Hello, Historico here, back after years of casual lurking and once again being bit by the timeline bug. I've been on a huge Plantagenet bender as of late, and have been considering writing about one of history's greatest potential "King Arthurs", the Duke of Brittany. Now a lot of the Threads I've found about this topic usually sees Arthur either beat John in the field before the Treaty of Le Goulet or soon after. But I am wondering is there anyway that Arthur could have regained his position if he had been smuggled out of Château de Falaise in Falaise, Normandy once he had been captured? Since he was about 16 when he died, giving him a few years to consolidate support in Brittany might make the Barons choose him over Louis in 1215? Is he even likely to live that long without Phillip's backing? Might the Magna Carter even get butterflied away, if the English now they have legitimate alternative in Arthur? Is there some other issues I'm not even thinking about lol? Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
