This post has a similar premise to another post of mine from a few months ago In January 1502, shortly after the marriage of the Prince of Wales with Catherine of Aragon, King Henry VII fell ill from sweating, preventing the newly married couple from leaving for Ludlow Castle, after a month and...

Catherine of Aragon bore three sons 1) Henry IX (1514-?) 2) Edward, Duke of York (1518-?) 3)John, Duke of Somerset (1521-?) How could Mary Tudor marry so many times? And who are the husbands that you can marry ?

Bessie Blount suffers a miscarriage, and Henry Fitzroy is never born. In 1524, Henry VIII suffers an accident that makes him lose the ability to have children. Mary is the only child that Henry will have, Henry will never divorce Catherine in this case, Henry will try to secure his line on the...

Say both Catherine and Arthur survive their sickness unscathed, and go on to have many kids. Who would these alternate heirs marry, and how would it compare to our world and Henry's kids? Alternate Issue; 1502, Elizabeth 1503, Mary 1504, Arthur 1506, Margaret 1507, Henry 1509, Edward 1510...

The inverse of my previous thread asking what if all of Henry's kids were girls :) Who would they marry? Would Henry still divorce Catherine, and if not would he remarry after her death in 1536? Would we not have an English reformation at all? Would Henry live longer, perhaps not having a...

Unlike Henry VIII, Robert (Henry) will be happy because he is the second son, and has nothing to do with the throne. He will establish a strong relationship with his brother Arthur because he reminds him of Edward Stark. When Arthur dies, Robert will grieve and remember the death of his parents...

“The death of Arthur, Prince of Wales in April 1502 at a mere fifteen years of age was a devastating blow for the fledgling Tudor dynasty, and the prince’s heartbroken parents. But all hope was not lost, for Arthur’s widow, Catalina, was with child and had thankfully not caught her husband’s...

Chapter 1 – The English Channel in October of 1532 It seemed like the storm had come out of nowhere. When the King of England had disembarked from Dover onboard the ship The Swallow the weather had been perfectly fine. The newly titled Marchioness of Pembroke, Anne Boleyn had come with him on...

In 1511 the prince of the new year survived to become a healthy and vivacious young man, King Henry VIII although fearful of having only one son and a daughter ended up legitimizing his bastard son Edward Fitzroy, but never sought to end his marriage. In 1527 the Prince of Wales would marry his...

set colour scheme to black to see text best :) OUR LADY OF ARAGON: An Alternate History of "The King's Great Matter" A statue of Catherine of Aragon, imagined weeping as Mary, mother of God (c. 1599) "It's you, it's you, it's all for you, everything I do, I tell you all the time, Heaven is...

Edmund Tudor, Duke of Somerset was the youngest son of King Henry VII, born 21 February 1499 and lived less than a year. In this scenario let's imagine that Henry, Duke of York has his destiny switched with his little brother. The Duke of York dies of a mysterious illness in June 1500, while his...

This is basically the opposite version of my previous post, during the marriage of Catherine of Aragon and Henry VIII, Catherine ended up getting pregnant six times of which four resulted in stillbirths, one in 1511 which produced a baby named Henry who lived less than 2 months and another that...

It was the year 1600 when William Shakespeare wrote the last of his grand histories and the crowning achievement of Marian drama. While Arthur is a history, it is just as often counted among the major tragedies, much like Richard III. In fact, the parallels with the latter are striking; both...

In 1518, Katherine of Aragon had a stillborn child, much to the disappointment of Henry VIII who began to lose faith in her ability to give him a son.

Tragedy rocked the English court when Prince Arthur of Wales died on April 2 1502. But his death was softened slightly by the Princess of Wales, Katherine of Aragon, being with child. Queen Elizabeth of York raced to her daughter-in-law's side, resolving to help the younger woman through this...

What are you doing? Well, hello to you too. I am starting a timeline that I will try and work on as much as possible. Why are you doing it? I tried making it into a simple Family Tree on List of Alternative Monarchs and Aristocratic Linerages, but it was becoming over grown and the footnotes...
