1066 Discovery Of America

P.O.D
Just as Harold Goswinson and William The Conqueror decide to go to war over Britain, word spreads of a huge expanse land to the far west. Deciding that combining forces and going to conquer this new land would be better than going to war with each other, William and Harold crush the Norweigan Armies and then set sail westwards leaving  the English throne to Edgar the Ethling.

America

America (OTL) is discovered by William and Harold and a large number of English and Norman people who name it New Nortain, a mixture of Normandy and Briatin. They land in Maine (OTL) and found a city called William Town, the capital of New Nortain. They completely lose contact with Europe.

Britain

Edgar is coronated King Edgar I and despite being considered weak due to his age turns out to be a powerful king, straight away changing the rules of the monarchy so that the royals could marry commoners and he maries a commoner called Mary. They have a son called Edgar.

Normandy

Normandy is divided up between neighbouring kingdoms and ceases to exist as an independent kingdom.

New Nortain

New Nortain celebrates 30 years since it's founding and now includes five cities, the capital William Town, New London, New England, Appalachia Town and Lake Town and has a population of around 1000. Sadly celebrations are halted as co-founder Harold Godwinson dies leaving no heirs and leaving William as the sole King. In Harolds honour an expededition is sent North, taking with it half of New Nortains population, up through Canada (OTL) and reaching as far North as Baffin Island (OTL) called New Guernsey. Three new cities are created along the way, including New Town on Lake Superior (OTL) now called Lake Ocean due to it's size, Godwinson Town, located on The Hudson Bay (OTL) now called Godwinson Bay and Guernsey Town located on Guernsey.

Britain

Edgar I continues to rule and has conquered much of Europe, including Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Scandanavia, France, Iberia, Germany, Poland, and The Baltic States (all OTL).
