I've been pondering this on my travels today, and I wondered what you all thought.
How would England's history have changed if James, Duke of York and Charles II had swapped death dates, meaning James died in 1685 and Charles in 1701?
Would Charles have been pressured into divorcing Catherine if his brother had died before him?
Or would Parliament have accepted William and Mary as Charles's heirs?
