I've been pondering Henry II of England's actions if he wasn't married to Eleanor of Aquitaine.
In the absence of a suitable wife I've contrived a scenario whereby William Clito survives Aalst only to die like William Rufus in a "hunting accident". However he has a daughter who Empress Matilda marries to Henry c1145 as part of securing Normandy.
Henry becomes king roughly like OTL.
So I'm wondering if in the absence of extending Aquitaine if Henry goes after Flanders and what results from this.
