In mid to late future I was thinking of making a TL with the following POD:
Hardrada and Tostig win at Stamford Bridge (1066) and Harold Godwinson dies. When William of Normandy invades just weeks later the two sides make a sort of deal splitting Britain in half. An independent nation in the north ruled from York/Jorvik (by Tostig?) and a Norman controlled area in the south.
I know it sounds bait far fetched, but IMHO it would be an interesting result for a TL.
