Columbus goes to England, and Henry VII decides to fund him. The English take the Spaniards place as the conquerors of the Americas, and Mexican Gold and Peruvian Silver are spent in the relentless pursuit of the French crown. By the time the dust settles the English are sitting on most of western France, the hapsburgs have moved the old burgundian border back to the Seine, and the Spaniards (who are not Hapsburgs) have retaken southern France. The Capets' male lines are all dead, and the French collapse sets up another one between the Spanish and English on one side and Hapsburg HRE on the other, as the Catholic powers battle the heretic Hapsburg, who have left the Roman Church, forging a united HRE by breaking the Church.
