Henry, son of Edward i survives

So, my query is Henry married to Jeanne, with Blanche fleeing into Gascony for protection, or Jeanne married to a son of Philip III due to Blanche not thinking Gascony/ England would be safe enough, leading to a massive angry thing, and Henry marrying Jeanne, daughter of Robert of Nevers and Flanders
I suspect she still flees to France since Phillip has liege obligations for Champagne. This doesn't invalidate the betrothal or cause it to be broken.
However, I suspect the Phillip would like to and so we get him inviting Edward over to discuss it. This may lead to Crouchback meeting Blanche earlier and their marriage becomes part of an alternate Treaty of Orleans.

I can see that, a much earlier marriage for those two, would be interesting, and I wonder if Philip would offer up one of his many cousins daughters as an alternative for Jeanne dowrying her up as a French Princess?

PIII's Capet cousins are all (bar Blanche and Robert) of Naples so probably not available for France.
But he's recently married so could offer a future daughter.
Though I suppose he could dower Blanche's niece Mahaut who I discounted earlier.

Hmm this is true, and there is of course butterflies which could give Philip a niece through his brother the Count of Perche who had to shortlived sons otl, make one of those sons a daughter and that could be done?

Direct butterflies are preferable in my view.

Alright so, essentially those that would be a direct consequence of Henry surviving, so Jeanne fleeing to France with her mother, Philip III getting her hitched to one of his sons, Blanche and Edmund marrying sooner, and then perhaps Philip either dowering Mahaut as if she were a French princess, or arranging a marriage with say one of the daughters of Guy Count of Flanders?

Edward just needs a decent bribe/compensation to break off the betrothal without consequences. A dowered Mahaut and equitable Gascon settlement would be the minimum.

This makes sense, and of course if Mahaut is anything like what she's portrayed by Maurice Druon that is going to make for one hell of a marriage. And of course means Robert gets Artois, thus nullifying his entire shenanigan.
 
Mahaut as Queen of England. I picture Henry being slightly sickly, but being smart enough to make up for that, perhaps more politically inclined than his father.
