It would be a very different world.

The Hundred Years War and the Napoleonic Wars would never have happened. There would have been no War of the Roses, no Tudors, no Stuarts, no Hanoverians. It's unlikely that the English colonization of the New World would have taken place, or if it did, would have occurred with joint French cooperation. The Huguenots and the Roundheads would have been a single faction, and, with neither side able to conquer the other's home base, it is likely that, rather than Puritan victory in one and Catholic victory in another, a stalemate would emerge.

English and French cultural identity never fully separate, and a new language, a fusion of French and English, becomes the language of Shakespeare and Moliere. Without the dictats of the French Republic, ancient French identities (Basque, Breton, Occitan, Corsican) become stronger.

How this would affect such things as the Enlightenment I'm not sure about. An ageing Angivin Empire would not be the progressive, fiery crucible that Industrial Britain and post-Revolution France were, but they probably wouldn't have stopped Isaac Newton or Thomas Paine from being born.

I see two alternate presents: 1. The Angevin Empire, freed from endless stalemate at home, moves out in the 18th and 19th century to conquer vast swathes of the globe, creating an Empire larger than Britain's.

2. Unable to contain its creaking infrastructure due to internal divisions, the ancient Angevin Empire is ultimately undone when a victorious German Empire picks it apart at the end of World War 1.
