WI - No Spanish Expedition - the Black Prince lives to be 60

With a POD that Edward III and his son refuse to intervene in the Castillian succession crisis of the 1360's, what is the impact on England if Edward the 'Black Prince" remains healthy and vigorous and lives to a normal medieval lifespan of 60, dying in 1390 instead of 1376. This means that he becomes Edward IV and his son, Richard of Bordeaux, benefits from the tutilege of a vigorous and capable father before becoming King as an adult in 1390.
 
What does Eddy* do instead? Focus on governing Aquitaine? Go on crusade?

That's going to make an impact on things - if he's still spending money on major campaigning, he's still going to have the financial problems he had OTL, most likely.

And just checking butterflies:
Richard wasn't his firstborn son. He wasn't even born until after the POD (January of 1367) - or right before, depending on when exactly you make things diverge.

So do we get rid of his older brother (died 1371 OTL)?

* The Black Prince. To avoid confusion with his father ("Edward") and the historical Edward IV.
 
Hmm, was the BP any good at civil administration? I seem to think the answer is no, but that might just be because his attention was directed toward warfare not poor skills.
