No, as Austria losing Italian lands to Sardinia was the first step also for the Prussian victory and in any case was a big loss of prestige/reputation for Austria. Unless you have a Sardinia who would unite only the proper Kingdom of Italy (aka lands at north of the Papal States), leaving the...

Francis III, Duke of Brittany and Dauphin of France died years after being freed from Madrid. And if his health had taken an heavy toll for his captivity the biggest fault belong to Francis I who reneged the pacts with the Emperor, knowing perfectly who his sons would pay the price for his choices.

Well, in OTL both she and her elder sister made foreign matches and is possible who the King of France would be instead favorable to an English match for her. True

Edward IV got the best result with no expense in resolving the Tudor question: an Earldom totally at Margaret’s expense and a bride with some money and well-connected but born outside the peerage...

Madeleine de la Tour is a low level foreign match, is an heiress and being first cousin and sister-in-law of Albany would help with relations with Scotland

Edward IV during his reign had demonstrated an unusual talent in matchmaking: sure his own marriage had been a love match, but is not impossible who marrying the young and stunning Lancastrian widow had been also a deliberate act of rebellion against the chains to Warwick was likely trying to...

I was NOT saying who she is not stupid, but who she will surely know better than that...

Mary marrying the old King of Portugal is an absolute nonsense. She will NOT marry the old Louis, that is sure, but that was NOT her original match: she was engaged for long time to Eleanor’s brother, Charles V, and if that engagement still collapsed (here is unlikely but not impossible), then...

He can also have a suspicious accident, without nothing bring proved...

See my maybe for Constance’s children who were born legitimate EDIT: Sorry @VVD0D95 for this derailment of the thread

The true Lancastrians are only Blanche’s heirs (plus maybe Constance‘s)

Likely, but after Bedford‘s childless death the (remaining) Lancastrians were a disaster

They were Tudors and heirs of the Beauforts (who were NOT true Lancasters). If Henry VII had a real decent Lancastrian claim he would have used it instead of taking the crown by right of conquest. And here they are fully butterflied (and Margaret is a Yorkist)

The Tudors are NOT (true) Lancastrians

Lancastrians lost badly in OTL without recovering the Crown.

Lancastrians need to lose and badly. Else England will be ruined forever without any hope of recovering

Eleanor of Savoy? Her mother was a Savoy but she was Eleanor of Provence
