Nope, Catherine de Medici ended up somewhere else. I have plans for her. Still trying to figure out who Henri Valois will marry.
Anybody have any suggestions?
"Rather large amounts of time", methinks. And marrying little Marie of Brittany to Henri's hypothetical son? A, they're going to need a dispensation and B, Henri had better hurry up and marry then, or else the age gap between the would-be spouses will become insurmountable. Especially if little Marie is the elder.
Does Tudor hair = red hair in general, or a shade of red hair like Auburn and Titian?
Actually, AIUI, Brittany was by that point inseparable from the crown of France. So while François III was given the title of 'duc de Bretagne' he was that in name only, AFAIK everything else was pulled in tandem between Nantes and Paris
As Far As I KnowSo, as near as I can figure, and I could totally wrong, while the Duchess of Brittany had been Queen of France for two generations, the actual official union with France didn't happen until 1532 OTL through a vote of the Estates of Brittany. In this timeline it was delayed a bit.
Also, forgive my ignorance, what does AFAIK mean?
Oh the irony of Anne Boleyn being said to have Tudor hair TTL!Just red hair in general. Since this is genetics, not a painters preferred shade, the Tudors will have several different shades of red.
Thanks for this. And oh, both Arthur's grandaughter and second daughter Queens of England? That's gone well... But then Cromwell's letter wasn't exactly reassuring...
So, both Arthur's granddaughter and second daughter are claiming to be Queens of England. Who actually gets the job is still up in the air.
“It would not be till the evening of the second day of Queen Catherine’s regency, that she visited Kathryn Tudor’s quarters. There it was found that Princess Kathryn, Lady Elizabeth, and several other of her ladies were all gone.
An investigation ascertained that it had been Sir Thomas Boleyn and Thomas Cromwell, Earl of Essex who had arranged for the escape of Kathryn Tudor. Orders were given to detain the two, but neither could be found. It was believed that Kathryn Tudor and her companions were heading to the coast to take a ship to Navarre.”

Calling it now Kathryn is gonna marry uncle Henry.

Now that you mention it...
Not sure which Henry you meant, but neither are an option. Prince Henry, OTL Henry VIII, is both Kathryn's great uncle and her grandfather, so he's out. King Henri III of Navarre is Prince Henry's eldest son and is Kathryn's uncle, also first cousin once removed. He's married and so isn't up an option. Kathryn's other Tudor uncles, are Charles who is married and John who is one years old.
