That's a fair assessment - I assumed she might be more protective over her only child. That was a screw up on my end. I meant to kill him off earlier - that's been fixed. Joseph I died when she was 13 so I kind of don't think they'd be a good match age wise, Charles VI married when she was 10...

I considered that, but I thought lower first wife chosen during the Catherine of Braganza regency to try and maintain power, high born second wife chosen by the son. I pictured her being considered for higher matches (Spain, Portugal, Austria, ect., ending on Hanover), but married off to the...

Sure! Juan III, King of Castile and Aragon (b.1478: d.1555) m. Margaret, Archduchess of Austria (b.1480: d.1532) (a), Marguerite, Princess of France (b.1523: d.1574) (b) 1a) Isabella, Infanta of Castile and Aragon (b.1498: d.1500) 2a) Ferdinand, Prince of Asturias (b.1501: d.1523) m...

I’m not quite sure but likely a minor German Princess.

Good for Beatriz but I can’t imagine this is the end of Anne Boleyn.

Scenario: Catherine of Braganza gets one win. Charles II, King of England, Ireland, and Scotland (b.1630: d.1685) m. Catherine of Braganza, Infanta of Portugal (b.1638: d.1705) (a) 1a) Charles III Louis, King of England, Ireland, and Scotland (b.1674: d.1744) m. Sophie Angelika of...

I’m imagining that a stronger Lancastrian succession keeps the Yorks from taking the throne, as Humphrey likely isn’t charged/framed with treason without the Eleanor Cobham debacle. His remarriage to a cousin of the Queen’s keeps everyone close without tying him to any domestic allies that could...

Scenario: The children of Eleanor Cobham. Humphrey of Lancaster, Duke of Gloucester (b.1390: d.1454) m. Jacqueline, Countess of Hainaut (b.1401: d.1436) (a) -annulled 1428-, Eleanor Cobham (c.1400: d.1436) (b), Margaret of Baden (b.1431: d.1457) (c) 1b) Alice of Lancaster (b.1436: d.1502) m...

Scenario: Louis XII lives 10 years longer. Louis XII, King of France (b.1462: d.1525) m. Jeanne, Princess of France (b.1464: d.1505) (a) -annulled 1498-, Anne I, Duchess of Brittany (b.1477: d.1514) (b), Mary Tudor, Princess of England (b.1496: d.1532) (c) 1b) Claude I, Duchess of Brittany...

I couldn’t decide on 1542 or 1544. And apparently I forgot to put back in the 4.

Sure - go ahead! I was testing some ideas for my own timeline and I’m not going to use them all.

Scenario: Henry II of France dies before having children. I might be a little wacko here. Francois I, King of France (b.1494: d.1547) m. Claude I, Duchess of Brittany (b.1499: d.1524) (a), Eleanor, Archduchess of Austria (b.1498: d.1558) (b) 1a) Louise, Princess of France (b.1515: d.1518) 2a)...

Very happy Renee chose to use her head over losing it.

Mary Lassells was incredibly put out to have been moved from the Queen’s ladies post-birth to the employ of the Duchess of Suffolk. Maybe it hadn’t been a smart move to call the King’s current mistress a “two-faced slut” in an argument on her first week at court, but Lady Cromwell was both an...

Scenario: Katherine Grey married Arran. Katherine Grey (b.1540: d.1592) m. James Hamilton, Earl of Arran (b.1537: d.1609) (a) 1a) James Hamilton, Duke of Arran and Suffolk (b.1563: d.1607) m. Elizabeth Douglas (c.1578: d.1621) (a) 1a) Jean Hamilton (b.1594) 2a) George Hamilton, Duke of...
