campaign was notable in that the future Henry IV of England participated in it with an English regiment.
