As we all know, King Edward II of England married Isabella, the only surviving daughter of King Philip IV of France, in 1308 when Isabella was 12 years old. 9 years earlier, Edward II's father had married Philip's half-sister, Margaret, as his second wife, and had two sons and a short-lived daughter by her before his death. Even earlier, Margaret's older full sister, Blanche, had been betrothed to Edward II, then Edward I, before she was married to Rudolf of Austria, King of Bohemia, dying in 1305 after a miscarriage.
Anyway, Margaret was closer in age to Edward II than her half-niece. Edward II was born in 1284, Margaret was born in 1278. So what if Margaret had been married to Edward II in 1299 instead of Edward I? Just curious. IOTL, they got along well, except for when Edward II granted Cornwall to Piers Gaveston when it had been reserved for Margaret's son, Edmund.
Any thoughts?
