[FONT=&quot]Since there is already a timeline here that has the timeline of Edward II marrying Margaret of Norway, I am doing this timeline because I had seen other timelines with a similar POD that try to limit their POD and another is because I like the POD in this Timeline that I decided to merge with many of the timelines that I am working including the Bohemian Candidate Timeline that I was working a few weeks before, so please be patient because sometimes I have a writer’s block which causes delays but I hope you will like my timeline.[/FONT]



Richard the Lionheart wrote after his victory with his war with Philippe Augustus "It is not us who have done it but God and our right through us". So after his victories on the crusades "Richard was speaking what he believed to be the truth when he told the Holy Roman Emperor: 'I am born of a rank which recognises no superior but God' and hence England had the motto of "Dieu et Mon Droit".

Alliance of England, Aragon and the Byzantines part 1







[FONT=&quot]The marriage of Edward, Prince of Wales, was in King Edward I's mind is clear from the fact that a papal dispensation was received from Pope Nicholas IV ten days after the treaty was signed. Thought to show bad faith on Edward's part, the Papal Bull did not contract a marriage, only permit one should the Scots later agree to it. Edward I, like Eric, was now writing of Queen Margaret, anticipating her inauguration and the subsequent marriage to his son.
Edward and the Guardians continued their negotiations, based on the collective assumption that Margaret would be Queen and Edward of Wales King
Margareth of Scotland recovered from her own sickness and was able to arrive in Scotland in November 1290; she was engaged to Prince Edward of England on arrival.
Alfonso III of Aragon marries Eleanor of England, the daughter of Edward I in June 5, 1293, the marriage between Alfonso and Eleanor sealed the alliance between England and Aragon.
In December 4, 1294, Eleanor of England gave birth to a son who she named James, who is the heir of the crown of Aragon.
In 1295, Andronikos II betrothed Irene Palaiogina to James, the Prince of Aragon.
In December 4, 1300 the marriage between Prince Edward of England and Margaret of Scotland happened which will merge the two crowns and united the two rival Kingdoms of Albion, the marriage caused Scotland to be in union with England, Margaret of Scotland and Prince Edward were happily married but the Union of the crowns in Scotland and England was seen as a threat in France because it will increase their power and influence, Edward and Margaret were quite uneasy when they two first met, Edward told to Margaret that she is now his own wife and that their inheritance will be united as one realm, Margaret told Edward that she was just new to Scotland and she is not familiar on how to really govern it. Margaret told Edward that she is happy marrying him and that she is not even nervous about marrying him and she told him that she is happy that she married Edward. Edward was shocked at first on what she said, he was impressed of Margaret and told her that he is happy to take her as his own wife and that their marriage will improve the relationship of England, unite their Island and also improve the relations of England with Norway, Princess Margaret is happy to be with Edward although Edward had different thoughts and was thinking of other things, Edward I told Prince Edward to fix his own reputation as a King because the rumour about the King is bad to the Kingdom and he told Edward to focus on his own relationship with Margaret because they are husband and wife now and the future King and Queen of England and Scotland, Edward I was happy about the marriage because the two kingdoms of Albion are set to unite.
The new union of Scotland and England is allied with the Aragonese and the Eastern Roman Emperor, Andronikos II Palaiologos sent emissaries to Scotland and England.
Margaret of Scotland gave birth to a son named Edward in November 5, 1301, King Edward I gave homage to the King of France as a vassal in February 2, 1302, Philip IV and made a non-agression pact with King Philip IV of France which guaranteed England’s neutrality in future wars involving France.
Because of the marriage between Margaret and Prince Edward, Norway and England became much closer, Margaret do have a stake in the succession of Norway if no males followed her and if her uncle Haakon died childless, but her father, Erik died on 1302, she became the next in line to the Norwegian throne and in 1303, Haakon died because of a horse accident and Margaret and Edward rose to the throne of Norway and became the King and Queen of Norway and the ruler of Iceland and Greenland as well, they have both Basques and the Norse pirates in their own territory, which would make their realm a superpower in the future.
Prince Edward became distant to Queen Margaret because of his new favourite Piers Gaveston and he was rumoured to have a lover but Queen Margaret did not believe the rumours about Prince Edward and she ignored the rumours.
Even if Queen Margaret did not believe in the rumors she tried to ask Prince Edward about the rumour, Queen Margaret said to Prince Edward, is the rumour true that you have someone you love other than me, I understand that I was just betrothed to you and you might not love me when we were married I just hope that you are loyal to me even if you don’t love me or you are just taking advantage of me due to my inheritance, Prince Edward said to Margaret I love you, I can’t take another person to be my lover, I am loyal to you my Queen.
Prince Edward said this but he was not very sincere at what he was saying, because he truly preferred to be with Piers Gaveston rather than his own queen.
Queen Margaret was pregnant again and gave birth to a son in June 4, 1305, which she named Henry, Prince Edward was happy about the birth of a son.
Edward I strengthened the relationship of the English crown to Aragon in 1306 by sending emissaries to King Alfonso of Aragon and he visited the Queen of Aragon, his daughter Eleanor later that year.
In 1307, Edward I died and Prince Edward rose as Edward II, the King of England, Scotland, Norway and Duke of Aquitaine, he was crowned in London with his wife, Margaret of Norway.

I have some weird feeling that this TL goes in Britwank direction...
:D
Subscribed.

I have a weird feeling it's going to go in a Personal-Union-wank direction. I'm looking forward to the United Empire-Kingdom-Duchy-Republic of England-Scotland-France-HRE-Hungary-Norway-Muscovy-Georgia-Tunisia-China-Fiji :)

I am only planning a union between Hungary and Galicia-Volhynia and a union between Norway and Britain, I will have the Duchy of Aquitaine be independent but ruled by Plantagenets and Louis X has a healthier son.

Independent, as opposed to swallowed by France? It'd be interesting to see how that works out, Aquitaine was not a very militarily strong place. Rebellious, yes, but not very capable of protecting itself, except by taking a very long time to conquer. Gunpowder weapons were the death of it, at least as far as hopes of resisting authority go.

It goes independent as in split from England but I think since Aquitaine is now split from England, the new Duke of Aquitaine will swear fealty with the King of France and it becomes a powerful Duchy in France and since the Direct Capets don't go extinct ITTL the Valois remain as Dukes of Normandy and Anjou.

Alliance of England, Aragon and the Byzantines part 2


In October 5, 1308, Margareth of Norway gave birth to a daughter she named Isabella.
The sons of Philip IV were married to the daugthers of the Duke of Burgundy, Louis was married to Margaret of Burgundy in 1305, Philip was married to Joan of Burgundy in 1307 while Charles married Blanche of Burgundy in 1308, the marriages were arranged between Otto VI and Philip IV, Louis sires a son with Margaret of Burgundy named John in June 5, 1309, Louis is happy as is Margaret of Burgundy.[1]
Edward II pardoned the welsh prisoner Owain of Gwynedd in January 4, 1310, the heir of Gwynedd in the insistence of Queen Margaret and he was released in the condition that he is exiled to France, where in Llywelyn marries Isabella, Princess of France in June 5, 1310, the marriage guaranteed French support in the future rebellions in Wales but he decided to stay and live a quiet life in France with his own wife, Isabella who gave him a new life that is quiet in France but Isabella is ambitious.
In 1310, Edward II assigned Henry, his son as the duke of Aquitaine to keep England away from trouble with France
In 1310, the King of France is happy about the decision of England to let go of Aquitaine and he obliged the King of England, Edward II to give tribute to him for his son, Henry.
In March 5, 1311, Isabella of France gives birth to a son named Yvain, Isabella kept telling the King of France to attack England and restore the Independence of Wales, but Philip IV told his daughter that England is now powerful because it's ruler is also the ruler of Norway and Scotland, although the King of France did not agree in her plots, Isabella kept wanting to plot in order to free Wales for her husband Owain/Yvain of Gwynedd.


1.The other sons of Philip IV bear their OTL children but they lived longer than OTL.

This TL is going great. I smell a Northern Empire dominated by Britain, a Spain and Italy controlled by Aragon and a Eastern Europe dominated by Byzantium

ITTL the Byzantines have some control in Rus, Lithuania and the Orthodox Balkans. Lithuania is about to dominate the Rus as in OTL but the Byzantines are allied with Lithuania, ITTL Casimir III is the son of Henryk Probus or King Henry I of Poland and is almost 20 years older than his OTL counterpart, I plan for this Casimir III to crusade and capture Lithuania proper briefly which results in Lithuania being turned to Orthodox after Lithuania proper is regained and parts of Prussia is annexed by Lithuania.

I think I will also have Naples, Hungary and Galicia-Volhynia under personal union in my TL with Provence going to France, so both the Grand Dukes of Lithuania and the Kings of Hungary claim that they are the King of Rus.

In my TL the Valois are only dukes of Anjou and Normandy while the Bourbons are only dukes of Bourbons that is until the main Capetian line goes extinct.

Henry Probus
Henry IV Probus' wife Matilda of Brandenburg gives birth to a son named Henry in October 4, 1291, Henry IV Probus is crowned as the King of Poland in 1292 as King Henry I of Poland.

Euphrosyne of Opole came to Henry I of Poland with her sons to have her sons pay tribute to King Henry I, her sons; Wladyslaw, Casimir and Siemowit bowed to Henry I of Poland, Henry I of Poland was happy for them.

In 1292 Lev I defeated Poland and added Lublin with surrounding areas to the territory of Galicia-Volhynia which was recovered by Henry I of Poland in 1293, this made him to dislike Wladyslaw due to him being allied with Lev I of Galicia-Volhynia.

In June 4,1294, Mestwin II of Pomerelia dies and Przemysl II of Greater Poland inherits Pomerelia from Mestwin II of Pomerelia causing dispute between Greater Poland and Brandenburg and in exchange of Support of the King of Poland to Przemysl II in Pomerelia, Henry I of Poland asked Przemysl to give up Kalisz and it's surrounding areas to him.

In June 1295 Przemysl II of Greater Poland is assasinated by the rebelling nobles in Greater Poland which was helped by Brandenburg, the lands of Przemysl II which are Pomerelia and Greater Poland after his own death reverted to King Henry I of Poland.

Matilda of Brandenburg gives birth to her second child with Henry I of Poland in October 4, 1296, who was named Anna, Henry I of Poland established primogeniture and made the monarchy hereditary in Poland in order to end the long disunity in Poland, although this law was hated by some lords in Poland but even if the other Piasts don't inherit they are still Princes of Blood and own castellanies which made them have more better standing than the other nobles and the surviving Piast dukes were made peers of the Polish King, Henry I of Poland believed that it is the best law for Poland to survive and remain intact, however Wladyslaw of Sandomierz was against the laws of Henry I of Poland and because of this he had his son, Stephen betrothed to Maria of Galicia, Galicia-Volhynia is starting to catholicize due to entry of German clergy which was the result of the good relations between Sandomierz and Galicia-Volhynia, Henry I of Poland invades most of Sandomierz and annex it, leaving Lublin and it's nearby areas ruled by Wladyslaw of Sandomierz, Henry I renames his child as Henry Augustus because of his vision for his own son.

Let me get this right, kasumi: there were 8 deaths in this update, and every single one resulted in either a personal union or land annexation?

I reduced the deaths into two in the correction that I had made.
