I have had an idea for a timeline bouncing around in my head for a while (not the sort of place you'd want to spend any time) and doubt I'll ever get to it.
It goes like this; what would the world be like if England won the Hundred Years War and conquered France. How would that impact the age of exploration. More over, how would that impact the Enlightenment and the Scientific Revolution if one removed France from the scene. And what would Burgandy become?
I had the idea of Richard III fleeing to Aquataine following his defeat at Bosworth Field, and setting up shop as King of Aquataine.
Imput? What do you think the world would be like?
