OOC: This is a version of the "Margaret, Maid of Norway survives and marries Edward, Prince of Wales" timeline, with the exception that this one will commence in 1480. The following facts are to be known:

1. As in the Margaret, Maid of Norway timeline, a personal union has existed between England and Scotland since 1337. In France, the English lost Gascony and much of Champagne, but retain Normandy and Calais, which is a separate Kingdom of Normandy. The English-Scottish monarch has the title King of Normandy, and Normandy is basically an overseas English possession, although it has its own government, military, and nobility.

2. Ireland is still the Lordship of Ireland, held by the English King, as in the real timeline: however, the Irish Chieftains would have been conquered completely by the 1450s, and thus all of Ireland would be under English rule.

3. Events elsewhere in Europe would have gone as OTL: the continuing expansion of Muscovy, the growth of the Ottoman Empire, various events in Italy and the Holy Roman Empire, the Union of Kalmar in Denmark, etc. However, from 1480 onwards, events will change.

4. This timeline will be a year-by-year one, with maps provided with each post.
