1.Isabella of Castile and Louis XI get both the Dukes of Orleans and Angouleme assassinated.
 
A few things...
12b) Louis, Duke of Brittany
I cannot see the Valois kings of France handing out Brittany as appanage so soon after they finally secured it.
2a) Elisabeth d'Orleans (b.1545: d.1572) m. Francis I, Duke of Guise (b.1550: d.1598) (a)
3a) Claude d'Orleans (b.1547: d.1575) m. Charles III, Duke of Lorraine (b.1543: d.1608) (a)
Elisabeth and Claude's husbands should be switched imho so that the older sister is marrying the older husband and the younger sister, the younger husband.
1a) Francis, Duke of Orleans (b.1544: d.1560)
So you have him as Duke of Orleans yet he dies in 1560 while Henri only dies in 1575. I would recommend calling him Duke of Valois, as the heir to the duchy of Orleans.
1a) Maria Claudia, Princess of Poland
Maria was not used as a personal name in poland in this period, it was reserved exclusively for the virgin mary. She can be Anna Claudia or Isabella Claudia.

Well, it's likely delayed (I really can't see Westminster just....sitting in France), but the Lancastrians are gonna need to be supremely lucky if they get the throne back ttl. So you're probably right on a hard AH basis, but tbh hadn't thought that far.

If Westminster/a son survive I could see them getting willed Provence by grandpa Rene, or maybe a Red Princess route with Westminster leaving a daughter who marries E5. Or just extinction like OTL. I'm leaning towards him having a daughter.

Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk (1496-1554) M. Princess Mary of England (1496-1539), had issue

1. Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, later King Thomas I of England [1], (1516-1569)) M. Queen Mary I of England (1516-1558), had issue

[3] An OTL daughter of the Earl of Oxford. I couldn't find a concrete birthdate so I went with that one.

Ok...so Mary Tudor the elder basically marries Thomas instead of Brandon?

Here's something I've been working on with @The_Most_Happy recently - a Royal family in a world where Victoria becomes Queen in 1820 and is raised by the Cambridges.
Still a work in progress, but I may build a shorter TL around it someday...


Queen Victoria (1819-1901) r.1820-1901) m 1838 Alexander of the Netherlands (1818-1848) [a] m 1851 George, Duke of Cambridge (1819-1904)

1a. Victoria Mary Augusta Charlotte, Princess Royal (b.1839) m 1857 Oscar II of Sweden (b.1829)

2a. William Edward George, Prince of Wales (b.1841) m. 1863 Princess Alexandrine of Prussia (b.1842)
  • Prince Edward Albert Victor of Wales (b.1865)
  • Princess Alexandra Margaret Victoria of Wales (b.1866)
  • Princess Elizabeth Louise Alexandrina of Wales (b.1868)
  • Princess Charlotte Victoria Marianne of Wales (b.1870)
  • Prince Henry Michael Alexander of Wales (b.1872)
  • Princess Georgiana Mary Alexandra of Wales (b.1875)
3a. Arthur Henry Adolphus, Duke of Kent and Ross (b.1844) m.1868 Princess Marie Alexandrine of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach (b.1849)
  • Princess Helena Mary Victoria of Kent and Ross (b.1870)
  • Prince Alexander Phillip Henry, Duke of Kent and Ross (b.1871) m. 1894 Lady Margaret Grosvenor (b.1873) [1]
  • Princess Alexandrina Katherine Louisa of Kent and Ross (b.1874)
  • Miscarriage (1877)
  • Prince William George Victor of Kent and Ross (b.1879) m.1900 Wilhelmina of the Netherlands (b.1880)
4a. Sophie Amelia Caroline Louisa (b.1846) m. 1869 Wilhelm II of Wuerttemburg

5a. Alexandra Elizabeth Anne Feodora (b.1848) m. 1868 Frederick VIII of Denmark (b.1843)

6b. Frederick Phillip Alexander Leopold, Duke of Cambridge and Albany (b.1852) m.1879 Augusta Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein (b.1858) [2]
  • Prince George Edward Victor, Duke of Cambridge and Albany (b.1881)
  • Prince Victor Charles Louis of Cambridge and Albany (b. and d. 1883)
  • Princess Victoria Augusta Margaret of Cambridge and Albany (b. 1886)
  • Prince Christian Alexander Phillip of Cambridge and Albany (b.1889)
7b. Georgiana Maud Alexandrina Katherine (b.1854) m.1878 Frederick II, Grand Duke of Baden (b.1857)

[1] Daughter of the Duke of Westminster
[2] OTL German Empress
Other Notes: I never understood why Victoria didn't use her father's title for any of her sons OTL, so here it is being used for her second son, Arthur, though I have given both the younger boys Scottish Dukedoms as well, echoing what Victoria did with her younger sons OTL.
George of Cambridge never marries Sarah Fairbrother, leaving him free of scandal and able to wed his widowed cousin in 1851 - a different marriage doesn't improve Alexander's health any! Victoria is rather more level-headed TTL, but she still enshrines it in law that all children born into the male lines of the Royal Family must contain variations of Victor/Victoria or Alexander/Alexandra/Alexandrina in their names after Alexander's death - hence the plethora of similar middle names for all children born post 1848.

And I will work out the daughters' children when I need to! Though I suspect, being out of the country, they might escape the plethora of Victors/Victorias/Alexanders/Alexandra/Alexandrinas...
