As we all know, Edward the seconds reign was much less successful then his fathers, he lost the Scottish war of independence and saw alot of political instability in his reign. So the what if is simply, what if the rather disinterested and easily influenced Edward was more in the mold of his father? For the interests of balance I don't expect him to be quite as able as Edward I, but say we make him a bit of a better king then average, with at least some administrative and military power. What changes can we see? The Scottish war was still going strong, as resistance was continually quite strong. Is the struggle there winnable? And how would the English political scene look like with a king less easily influence by favorites?
