A different wife for John I of England

She died in Childhood when she was 7, she was betrothed to Raymond, the brother in law of John, she can survive to the same age as the OTL Eleanor of Provence or Isabella of Angouleme, however the territories of the Angevins need to be divided..and one of the daughters of John marries Louis VIII..

However Douce can be kidnapped by Henry II when he raided Toulouse..

Would the angevin empire still exist around this time, or rather could John having a son or sons who are slightly older and perhaps more competent change the outcome of his wars with Philip II?
 
Douce's survival, of course, jeopardizes the existence of John's daughters-in-law, Eleanor and Sanchia, since they would be mere infantas, daughters of an Aragonese second son who may(n't) marry their mother
 
John marrying Constance would be pretty cool, particularly if Henry, Geoffrey or Richard survives.

Though I think the prospects of him defeating Tancred of Lecce and William III to be not great.
 
I can just imagine Constance giving birth to the English crown prince in the main square of London like she did OTL with Frederick II. The English will be muttering about these foreign queens for decades. She might even get a cute little nursery rhyme

Aha now that would be something.
 
Constance was betrothed to Henry, in 1184, how might one change this to have John and her betrothed, and what would make a valid reason for their betrothal and later marriage?
