WI: Valentina Visconti marries Henry Bolingbroke

Why would she be? Mary de Bohun was a much better match at the time.
Henry was only 3rd in line at the time of his marriage to Mary de Bohun and Mary had money to recommend her rather than Valentina who at the time was just the grand niece of the Duke of Milan (Gian Geleazzo took over from his uncle c1385).

Once Gian is Duke he still wouldn't match Valentina to a distant English noble when he could marry her to a French Duke and get a much better bargain.

I am talking about Valentina not marrying the Duke of Orleans and marries Henry of Bolingbroke after Mary de Bohun died.
