Eleanor is already fourteen, Margaret Beaufort was younger

So Edmund and Margaret will live in Ireland? Good for them... Margaret Beaufort as Duchess of York and daughter-in-law of Richard III is genial...

The problem is: where you have EVER seen that antagonism of Elizabeth or her family in confront of Richard? And that part of Edward trusting Richard enough to make him Lord Protector is a total nonsense as the Lord Protector was de jure the first adult male in the line of succession. Th e...

Simnel was claiming to the be son of Edward IV and was crowned in Dublin as King Edward. He definitely was NOT claiming to be Richard of Shrewsbury. Add to this the fact who we can be pretty certain who Margaret of York supported two claimants around 15 years old (and who Warbeck was the second)...

Absolutely NOT true. Gloucester’s problems was who he was in a very shaky position in the possession of his holding (as consequence of what he and George had wanted done with the Warwick inheritance) and so he was extremely dependent from the royal favor. If both Edward IV and George Neville had...

Distant cousins also. Still a better example would be Mark Antony’s cousin, Lucius Julius Caesar who joined Pompey while his father was a supporter of his cousin Caesar. Wedding ties usually do not necessarily meant political alliances (see Octavia’s first wedding or the fact who Servilia’s son...

Agreed on Isabella, not so sure about Fernando: he will without doubt want his line on the thrones of Castile and Aragon, but if he can get Trastamara descendants as heirs he will likely try to do it...

😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹 More or less the sum of their relationship...

I think Fernando would be able to secure Aragon from his granddaughter as the Segorbe were loyal to him and the opposition from the Cortes NOT insurmountable, specially as both the possible candidates for the hand of Juan’s daughter (and also the unlikely third) would be acceptable to the Cortes...

Succession in Castile would NEVER be in doubt, while Aragon most likely would be contended between Juan’s daughter and the male heir aka Henry/Alfonso of Segorbe

😹😹😹😹😹😹😹 Henry is a lost cause... His inability to understand things and to stop Somerset’s machinations is the only reason for which he has lost his crown...

He has lost mine long time ago, around a certain battle...

Henry, Henry!!!!! You have still NOT yet learned who trusting Somerset is a very bad mistake? Also Richard would be very stupid to marry one of his daughters (and who? Margaret?) to the second son of the King of France (true who many believed who he would be his father’s heir instead of the...

Once restored to her place of future Queen of England, Eleanor will forgive the past offense. Still she will be smart enough to NOT trust Henry with her heart: theirs is a political match and she will NEVER forget that. Margaret had suffered a fate similar to that of her niece in France so she...

“Sometimes divine justice existed“ that was the first thought of Margaret of Burgundy, hearing who her beloved niece in the end had not truly shared her fate of political pawn, tossed on Europe’s chessboard, after losing to another the crown promised to her (and still today in her heart Charles...

Among the Optimates, they have some Cornelia or Emilia (but I guess who also another patrician, well connected girl work) available and of a good age to sacrifice as bride for Pompey?

Mary Tudor is more likely to marry Charles V. Miguel can marry either Eleanor or Isabella of Austria-Burgundy.

Not guaranteed who Isabel II will marry Miguel. Alfonso is just nine years older and a legitimate male Trastamara who would be another good match for little Isabel. Still the choice of husband for her will be limited to them (or, but is extremely unlikely, to Ferdinand of Calabria if Ferdinand...

Maybe, but NOT guaranteed. Miguel marrying Isabel mean who the Avis will rule over an united Spanish peninsula, but Isabel marrying Alfonso mean who the Trastamara would continue to rule Aragon and Castile

Still a wedding between Miguel and Isabel II is NOT a given here. Ferdinand will likely be happier with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfonso_de_Aragón_y_Portugal as husband for little Isabel and that would be a better solution for the inheritance of Aragon. Any claim of Miguel to the crown of...
