Constance of Brittany’s safe delivery

On 1201, Constance of Brittany would survive the ordeal of a long childbirth and she would be able to have seen the survival of her two daughters, Marguerite and Catherine and she would be able to recover from her giving birth, she have seen the two betrayals of her son, Arthur of Brittany and determined that her son would never be betrayed again by either Philippe or John as she has seen her son return to Brittany after her brother in Law did not have good terms for him.

On late 1201, Constance of Brittany would arrange the marriage between Eleanor of Brittany and Andre of Burgundy(Guiges VI of Dauphine), since a marriage alliance between Burgundy and Brittany was proposed since 1199 which was blocked by Philippe II of France, Eleanor promptly left Brittany set her journey to Burgundy after her marriage was proposed, she would advise her son not to participate in the war between the English and the French and not to trust either John or Philippe and married Arthur of Brittany to Constance of Aragon, the dowager Queen of Hugnary on 1205 who would bring an Aragonese alliance to Arthur.

Constance I of Brittany to Philippe II of France

“We have been betrayed and betrayed for two times; we do not deserve this kind of treatment from the King of France, he just used us for allies against John.”

On the early part of 1201, Alice, Countess of Angouleme would announce her pregnancy and gave birth to a son on the latter part of 1201, which would lower the bride value, the name of the son would be Aymer II of Angouleme who would be born before the death of his father.

The loss of the possible inheritance of Isabella of Angouleme would mean that the English could lose the Duchy of Aquitaine in the long term, but her marriage would have remained vital for the alliances in Aquitaine and England and is the cause of the French confiscating Normandy, Maine and Anjou, however, it would have meant that Arthur would have time to claim Aquitaine with the help of the Aragonese King due to the marriage of Constance, the dowager Queen of Hungary.

Isabella of Angouleme would give birth to the following children:

King Henry III of England (1 October 1207 – 16 November 1272)

Richard, Earl of Cornwall (5 January 1209 – 2 April 1272)

Joan (22 July 1210 – 1238)

Isabella (1214–1241)

Eleanor (1215–1275)

I can see by the look in Isabella's eyes that she's going to be a suiting wife for John ;)
This is just a TL concept, so basically, this is just a snippet since I am currently working on another one, some concepts of this would be integrated into my main timelines.
