Well I will say who bad blood between the women existed (but mostly Cecily against Jacquetta and between Elizabeth and Cecily). Jacquetta accepted and supported the Elizabeth/Edward match as she knew who that was the best match possible for her daughter. In the timeframe between the two story’s post Warwick has done everything possible mistake for setting Elizabeth‘s firmly against him (most of that mirroring OTL)....Only thing mentioning Cis that I could find, tense relationships with Neville mother in law =/= hating the Nevilles.
Literally nothing on Gloucester and Clarence is given.
Why does Jacquetta randomly hate Cecily ITTL? Even if I took your word for saying that Cecily hated Jacquetta (IOTL), why would Jacquetta hate Cecily? She literally gave her daughter to Cecily's husband ITTL, her hating any of the Yorks is implausible.
Elizabeth lived her first 13 years in Lancastrian households (her cousin’s court and the house of her mother and stepfather) and the war/tension between Richard of York and Henry VI was still far away thenLancastrian? She barely knew her father. She'd remember his smile at most for story purposes.
You can't abandon your roots if you never knew em.
It was a man's world back then, any influence she would've had would be over her husband, and through him, his supporters. Maybe she can bring some of the more moderate Lancastrians over to the Yorkists, but that's about it.
Why would she not care? Everyone would give a **** if their spouse was cheating on them, and AIUI, she NOT caring would be OOC.
You're already making Edward OOC for the (long term) worse, why not make him loyal?
Noblewomen were used to look on the other side about their husband‘s mistresses in both Middle and Modern age... and Edward is neither OOC (the biggest change is ATL Elizabeth’s influencing him more than Warwick) and for what reason that would be for worse?
Elizabeth initially will be able to reconcile the more moderate Lancastrian with Edward and prevent the harshest punishment against some of the biggest ones but after Edward IV had recovered his crown (with Henry VI and Edward of Westminster already dead) she will be able to reconcile all the Lancastrians (including Oxford and the Tudors) with the crown
