Fixed, thanks!Eleanor of Castile is listed as queen......
Ah, that’s a fair point about the name of Juana’s son. I guess we’ll go with Charles. And I also hadn’t thought about the regency in Burgundy. Juana is a young, foreign woman but she is the monarch’s mother and I also can’t see anyone giving control back to Maximilian so she’ll have to do. I do think her mental health with be affected though, considering that she was obsessed with Philip from pretty much the moment she met him and they’ve been married for nearly two years by the time of his death ITTL.If Maximilian choose the name of his grandson no way that name will be Frederick. The most likely choices are Maximilian or Charles (followed by Ernest and Philip). Joanna would remain with her son (and will be the formal regent of his lands aka Burgundy) and is pretty unlikely who her mental health will be afflicted at this point.
Also Maximilian II/Charles V will NOT marry an infanta of Spain or Portugal but Anna of Bohemia and Hungary.
Juana do not need to have real power in Burgundy, but only being formally regent.Ah, that’s a fair point about the name of Juana’s son. I guess we’ll go with Charles. And I also hadn’t thought about the regency in Burgundy. Juana is a young, foreign woman but she is the monarch’s mother and I also can’t see anyone giving control back to Maximilian so she’ll have to do. I do think her mental health with be affected though, considering that she was obsessed with Philip from pretty much the moment she met him and they’ve been married for nearly two years by the time of his death ITTL.
And I have to ask, who do you see Isabel of Portugal and Isabel of Castile marrying ITTL? I don’t think there are any kings available, since I imagine Mary Tudor the Elder would go to Denmark ITTL. Maybe Ferdinand of Calabria? The Duke of Milan?
Here's a family tree I'm thinking of for a Richard of Conisburgh TL I might end up writing someday:
Richard of Conisburgh, Duke of York (b. 1385 d.1452) m. Anne, Countess of March (b. 1388 d.1471)
A) Isabel of Cambridge (b. 1409 d. 1464) m. Henry Bourchier (b.1404 d. 1469)
B) Henry, Marquis of Cambridge, later Duke of York (b.1410 d. 1469) m. Mary, Countess of Bedford* (b.1412 d.1468)
C) Richard, Earl of Cork (b.1411 d. 1467) m. Cecily Neville (b.1413 d. 1483)
D) Anne of Cambridge, (b.1412 d. 1461) m. Thomas Clifford, 8th baron of Clifford (b.1413 d. 1465)
E) Stillborn son (b.1413 d. 1413)
F) Stillborn daughter (b. 1415 d. 1415)
G) Margaret of York (b. 1415 d. 1420)
H) Cardinal Edmund of York, Bishop of Bath (b. 1417 d. 1460)
I) Elizabeth of York (b.1420 d. 1499) m. Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland (b.1421 d. 1453)
J) Stillborn Daughter (b. 1423 d. 1423)
K) Arthur, Earl, later Duke of Kent (b. 1425 d.1502) m. Margaret, Countess of Somerset** (b.1427 d. 1479)
L) Edward, Bishop of London (b. 1425 d. 1483)
M) Mary of York (b. 1428 d. 1510) m. John De Vere, 12th earl of Oxford (b.1426 d. 1473)
N) Joan of York, Abbess of Whitby (b.1428 d. 1478)
* ATL daughter of John of Bedford and Margaret of Nevers.
** ATL daughter of Henry 2nd earl of Somerset and Margaret De Beauchamp, countess of Warwick. She ends up inheriting because the OTL Duke of Warwick is born female
Lemme know your thoughts guys!
Yes, she will definitely be the 'dame de deuil' ITTL.Considering who Juana in OTL was not mad but had other lesser troubles (mostly caused by unhappiness and pressures who ATL will not exist) is likely she will be called the Sad Duchess or something like that as she would be sad, melancholic, unhappy but nothing more...
Thank you so much for the recommendations!! I'll definitely figure something out with all these options...Mary Tudor the Elder in Denmark is pretty likely. For the two Isabellas:
- Ferdinand, Duke of Calabria can work only if he get back his Kingdom of Naples
- Maximilian Sforza can work if he can get back and keep his Duchy (but Bona Sforza would be a better bride for him)
- the son of Louis XII and Anne of Brittany born in 1500 or 1501 if he lived
- Henry II of Navarre
- Sigismund I of Poland (for Isabella of Castile)
- the son of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon (if he is born not later than 1508 would work for Isabella or Beatrice of Portugal)
Updated family tree, including the issue of Catalina and Henry VIII.Another tree...this one for my María y Miguel TL (@UnaiB you might like this!). It's kind of rough. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Arthur Tudor, Prince of Wales (b. 1486) in 1502, had no issue (a); Henry VIII, King of England (b. 1491) in 1505, had issue (b)Issue TBDSomes notes on TTL:
- Our POD is necessarily October 1497. At this time ITTL, Juan, Prince of Asturias manages to recover from a severe illness. As IOTL, Margaret of Austria is newly pregnant at the time and her husband’s survival allows her to carry to term and give birth to a small but healthy baby girl, named María in honor of the Blessed Virgin, in May 1498.
- Isabel of Aragon survives giving birth to Miguel da Paz in August 1498 but her health is in rough shape afterwards; she does not conceive again until 1501 and dies in 1504 after delivering her fourth child and second daughter. The distraught Manuel of Portugal hesitantly remarries to Germaine of Foix in 1506, hoping to provide Portugal with another infante, but their marriage results in the birth of only one short lived son whose difficult delivery renders Germaine infertile.
- After less than a year of marriage, Philip of Austria, Duke of Burgundy suddenly dies in Brussels in April 1498 at age 19. Juana of Aragon, who had fallen deeply in love/lust with her husband, is bereft...and newly pregnant. Her father-in-law, Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian, commands her to remain in Brussels to wait out her pregnancy. Miraculously, she manages to carry it to term. Juana gives birth to a healthy son in November 1498 and Maximilian quickly takes custody of his new grandson, whom he names Frederick after his own father. Juana is then returned to Spain in early 1499. Her mental health is clearly much deteriorated by this point, and so a second marriage does not seem to be in the cards for her.
- In October 1506, Juan, Prince of Asturias finally (at least in light of his frequent ill health) dies of typhus at age 28. Queen Isabel la Católica is devastated by her son’s death, following so closely after the loss of her daughter Isabel in 1504, and dies in November 1506, a heartbroken mother. Through all of this, Margaret of Austria happens to be pregnant for a sixth and final time and she gives birth to a posthumous son, named Juan in honor of his late father, in March 1507. As the only son of the Prince of Asturias, the newborn succeeds as King Juan III of Castile from the moment of his birth. Unfortunately El póstumo, as young King Juan is known, was born prematurely and proves to be quite sickly. He dies in May 1507 at barely two months of age.
- Following the death of Juan el póstumo, Margaret of Austria sets aside her (pretty immense) grief and moves to have Infanta María established as Queen of Castile. Her claim, however, is stoutly contested by Manuel of Portugal, who claims the Castilian throne in the name of his son (and María’s cousin) Prince Miguel. Manuel and Margaret find themselves at loggerheads and a meeting in July 1507 under the olive tree at Veracruz, a traditional rendezvous point for the monarchs of the Iberian peninsula, goes nowhere. Margaret prepares to have her daughter crowned at Burgos while Manuel has his son crowned in absentia and begins planning an invasion of Castile.
- It takes the intervention of Ferdinand of Aragon to prevent war between his daughter-in-law and son-in-law. During the lifetime of Isabel of Aragon, an unofficial betrothal had existed between Infanta María and Prince Miguel. Ferdinand simply proposes, in fall 1507, to formalize this engagement, which would consolidate the claims of the daughter’s son and the son’s daughter. Manuel and Margaret grudgingly agree to this and Ferdinand, in an ultimate move to pacify the two sides, has Infanta María and Prince Miguel crowned Queen and King of Castile in a joint ceremony at the cathedral in Burgos in January 1508. Shortly after, their betrothal is ratified and they will marry in September 1512 once Prince Miguel, who is slightly younger than Infanta María, has turned 14.
- The future Frederick IV is initially quite hostile to the idea of marriage with Isabel of Castile. He had grown up expecting to marry her older sister María and he is much soured towards his Iberian relatives after María’s 1512 marriage to Miguel da Paz. However, his paternal aunt and paternal grandfather remain determined that Frederick will marry Isabel and the young girl is even brought to Mechelen in the Low Countries in 1514 so that the prospective couple can meet. Frederick admits that Isabel is beautiful and charming but it is only after the death of Emperor Maximilian in 1518 that he finally softens to his late grandfather’s wishes and agrees to the betrothal, though their union is not solemnized in person until 1522.
That is prefect. Only two things: is unlikely who Henry VIII will give Richmond (his own grandfather‘s title) to a bastard, when he has legitimate sons and we still have Pembroke for another son. I think more likely seeing an Earldom of Exeter for Fitzroy (that title was given to a Beaufort but was created for one of the half-brothers of Richard II, and was restored to his heirs after that Beaufort) if he get an Earldom of his own, but titles like Richmond and Pembroke, will be reserved to the main lineUpdated family tree, including the issue of Catalina and Henry VIII.

Catherine spends far less time fasting and damaging her health in between her marriages ITTL and her very first pregnancy results in a healthy son, which helps take the pressure off of future pregnancies and allows her children to be born healthier.
[2] This is an unhappy marriage from the very beginning, with the plain and somber Mary failing to keep the attention of her sensuous and fun-loving younger husband.
[3] Exeter is an old Beaufort title so it is deemed appropriate enough for Henry and Catherine's fifth surviving son since Somerset, Bedford, and Richmond are already being used when Thomas is born. Henry Tudor the Younger is actually Duke of Bedford as a young boy and Henry Fitzroy, who is still born ITTL, is the earl of Richmond.
[4] Anne Dormer is an attendant of, first, Cecily Tudor and then Dowager Princess Isabel. She catches Thomas's attention and they marry clandestinely, causing a scandal which is only resolved with Henry VIII's death in 1546.
Francis of Angouleme? (I don't know much about internal French politics)Suzanne of Bourbon (b. 1491) married ?
Elizabeth of York? Or Cecily?Charles VIII, King of France (1470-1498) married ?
The York girls would not work (as I would like no butterfly for either England or Navarre right now) and Francis of Angouleme will likely never be born...Francis of Angouleme? (I don't know much about internal French politics)
Elizabeth of York? Or Cecily?
Rage quits cuz Tudor(as I would like no butterfly for either England or Navarre right now)
Well, if I can keep the Yorks in power usually I do it, but now would be only a big headache (also planning things with a different Navarre)Rage quits cuz Tudor
