WI: Plantagenet Portugal?

According to wikipedia, the elder son of Edmund of Langley, Duke of York, and his Castilian infanta wife, Edward of Norwich, was betrothed to Beatriz, Queen of Portugal. However, when England and Castile/Portugal kissed and made up, the betrothal was cancelled. Beatriz later married Juan I of Castile. However, neither Beatriz nor Edward OTL had issue (there's talk of Beatriz having a shortlived son, Miguel, but some believe this is a mere conflation of Beatriz' with the grandson of the Catholic monarchs a century later), but what if the marriage had gone through and the house of York ended up ruling Portugal instead of England?
 
Does this mean no reconciliation, or are you saying the reconciliation happens but the marriage proceeds anyhow?

I think if the reconciliation were to happen the marriage would become unlikely, if not impossible. So if the reconciliation were to happen, it would be a modified reconciliation. Could the Yorks hold Portugal? I mean Castile is a lot closer to Lisbon than London, and even Castile didn't hang onto Portugal successfully...

Very unlikely. OTL John of Portugal, the elder half-brother of John I and the elder son of Peter and Inês, was the favored heir of Ferdinand, with the many of the higher ups, and the common people as well, preferring him over Ferdiands daughters and his other half-brothers.

OTL he murdered his wife after being fooled by the Queen that his wife, the Queen's sister, was cheating on him, and she also implied that Beatriz would be married to him, with the POD being Beatriz being married to the English Duke that would be averted, and then the Cortes, probably, would largely favor John over the other claimants, and considering that his relations with his brothers, John of Avis and Denis, were good he would probably get the full support of the Kingdom.

Considering all this Edmund may be forced to press his wife's claims by force.

Ergo, the house of York might end up repeating John of Gaunt's moves in the previous generations, trying to fight for the Castilian crown in right of his wife. Fail, England and Portugal make nice, and Edward and Beatriz's daughter ends up marrying the king of Portugal as a sort of 'kiss of peace'?

John was already married to Maria Teles de Meneses, his son, Ferdinand, isn't married yet, he's probably one or two years old, so it's possible that if England and Portugal want to ensure good relation Beatriz possible daughter may be married to Ferdinand, which may not happen considering that a Castilian Alliance would always be more favored at this time and if John I of Castile offers his daughter to Ferdinand, I think that TTL John would prefer to stick with good relations with his neighbor other than England, specially considering that everyone still remembered how useful the English were during the Third Ferdinand War, they basically just plundered the countryside and got drunk.
