What if Henry Percy and rebel forces won The Battle of Shrewsbury, culminating in the death of Henry IV and Henry V?
How much land do you think?Mortimer becomes King of England, the Percy's recieve grants of even more land and the Tripartite Indenture is ignored and Glendower crushed.
Iirc the Tripartite Indenture wasn't till 1405, so probably never happens.
Percy might marry his teenage son to Edmund Mortimer's sister, which would make the boy heir-presumptive to the throne. Given that the Mortimers tended to be a short-lived lot, there's a good chance of a Percy dynasty.
Durr, silly me. Either way the Percy's are going to be given extensive grants at the expense of Lancastrian loyalists and the Welsh are still going to getting squashed.
Possibly, but the obvious option is a foreign royal match, preferably Burgundian or French to provide an alliance, boost prestige of the new dynasty and close off a source of foreign support for future rebels.
They'd have to find one of course. I doubt if there'd be a great rush to marry into a newly installed royal family with an uncertain future.
About the best hope might be Eric VII of Denmark/Sweden/Norway, who otl married Henry IV's youngest daughter. Could be some butterflies if they have children.
Late Medieval Royal Marriages were exercises of pragmatism above all else, considering Margaret of York's marriage to Charles the Bold of Burgundy and Edward IV's abortive negotiations for a French match (which he not he French terminated) I think Anne will be easily able to bag a Royal Match. It's worth pointing out that Edmund has another sister Eleanor who will also be a major prize. Maybe Eleanor is married to a Percy, probably Henry Percy, 2nd Earl of Northumberland who swaps Eleanor Mortimer for his OTL wife Eleanor Neville, a match that certainly won't happen with the Neville's defeated and probably exiled. Then if King Edmund dies without issue you could have the foreign son of the elder sister versus the English son of the younger sister which sounds like a recipe for Civil War.
So if the foreign candidate is a son of Eric VII we could see a revival of Canute's Empire.
A Burgundian, French or Breton match would be more attractive but it's a possibility. Phillip the Good didn't become engaged to Michele of Valois till 1405 so he would be free for an English match, though Anne is 6 years older than him, Eleanor on the other hand was only one year older.
Percy dynasty awsome.Iirc the Tripartite Indenture wasn't till 1405, so probably never happens.
