There've been occasional threads about the survival of Margaret Maid of Norway, but I don't str any where her mother lives.
Had Margaret of Scotland survived, she and Eric II might well have had more children, oerhaps including a son. If the death of Alexander III is not butterflied away, then she, and not her little daughter, becomes Queen of Scots in 1286. Given the male chauvinist attitudes of the day, probably her husband would have been viewed as King.
Any thoughts on where this leads? Does Scotland become a part of the Union of Kalmar? Or does a male heir of Eric II prevent that union from being formed at all? And how does Edward I react? Will he try to conquer Scotland if that means war with Norway as well? If not, what does he do instead? Could we see him resume the crusade and try to retake Acre or something?
Thoughts?
