Edward of Angouléme, born in 1365, the eldest son of Edward, the Black Prince and his wife Joan of Kent, in history died in 1370 from the bubonic plague, something that left his brother Richard as second in line to the throne.
I have often wondered what might have happened had he not died from the plague, and if he might have never caught the plague what might have happened. This timeline will be my attempt at discussing this.
For starters, what I wish to know is, is there any way the boy could have either survived the plague or never have caught it in the first place?
