As we all know, the Kingdom of Ireland, created in 1176 following the Scottish-Irish war, was the power that ultimately unified the British isles in our timeline after centuries of rivalry with the kingdoms of England and Scotland, managing too acquire Scotland through marriage and eventually conquering England. However, this was in no way the guaranteed outcome, and without the Anglo-Norwegian wars for the English crown, it’s very likely that England could have been the power that unified the British isles.

So, I have a question. What’s a plausible way for this to occur, and what do you think the results of such a massive change in history would be? I personally think it would make a very interesting timeline, but I don’t really have enough knowledge of the period to accurately predict the results or how this could happen, and I’m curious too see what you guys think.
