Oh, the irony of Yorkist-England and France being forced into an alliance of convenience
I think England's in much more position to stop the French from marching into Brittany and helping it than the Habsburgs.
Edward of Westminister/Eduardo I of Castille would have claimed the Aragonese crown, simple it is because he is a more credible claimant and he had more support, in a way, Marie of Burgundy would have given Ferdinand a consulation because his lineage is returned to its home - in burgundy.
Found the timeline where Edward of Westminster recreated the Angevin Empire and challenged the Yorks for round 2.The War of Roses and Edward of Westminster's exploits are a subplot of this timeline,which at it's core centered on the Palaiologos and the ERE.

I know we spoke earlier in the thread of Ferdinand V dying young or being otherwise unavailable (since he's married to Marie of Burgundy), but if he died young, wouldn't his father attempt to change the laws of Aragonese succession so that Juana (OTL Queen of Naples) can succeed him? I know his older daughter barely outlived him, but her grandson who succeeded her was under the regency of his French mother (which I can't see going over too well in Aragon - given the friction between Aragon and France), might Juan II name his younger daughter to succeed him as Queen Juana I instead (assuming he can change the laws)?
The choices of heirs of John II is Francis Phoebus of Bearn and the Duke of Villena...
Well Brittany and England are separated by the sea, so at the first sign of danger Anne will be likely sent in England if she was not already there something much more likely considering the situation and the fact who Edward and Anne were engaged years before her father's deathHow might Louis XI and Charles VIII start feeling (let's assume that for some reason, Anne of Brittany's TTL marriage to Edward V turns out like her OTL marriage to Maximilian - she's married to Edward on paper but not in fact, when the French march in and marry her to Charles, or that Charles remains engaged to Elizabeth of York (which could be quite necessary here) with Aragon at one border, Burgundy at another, and a surviving Guienne (who's clearly demonstrated in his OTL lifespan that he wasn't gonna sit idly by - I'm thinking a Gaston rather than a Philippe d'Orléans), who might just scheme with Aragon-Burgundy, the Orléans, Castile-Lancaster for the French crown

Unlikely.The actual status of Brittany was actually quite blurred until after the War of the Public Weal.Quite often,it was completely independent of France.Therefore,Edward wouldn't owe France any fealty for Brittany.It is unlikely that Brittany would be forced into conceding vassalage to France in this timeline given it's relationship with England.The French didn't care about the claims of the Lancastrians on France itself.All that they cared was to get someone to destabilized England on their behalf.An unstable England is good for France.This is why they supported the Lancastrians,and after the Lancastrian/Tudor victory,the Yorkist/de La Poles.I wonder, if, in all likelihood, the French court will support the Yorks over the Lancastrians, since Edward V would only owe fealty to France for Bretagne, whereas Edward of Westminster (if he plays his cards right) will be claiming the French inheritance of his father, the Angevin inheritance of his mother, and possibly the Castillian inheritance of his wife?
