Maid of Norway, Queen of Scotland: A Plantagenet Britain Timeline

[A Random Man]

Hopefully Edouard can convince Margaret to send at least a paltry amount of Scottish soldiers for Edward to use.

How about Edward convinces her to use scottish soilders as mercs or to station them in wales and the like so he can mov e his own forces more into gascony

Absolutely f*cking not, Blue

While I don't approve of such language, I have to agree. I doubt that England can control Norway and Denmark for long. Just look at England's attempt to conquer all of France during the Hundred Years' War and they failed. Sure, they probably would succeed had not Henry V died when he did. But even if Henry V succeeded in that, I doubt that his line can hold France for more than few generations. Besides, is Norway technically allied to England and Scotland in this timeline?

I just realized that Hundred Years' War is butterflied away, at least in OTL form, as ATL Edward III wouldn't have a reason to claim French throne.

It could work, in theory, assuming he'd consent to his lands being guarded by the Scotts.

Alliance or not, big ask.

Language.

 

[general]

Some Scots might be quite happy to join in for the chance of 'glory' (read loot/ransoms). Margaret might be well advised to offer that option.

There is one scottish man who will appear in the next chapter that is thirsty for some glory of his own.

 

[general]

Just adding, too, those lords with English estates might want to add to their retinue with some of their Scots vassals. that would avoid the Scylla of apparent subordination to England and the Charybdis of angering Longshanks.

Is his last name Wallace?

His name rhymes with Dobert Pruce.

I figured Wallace, as a slight older man, didn't need the glory from a war since he already fought in England when they were conquering Wales. Also he is the captain of the Queen's Guard so his place is by her side.

I know it!
Hobart Prune, a random bearded guy off the street!
(In a serious note, so Robert Bruce will fight along the British, uh?
Not really shocked, to be honest. Can’t be a king, so better trying to get more glory and more lands)

AAAAAH you caught me!

Will he die a glorious death which galvanized the English and Scots to have a major victory against the French, tightening the bond between the two nations?

Forget Denmark and Norway proper, take the Faroes and Iceland for the fisheries and ivory/hj

What a twist!

Yes, I figured its time to raise the stakes.
