This is inspired by the recent threads about James II. When William or Orange attempted his first invasion of England a strong gale scattered the fleet and forced him to postpone the invasion by a month. So what if the wind was more disastrous and not only damaged the fleet more severly but also caused the ship William was on to sink? What would happen next? Would the plans to remove James collapse without William? Would France take advantage of the chaos in the Dutch Republic to invade? Would Mary or Anne make an attempt of the their own to gain the throne from James? Or would the opposition turn their hopes to a Regency for the baby Prince of Wales, raising him as a Protestant?
