Henry IV was King of England and Lord of Ireland (1399–1413). He was the ninth King of England of the House of Plantagenet and also asserted his grandfather's claim to the title King of France. He was born at Bolingbroke Castle in Lincolnshire, hence his other name, Henry (of) Bolingbroke . His father, John of Gaunt, was the third son of Edward III, and enjoyed a position of considerable influence during much of the reign of Richard II. Henry IV came to the throne after the deposition of his cousin Richard II. Henry's mother was Blanche, heiress to the considerable Lancaster estates. Henry IV is, therefore, the first King of England from the Lancaster branch of the Plantagenets, one of the two family branches (the other one being the York branch, initiated by his uncle Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York) protagonists of the War of the Roses.

His marriages only produced daughters, which were Mary, Alice, Blanche and Philippa no legitimate male heirs survived infancy, after his marriage to Joan of Navarre he had Mary betrothed to Charles III of Navarre and appointed Charles III of Navarre as his heir on his death on 1413 which will cause wars of succession later on because the other Plantagenets were ignored on the succession and Charles III of Navarre rose to the throne of England, Ireland and Navarre and wants to get the french throne as well.

Since it was the military prowess of Henry IV's sons that kept the numerous rebellions against him succeeding eliminating his sons will mean that one of the plots to restore Richard II's heir Edmund Mortimer will succeed.

Even presupposing Henry somehow maintains power until dying roughly as OTL in 1413 Charles of Navarre is EXTREMELY unlikely to be able to become King of England even if named as heir. Henry will be considered an usurper and Edmund declared King.

But he will have Gascony so he might invade England, perhaps in this timeline I will have England partitioned or Edmund is made the king of ireland.

John Plantagenet survives becomes the heir of Castille with his Father John of Gaunt as the regent and the illegitimate Trastamaras were not allowed to ascend to the throne because of Illegitimacy and his sister Constance is married to Charles VI of France in exhange John Plantagenet was married to Catherine of Valois.
The marriage of John Plantagenet with Catherine of Valois produced one son named Henry, and two daughters named Isabelle and Mary while the marriage of Charles VI and Constance of Castille produced Isabella, Joan, Louis, John, Marie, Michelle, Catherine and Charles.

John of Gaunt died in 1399. Without explanation, Richard cancelled the legal documents that would have allowed his cousin Henry to inherit Gaunt's land automatically. Instead, Henry IV would be required to ask for the lands from Richard. After some hesitation, Henry IV met with the exiled Thomas Arundel, former Archbishop of Canterbury, who had lost his position because of his involvement with the Lords Appellant. Henry IV and Arundel returned to England while Richard was on a military campaign in Ireland. With Arundel as his advisor, Henry IV began a military campaign, confiscating land from those who opposed him and ordering his soldiers to destroy much of Cheshire. Henry IV quickly gained enough power and support to have himself declared King Henry IV IV, to imprison King Richard (who died in prison under mysterious circumstances) and to bypass Richard's seven-year-old heir-presumptive, Edmund de Mortimer. Henry IV's coronation, on 13 October 1399, marked the first time following the Norman Conquest when the monarch made an address in English.
Henry IV consulted with Parliament frequently, but was sometimes at odds with the members, especially over ecclesiastical matters. On Arundel's advice, Henry IV passed the De heretico comburendo and was thus the first English king to allow the burning of heretics, mainly to suppress the Lollard movement.

His marriages only produced daughters, which were Mary, Alice, Blanche and Philippa no legitimate male heirs survived infancy, after his marriage to Joan of Navarre he had Mary betrothed to Charles III of Navarre and appointed Charles III of Navarre as his heir which will cause wars of succession later on because the other Plantagenets were ignored on the succession and Charles III of Navarre had a claim to the throne of England but Edward, Earl of Mortimer usurps the throne on the death of Henry IV IV but Charles III rules Gascony and wants to get the french throne as well.

Charles III convinces the Count of Provence, Louis II and the Duke of Burgundy, Philip, the good to ally with him, in these conditions, Charles III of Navarre gains Anjou in exchange of Languedoc and Dauphine from Louis II of Provence in order for him to connect it to aragon and to enlarge his domains while the duke of Burgundy gains Champagne and he will recognize Burgundy as a separate kingdom once he becomes the king of France in a meeting in Provence in 1414 after the throne of England was usurped.

Charles III of Navarre, Louis of Provence and Philip of Burgundy declare war on the France in 1415 and soldiers from Burgundy, Navarre and Provence march to Paris to take it away from the Valois, thus Charles VI abdicates to the throne and the Valois were sent to Naples which is given to them by Louis II of Provence and they received the lands that were promised to them, Louis II gains Languedoc and Dauphine while Philip the good gains Champagne now it is the the time to attack England.

Charles VII of Navarre and France attacks England and kicks Edward the Earl of Mortimer from the English throne by using his French force, thus a dual Monarchy and a powerhouse of the Atlantic is born with no direct participation in the affairs of the Mediterranean.

Charles VII of Navarre and France attacks Aragon in 1420 to assist Louis II of Provence in his ambitions the Aragonese possesions go to Louis II which were the inheritance of his wife Yolande and Ferdinand I of Aragon was sent to Castille wherein he was imprisoned and later executed by John II of Castille.
