In 1390. Of course if things still go south for the Plantagenets then the Lancasters could swear fealty to the French king and Aquitaine would not be a de facto English fief.
That would create peace between France and England with Aquitaine going to Lancasters while England goes to the Mortimers..
Then that means a Capetian cadet like the Bourbons can inherit the possible Lancastrian claim to the English throne once the Lancasters in France are extinct and unite both England and France once other more senior Capetian houses get extinct since the Lancasters will marry to the Capets and their cadet houses like other French nobility.
Wait what whoa.
A Franco-English union will not happen unless the Mortimers are going to push their French claims and win, and whilst the former will be almost a certainty France has a very good chance of winning, especially as OTL Henry V will be Henri, duc de Aquitaine and not as involved.
