What if Richard I marries Ingeborg of Denmark and Philippe II marries Berengaria of Navarre, how would this effect history?
A wedding between Richard and Ingeborg is pretty unlikely as he would search a bride with connection useful for Aquitaine first and then the other continental possession while a Danish match would be useful only in for England.What if Richard I marries Ingeborg of Denmark and Philippe II marries Berengaria of Navarre, how would this effect history?

Well the alternatives for Richard are many but he will marry someone either French or Iberian or less likely German or Italian but not a Scandinavian princess...Perhaps we can have Richard marry Blanche of Navarre instead of her older sister and Philippe marry Berengaria.
That is possible as the Queen mother is pushing the annulment of marriage with Liz of Hainault to Philippe II.Well the alternatives for Richard are many but he will marry someone either French or Iberian or less likely German or Italian but not a Scandinavian princess...
Maybe we can do the switch with Philip marry Berengaria and Richard marrying Isabelle of Hainault (Philip’s first wife) or her sister Yolande
1181 wurde der inzwischen vierzehn Jahre alte Friedrich VI. mit einer namentlich nicht überlieferten sieben Jahre alten Tochter von König Waldemar I. von Dänemark verlobt.
Didn't Isabelle of Hainaut personally contest the annulment proceedings? I seem to recall reading something along those lines
Edit: Found where I read it
His issue is him not having kids with Berengaria.Well, Richard I wasn't the best of husbands, as far as we can tell. Putting aside questions about his sexual identity, there is little reason to believe that whoever he marries, it is going to matter very much.
I think William Stubbs is probably closer to the real character of Richard:
"a bad son, a bad husband, a selfish ruler, and a vicious man".
And unless you want to juggle history around, he will get himself killed, without an heir.
