I added my final adjustments, I introduce you all to the colloquially named House of Calais.
I will note this was one of my original ideas instead of the house of Tudor ascending it was fairly certain that a Burgundian-English Personal Union was quite possible after all the dynamics of the war of the roses after Edward IV's death make it practically guaranteed that besides the children of Edward IV the next in line is Richard III and then Margaret of York
and since Charles the Absolute had the strongest claim of the Lancastrian line giving both of these claims to the son of Charles and Margaret just made perfect sense.

Marrying first cousins will do that
Although if I see a better story to write I will write it.
I'll hold onto that bit of hope.Marrying first cousins will do that

Like either I keep the house of Calais and basically have them take over the Stuarts uniting Britain or the other way around either by marriage or by conquest. The problem with the house of Calais is that since they are Burgundian (The reason why I despise Philip the Good) they will be good to Burgundy and that just wouldn't be very good for the overall health of the TL.
I'm sure you'll find a way
Hoping for the Calais to take over scotland (preferibly by marriage but conquest works too)
Hmmm I have ideas but I still wish to get rid of the house of Calais anyway in order to kick start another warI'm sure you'll find a way

It would be kinda cursed to see a Habsburg or Wittelsbach England in this TL right?
Wouldnt be too opossed to a habsburg england if they get to unite the isles eventually.Hmmm I have ideas but I still wish to get rid of the house of Calais anyway in order to kick start another war

I see a better story I think? No Habsburg Spain but Habsburg England.
Charles the Bold had in no way the strongest Lancastrian claim around. Philippa of Lancaster’s descendants in 1486 in order of seniority were:I added my final adjustments, I introduce you all to the colloquially named House of Calais.

Here's the thing the Iberian Union is bound to happen, (the amount of incestous marriage there is just bleh) but the health of the Trastmara's is going to be in question. Juan is known as the sickly and I know what I'm doing to him later on the question is how can I keep the trastamara's alive with new blood and also the fact that should I keep them alive?
