Well, I personally would prefer the prime Templar antagonists this time around to be fictionalised.

However, I can imagine plenty of characters backed by each faction. In the prelude to the War of the Roses, Henry VI was a weak and pathetic King. Kind and pious, but ineffectual. Imagine a power struggle in the prelude between the Asssassins and Templars to actually gain control of Henry VI so they can manipulate him for their own means, as the man in real history was a puppet for Anjou and Somerset.

The morality lines could be far more blurred between the Assassins and Templars. Also as the setting would be a war I believe it would be a good opportunity to do something I feel Ubisoft has no conveyed well so far during Assassin's Creed: the effects of war. How the innocent suffer. The men slaughtered, the women raped, towns decimated. The characters that start out noble can slowly be transformed by the war and vice versa.

A few battles would be present in the game though ultimately it would be about showing what a war does to a nation... granted I would utterly overexaggerate the effect the actual war did have on England though if it creates a good and compelling story I don't see how it is too much of a problem.
