    WI: Philip II and Mary I had a single son

    Remarrying to your dead spouse's sibling as a substitute to continue the alliance is not so very rare in this time period (e.g. Miguel of Portugal remarrying to Maria of Aragon after her sister and his wife Isabel died). That's why we have dispensations, and that's why Ferdinand thought it...

    The Sinking Ship, the Grand Applause - A Mary I of England TL

    I'm surprised he didn't go down with Henry's ship. What about Cranmer?

    The Sinking Ship, the Grand Applause - A Mary I of England TL

    Technically, she could still sign as Catherina R as she's still dowager queen, but signing as Mater Reginae is also nice. Where is Cromwell?

    Hi, yes, I was summoned?

    Jane Seymour does not die in childbirth

    Ah, the problem there is that this Elizabeth was never acknowledged, unlike our Elizabeth. Actually, no. Neither Elizabeth nor Mary were ever legitimized again after their parents’ marriages were annulled, they were only just restored to the succession while remaining illegitimate. And Anne’s...

    Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    Well, they do get married, but this Henry's own thoughts on religion reflects that of Henry VIII's so he doesn't really force Mary to do anything. Wait, we have that now?

    Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    Nah, it's a frivolous half-cooked idea of Edward forcing Mary to marry his non-entity uncle to break down her Catholicism.

    Jane Seymour does not die in childbirth

    Honestly, kind of unlikely for both of them, with Henry having a lot of spares running about from Jane. He could still do the equivalent of the Third Act, though, if he wants them to make Continental matches.

    Jane Seymour does not die in childbirth

    The bastard bit I think would depend more on who's been set up in her household and how they tell her about her mother.

    Jane Seymour does not die in childbirth

    Oh, now I want this to happen

    Jane Seymour does not die in childbirth

    Yeah, Philip is still way too young for Mary. Why not France? Charles d’Orléans is still in the market.

    Jane Seymour does not die in childbirth

    For Elizabeth, who doesn't have foreign backing, maybe. Charles would raise a fuss if Mary marries anyone below an Earl, so Blount is out of the question. Speaking of which, do we think the Queen's brother would still try to fool around with Elizabeth ITTL? And what happens to the Poles?

    Jane Seymour does not die in childbirth

    Except Marie de Guise is alive and well ITTL so James isn’t free to marry Mary also I honestly can’t seen Jane being a pushover here especially since she has several sons, whereas IOTL the dormouse attitude was most likely just a ruse to keep Henry placated until she gives him what he wants and...

    Jane Seymour does not die in childbirth

    Not really, the thing that made Henry remind her about Anne's fate was the Pilgrimage of Grace, which is only partly because of religious reform, and her trying to convince him to restore Mary's legitimacy. The truth is we don't know what could have happened had Jane survived to have more heirs.

    Jane Seymour does not die in childbirth

    Not necessarily, since if we follow Isabella's OTL death, Mary would only be 23. Hardly too old, though I really can't see Henry allowing it.

    Our Lady of Aragon: An Alternate History of "The King's Great Matter"

    So Catherine has a surprise pregnancy during the Great Matter?

    Our Lady of Aragon: An Alternate History of "The King's Great Matter"

    Queen Mother implies Mary's daughter (at least that's who I'm assuming this is), abdicated in favor of her child around 1600.
