While reading up on Richard the Lionheart, I read that in 1170 Henry II fell seriously ill. What if he dies from this illness? Obviously, the Great Revolt of 1173-1174 never occurs. Henry the Young King has England, Normandy and Anjou while Richard gets the Duchy of Aquitaine.

* Could civil war break out?

* Does TTLs Henry III still marry Margeret of France?

* Does Henry continue or abandon the invasion of Ireland?

* Would Henry III go on crusade?

* Geoffrey is about 12 years old and John 4 years old. I can only see John being relegated to a monastary or killed at some point. Geoffrey was already betrothed to Constance of Brittany. What happens now?
