Inspired by @Kellan Sullivan's 'Male Maid of Norway' thread and a conversation I had with a colleague this afternoon (I work in a Castle, history chats are the norm): What might have happened if Edward I had managed to successfully marry Edward II off to a surviving Maid of Norway, the young Margaret, Queen of Scotland? They were betrothed and she was supposed to marry him within a twelvemonth of returning to Scotland, apparently, but of course died of the effects of seasickness in Orkney in 1290, at the age of seven. What if she hadn't? What if they had married? What would that have done to England, to Scotland, and of course, to Anglo-Scottish relations down the centuries? Any Thoughts?
