June 1503
Prince Henry of England falls terribly ill with a swelling in his face, severe pain in his groin, sweats and an inability to eat anything other than gruel. His father Henry VII is worried; the country really, really doesn't need another war! But luckily Prince Henry recovers from his mysterious ailment, regains his ability to eat solid food, and history resumes its OTL course with no major disruptions; except that this severe case of mumps has left Prince Henry completely infertile. With no wife, no mistress, no woman will he ever have children.
History will start diverging from OTL around 1510 when Catharine of Aragon never does get pregnant. (Neither does Elizabeth Blount, for that matter.)
Effects?
