Eric Lipps commented on 2012-08-15 12:04:53 ~ And of course, if Henry VIII never gets to be king, England remains Catholic, seriously changing the political dynamic of the Reformation and perhaps resulting in its failure.

Eric Oppen commented on 2012-08-15 17:21:01 ~ This would change English history in ways we can't begin to imagine. At the same time, unless the Woodville/Grey clan was kept firmly in line, they'd promptly start lining up at the trough again, and that would bring us right back to the latter days of Edward IV. A lot of Richard III's support came from nobles who thought the Woodville/Greys had become latter-day Despensers and Piers Gavestons.
