1549 - Part 2
1549
Under the influence of his wife Blanche, Louis d'Orléans converts to Protestantism. He keeps his conversion secret though, as Reformers are seen as a growing threat in France, but starts to correspond secretly with his long-estranged aunts Claude of Brittany, who although she remained a Catholic prones religious tolerance in her duchy, and Catherine, Queen of Scotland, who has officially converted.

In Constantinopolis, which has now become Byzantium again, both Ivan IV of Russia and Vladislaus III of Hungary claim the title of Eastern Roman Empire: the first one because he is the grandson of Sophia Palaiologina, the last Emperor's niece, the second one because he was the one who led the Crusaders to victory in the Battle of Constantinopolis.
After many discussions, it is agreed that Vladislaus's only daughter and heiress Katalin[1] will marry Ivan's second son Dmitri. The children are crowned joint Emperor and Empress, taking the regnal names Basil and Maria, with their fathers as regents.

Not the Eldest the second one; No one wants Moscovia to claim Costantinopolis.

Queen Eleanor might be another claimant.
 
Well to be honest I don't know much about Russian history. Why wouldn't they? But I can edit.

I'm not sure. I mean, she isn't descended from the Byzantine Emperors and she didn't take part to the Crusade.
The last Emperor gave his claim to Isabella and Ferdinand. Thus, Eleanor, as the senior heiress, would be heiress if one accepted his will.

Manuel is a very unlikely name for an English Prince.
Did the child survive? If so, gender and name?

Wait, which Emperor are you talking about? I mean the Byzantine Emperor - Constantine XI died when Isabella and Ferdinand were only 2 and 1 year(s) old, he just can't have given them his claim, especially as Aragon seems to have been of very little help to the Byzantine Empire before its fall.

Not the last Emperor, but the last male Heir, Andrea Paleologo son of Thomas, Constantine XI brother.

I see, but neither Ferdinand or Isabella used this claim and as Eleanor didn't take part to the Crusade, I don't know if she'd be considered, especially as she comes from the other side of Europe, when they have relatives of the last Emperor and Crusaders from much closer parts of the Empire available.

I agree with you.
