[1] In Henry VIII’s will, Elizabeth is named successor, as she is legitimate here because he mother dies in childbirth instead of execution. Mary, Margaret, and their forces manage to overtake London, which is under control of Dowager Queen Kathryn. Kathryn flees to France with her stepdaughter and daughter, abandoning England. The soldiers of London become disillusioned and surrender to Mary.
[2] In France, Princess Cecily, beautiful and regal, is betrothed to young Dauphin Francis, who has better heath than in OTL. An eventual invasion of England is promised to the furious Kathryn and the ambitious Elizabeth. This, of course, never comes. Kathryn marries a minor Baron and has seven more children, while Cecily finds happiness in a grand court as Dauphine and later as regent for her son. Elizabeth never marries, always waiting for the English reconquest that will never come. She dies, bitter and depressed, in France.
