The White Ship arrived safely

I have written this scenario and I saw this scenario floating on my cloud storage, I just wondered if I can share this.

The survival of William of Adelin

William and Matilda were betrothed and were believed to have a happy future together and will make Anjou at peace with Normandy and they were married on 1120, after marrying him the County of Maine would pass to William Adelin of Normandy, Matilda and William dearly loved each other.

William and Matilda set out on a trip from Normandy to England on November 25 1120 and William of Adelin boarded the White Ship in Barfleur while his wife Matilda rode another ship, in the ship William Adelin noticed the rock in Barfleur, William Adelin told Thomas FitzStephen to be careful in sailing the ship in order to avoid an accident from occuring.
William Adelin walked at the edge of the ship and gazed at the sky and the sea and he found that the ship could be in danger of hitting a rock.
Meanwhile, Matilda dreamt that she would not be able to meet her husband, William Adelin again and he would be drowned due to an accident, she is very worried about him.
William Adelin told Thomas FitzStephen that they should detour because of the rock is near the ship and thus they were able to go to the English channel and sailed from Barfleur unharmed and he arrived in England safely because he warned FitzStephen to avoid sailing to the rock because the rock will cause the White Ship to be destroyed and if the White Ship is destroyed, they will drown, William Adelin talked to Thomas FitzStephen and talked about what could have happened if they were never careful when they were in the White Ship, they talked heart to heart and William Adelin said to Thomas FitzStephen that he wanted to see his wife Matilda again, he said it was destiny that made him survive, William Adelin was excited to see his wife Matilda.

Matilda's tears show when she met her husband, William Adelin, the Duke of Normandy and the future King of England and embraced him with all of her love.


Matilda said, "I thought we would never see again, I dreamt that you would be drowned"

William responded, "I will stay with you as long as we live, Matilda, don't worry about that, I will never dissappear from your arms, Matilda"

Matilda said, "I want us to stay together until the end of our lives"
William responded "Of course"

Because William Adelin arrived safe and Henry II of England was happy to see William Adelin and that he seen his only heir survived and that the White Ship managed to board back to England, in 1115, Empress Matilda of the Holy Roman Empire gave birth to a son named Henry, named after he father and her own husband, Matilda of Anjou also arrived safe in England, earlier she adopted the name Matilda after her marriage in June 1119, as had her mother-in-law, Edith of Scotland, she was born Isabella d’Anjou(b.1111), she was the daughter of the count of Anjou, later she found out that she was pregnant with a child and in April 4, 1122, she gave birth to a son whom she named Henry, William Adelin attended the christening of Henry of Germany, the son of Empress Matilda and Henry V in May 1122, Matilda of Anjou was happy about the birth of a son of Empress Matilda, later Queen Matilda of England would give birth to a daughter named Matilda Elisabeth in June 4, 1123, William Clito dies due to a severe fever in the early 1124 and Robert Curthose dies due to the severe grief, William Adelin set his own eyes to Flanders and wanted to inherit it, he sent emissaries to Count Carl of Flanders to appoint him as his own heir in which he agreed.

in 1128, William Adelin seizes Flanders from the Rebels after Count Carl of Flanders was killed in a revolt.

Philip of France(b.August 29, 1116) was the favourite son of his father as a child, Philip was enthroned alongside Louis VI as joint king in 1129. However, the young king gave his father little joy after that, refusing to pay attention to the old king or to follow the high standards that Louis himself followed. He became disobedient, refusing to heed scoldings or warnings; Walter Map said that he "strayed from the paths of conduct travelled by his father and, by his overweening pride and tyrannical arrogance, made himself a burden to all, Eleanor of Aquitaine was very much attracted to him as a a young man that she played with him and treated her like a close friend, however she also learned that she is about to be married to him which made her quite excited to be the Queen of France.

Aenor of Chatterherault and William(Guilhem) Aigret(b. 1126) were able to survive and recover from sickness in 1130, Eleanor was betrothed to Philip of France, the Junior King who later became Philip II of France, while Alice of Aquitaine was betrothed to Henry of Germany, the two marriages would pit William Aigret between both Holy Roman Empire and France, the betrothal of William Aigret to Constance of France, the sister of Philip, the Junior King of France in exchange of that to the marriage with Eleanor of Aquitaine.

I take it this won't result in a nuclear war and a dimension-hopping expansionist meritocratic dictatorship emerging from Australia? :p

It looks interesting and I'm curious to see where you'll go with this. I didn't really like the more personal parts, they felt quite forced, but that's a matter of taste I guess. Keep going :)
 
Into the deep

Nice time thread. I like the central image of William+Matilda. Too add some dimension. The White ship carries the nobility of France assuring the acquisition of Britain as a French colony. The English language never materializes and this article is written in French.

(Unsure of the marriage options for Eleanor of Aquitaine - but the house of Anjou is very strong) Duke Geoffrey of Anjou has an affair with her anyway. She develops an even larger troubadour school as the Cathars develop into a significant religious force. In the new school of manners with Dangerossa Bouchard as matron, the court of love matures in 1145.

Pope Eugenius declares the 2nd Crusade in 1145 after the fall of Edessa. It is led by Philip who advances the timetable of the Crusade by two months to that of the First Crusade so harvest is favored, winter avoided. His pilgrim brother Louis is sidelined and Philip does not allow his bishops to any war council meetings. As Philip the Strong, he is not outfoxed by the Emperor of Byzantium and unites with Conrad of Germany, wins the battles across Anatolia and retakes Edessa with supply lines from allied Antioch. Eleanor brings 300 woman + champions - and the Crusade is framed more by the Cathars than the Catholics as a passion for keeping the French Colonies won in the First Crusade. Chivalry and knighthood is on steroids. In face the word knight is replaced by chevalier.

This is my next timeline to do after my current one is finished, thanks.

Unlikely French may stay court language in England but it will not replace English, in fact we may end up with a less French English: If French stayed the court language in England as it were in Flandern and Brabant, we will likely see a late a similar evolution where a standard established later from a mix of several written dialects used in the north (as the urban upper classes in the south would use French as written standard). The result is that the French loan word in the southern dialect are not used, and we get a English which are more traditional. It's a evolution you see many places the later a written standard is created the less loan word you see (at least from prestige languages).

What I think is more interesting is the inclusion of Flandern in this union. Flandern while using the Picard dialect as court language was mostly Flemish speaking, and the important merchant elite of was Low Franconian speakers at this point, a dialect closely related to Low Saxon one of the ancestors of English, so it may have been mutual intelligible with some English south dialects. So we may see mixing between English and Flemish, slowly making English more Flemish and Flemish less German.
