Henry V of England: King of England and Navarre

What if Henry V married Blanche I of Navarre, as I know in OTL Henry V was married to Catherine of Valois, but the Evreux also have a strong claim to the French throne via the cognatic line strengthening the Plantagenet claim.

How would this affect the Hundred Years War?

Évreux may have a strong claim, but the daughter of the French King has an even better one. Claims are irrelevant anyways, given that French Princesses have absolutely no succession rights to give. But when it came to signing the Treaty of Troyes and ending that phase of the Hundred Years War, Henry V's marriage to Catherine made perfect sense and had propaganda value. Any other marriage does not.

The only way I could see Henry V marrying someone other than a French Princess (that is, a daughter of Charles VI and Isabella of Bavaria) is if something happens that Henry V chooses a more peaceful route and avoids breaking the twenty-eight year truce that had been signed in 1396 (unlikely) or Henry V's forces are defeated in France (which is probably even more unlikely).

Not saying he can't marry Blanche... but you need a scenario where it makes sense. He's not going to defeat the French at Agincourt, force the Treaty of Troyes upon them, and then up and decide to marry Blanche of Navarre, even with the Évreux blood in her veins. This is like Henry VII defeating Richard III at Bosworth, but instead of marrying Elizabeth of York, he decides to marry a continental princess because she has some Plantagenet blood through another ancestor.

I agree with that, I think the marriage should be made in order to enhance the relation of Gascony and England with Navarre, I think that is a better reason for the marriage, another is an English bride for the Anjou-Durazzo, another enemy of the Valois, it will keep the Valois family annoyed for a long time, the Anjou-Durazzo could get Provence back.
