How about Philip III of Spain? He was an indisputably legitimate
descendant
of John of Gaunt, and whatever Christian population Britannia had at the
time of the Event would probably think of itself as "Catholic". rather
than
Protestant.
Does the Kinsale expedition of 1601 go to Britannia instead, either on
Philip's own behalf or maybe his sister Isabella's? Could anyone else
intervene in time?
