OOC: This is a revised and some-what modified version of this timeline: https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=226726, which was based off a "A List of Monarchs" thread. In this timeline, the name of the British state is Great Britain (as in OTL), instead of Brittania in the previous version, and another thing is that Henry III, after winning Evesham, gets rid of parliament and asserts his "mastership" over England. Just to keep in mind.

All discussion and comments on this alternate history piece should still go to this discussion thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/disc...d.php?t=226727. Please DO NOT place them on this thread, for I wish for continuous and clear posts.

Margaret, the Maid of Norway survives and weds Edward, Prince of Wales

Kings of England, Kings of Scots, and Lords of Ireland (joint reign 1307-30, 1337-??)

(1307-1330) Edward II of England (House of Plantagenet) and (1286-1337) Margaret I of Scotland (House of Dunkeld-Norway) [1]

[1] In 1290, Edward, the Prince of Wales and eldest son of Edward I of England, wed Margaret, the Maid of Norway, Queen of Scots since 1286. Edward I of England acted as regent for Margaret in Scotland until 1300, when she turned 18. Edward I died on April 9, 1307, while crushing a rebellion in York, and his son ascended to the English throne, thus beginning the joint reign. Edward and Margaret reigned as joint sovereigns over the entirety of Great Britain, by right of their rule over their respective kingdoms. They were both forceful and intelligent. These qualities were needed because throughout their joint reign, Edward and Margaret faced opposition from various noblemen in Scotland and in Gascony, England's possession in France. The Joint Sovereigns managed to overcome these rivals, however. They had three sons and four daughters.
