Agreed re Edward taking up from Richard, s tichard dying to o early here?Richard II would be no less ruthless than Henry Tudor in dealing with potential claimants - I see no reason why he couldn't stabilise England. Although his relatively early death proposed in 1500 will leave some unfinished business for Edward, most likely. Being that much older than Henry VIII Edward is unlikely to be drawn in to the religious turmoil in Europe to the same degree as Henry VIII was (pro or anti reformation) and certainly is not likely to fall out over hs marriages to the same degree with the pope (who else could??).
So a much later Church of England if it forms at all. Possibly going full on Wars of Religion as per France in Edward's son's (or grandson's) reign
And interesting so perhaps a bottom up attempt at reformation?
