Louis the Lion

Louis VIII the Lion (le Lion) was within the OTL King of France from 1223 until 1226 and the last King of France to ever successfully invade and hold any portion of the British Isles. During King John's disastrous reign the Barons declared Louis the true King of England and he obliged by invading and installing a government in Westminster from 1216 until 1217 which the Dauphin of France.

This would have been the setting for a personal union of the two realms however John died leaving the then Henry III in his minority ready to be groomed by the now disloyal barons.

This timeline which will be set in 1800 and will show a world in which Henry III who was resident in Dorset at the time of his father's death was intercepted by the Dauphin's troops and unable to rally support or even acknoledgement of being alive. This establishment of a French led English state which would then join, at Louis' ascension to the French throne will affect the future of Europe and beyond as the middle ages come to a close and we enter the eras of exploration and enlightment.
