Not sure if this is the right forum to put this in but here it goes...
In Shakespeare's play King Lear near the end both Lear and his Daughter Cordelia die, my question is what if they both live.
In the play by this time Lear has gone insane more or less and is too old and crazy to run the kingdom, Cordelia is his daughter and the queen of France now. Both of Cordelia's sisters Goneril and Regan are dead and Lear has no other relatives as far as the play shows.
Cordelia becomes the ruler of Britain (Yes Britain, that is what it is refereed to in the play) and she is also married to the King of France.
This i figure would most likely mean that France and Britain would be united in Personal union.
The time period is some time in the middle ages but it is never directly stated, they never show guns or canons if that is any time period indication.
Now what does this do to the world?
