So, I was doing some research on Richard I (as you do), and remembering that he supposedly had one recognized bastard, I began doing a bit of digging. Now I am wondering, if when it became clear that Berengaria was not going to have children, Richard instead of remarrying or naming John his heir, legitimized ihs bastard son Philip and named him his heir, this could either happen in the mid 1190s or perhaps on his death bed.
My question is, what would the effects be? How much suppoirt would Philip get against John?
