The Queen is Dead!: Katherine of Aragon dies in 1518

Not a state one - it's difficult to do so when you're trying to hold the country together with a five-year-old on the throne... I do know my Old Testament, you know
That doesn't mean that there weren't local anti-Catholic mobs, etc.
And yup. The Tudors are still flourishing on the throne in 2020 under Queen Cecily, with an uncle of hers as Duke of York and Normandy - that being the traditional title for the second son of a monarch, granted to her uncle upon his marriage a few decades ago. Cecily hasn't yet married, but she's still young, early twenties at most. Her younger sister, Princess Arabella is still at university, studying Celtic Studies and Languages at Lady Christina College, Cambridge. Cecily herself is in a "Will they-won't they" relationship with Lord Henry Cavendish, son of the Duke of Devonshire, but there's no signs of them tying the knot just yet...

Hey she survived a lot longer than anyone expected her to.... Although admittedly I trapped myself by deciding none of them were going to die naturally and having to then find a variety of ways of killing them all off. Fire was about the only one left?!Poor Jacquetta, such a hard life and then killed in a fire?
You're all very welcome! It's been fun exploring this universe again, I must say!
I'm very glad to see that the Tudor dynasty lived past the 16th century. Excellent timeline, I loved every moment of it, and I have to say that reading yours played a role in me creating my own.

Here's the Boleyn Family Tree as far as I know it - Katharine definitely has children with James V, but I never named any of them or decided on dates of birth for them. And yes, Pippa's husband does survive, so she does become Duchess of Suffolk in 1545.
I'll do the Tudor one in a day or two - this is more complicated than it looks!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it - and I am honoured to have inspired yours
Wonderful as always! Have I mentioned how much I love your use of older Plantagenet names? Especially Jacquetta! Though it would’ve been nice to see a Matilda or Philippa Tudor, considering that they would actually be descended from the most famous women of those names. Also, nice to see the Brandon and Fitzroy lines surviving ITTL.
I think that was an @isabella suggestion, actually, and someone else suggested the young Earl of Lincoln for Pippa. I couldn't see why not.Nice nod to Katheryn Howard in the Boleyn tree
