The Battle of Castillion, was a complete disaster for the English in OTL. It saw the death of John Talbot "The English Achilles", one of England's most able commanders, and the fall of English Gascony. The latter resulted in King Henry VI's breakdown, which later necessitated the appointment of Richard of York as Lord Protector, which helped lay the groundwork for the Wars of the Roses. So what if the English won at Castillion?
Prior to news of the defeat, Henry VI was described as being full of energy, with many believing that he might actually lead an army against the French in person, so might that happen here? Could the English manage to keep hold of Gascony and negotiate a peace with the French? Or would the territory fall anyways?
