Alfred the Great. I think the one with Columbus would end up being OTL inverted. Danish England is much more interesting.

Mind returning the favor? :p

GO with Alfred

There is a very good reason that Portugal didn't fund Columbus, namely that they knew what they were talking about, and Columbus didn't. The Indies were not, no way, no how, reachable with Columbus's proposed ships. Now, as it happens, the Americas were in the way, and Spain got a huge empire, but the initial proposal involved Columbus and Spain not understanding geography.
