The Angevin Empire

Reckoned I would do my part to keep this thread on the first page.

If the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I doesn't go on Crusade, does he keep doubling his efforts in northern Italy? And would this activity be the situation that prompts King William II of Sicily in solidifying his friendship with the Two Henry's, which sows the seeds of a Angevin-Hohestaufen rivalry?

And if Prince Geoffrey, Duke of Brittany, doesn't die in this TL, what role does he play in the events to come?
 
Geoffrey won't directly be all that influential, but his alt-influence on history will be quite crucial for the Angevins.

As to Sicily and the HRE, I'll look into it a bit more, but the next update will focus on internal affairs for the Angevin and Holy realms, and I still need to make a decision on John! Anyway next update will be tomorrow now, my quiet weekend to sit and research became a little more... hectic than I'd planned.
