A question I've been pondering as of late for a timeline/ story I am considering is this: Under the Tudors, we saw an English equivalent to Absolutism for a long time, whilst under the Stuarts the balance started to shift, whilst under the Hannoverians it shifted completely. Say a branch of the House of Plantagenet-be it the main line descended from the Black Prince, or say the House of York following the depletion of the nobility during the War of the Roses- manages to stay in power, and keeps things relatively in line, how would this influence the development of crown parliament relations- would the crown hold dominance?, would it be more balanced?- And how might this influence something such as the reformation within England? Furthermore, say something similar to the succession issues happens in Scotland with regards to Mary Queen of Scots, does this result in one of the Plantagenet kings fulfilling Edward I's ambition?
