henry vii

I know who I am crazy to start another TL when I am already writing other two (and I have more in the works who will be published sooner or later) but this stopry truly wanted written… Hopefully it will be a shorter TL more like Henry VIII’s heiress than my others but we will see what will...

What if (King) Arthur, Henry Duke of York and Edmund Duke of Somerset all survive to adulthood? I am most interested in Edmund, as he is the biggest question mark of the bunch... For the sake of the scenario, I will say that Arthur still marries Catherine of Aragon and both survive their...

Catherine of Aragon and his oldest Daugther Elizabeth The marriage of Arthur and Catherine is actually consummated, the young prince Arthur dies as OTL and it is discovered that Catherine is pregnant, finally on July 25, 1502 she gives birth to twin girls who are named Elizabeth and Mary. Three...

Let's say that in 1457, Margaret Beaufort gives birth to a daughter that she names after herself and the queen. Little Margaret Tudor's royal connections are tenous but she's countess of Richmond in her own right as well as a potential heiress of the Beaufort estate. What are her marriage...

Richard III is probably one of England's most infamous kings. Having come to power by usurping his own nephew, he was the last Yorkist King to reign. During the decisive Battle of Bosworth Field, in a great gamble, Richard III personally charged, along with 1,000 horsemen, across the battlefield...

In OTL Arthur, Prince of Wales and Catherine of Aragon got sick not too long after their wedding in 1502. While Catherine recovered, Arthur died in that same year. But What if Henry, Duke of York (OTL Henry VIII) also caught the unspecified Illness and died in 1503? 1. This leaves Margaret...

On this day, Henry VII passed away at the age of 52. He was succeeded by his son, Henry VIII who broke his betrothal to Eleanor of Austria and married Catherine of Aragon instead. As we all know, this led to the King’s Great Matter and the split between the Church of England and the Catholic...

A very large thank you to both @RedKing and @Cate13 who discussed my TL with me and helped me sort out how the family tree will end up. Some of the beautiful chaos going forward can definitely be attributed to some of their ideas :) TL/PoD: what if Elizabeth of York and Henry VII's children had...

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...

As is well known, Henry VII was a paranoid King and understandably so (having spent years in exile and with his life at risk). But what if, for some reason, Henry VII was less or not paranoid at all? Let say this starts from the start of his reign and lasts through it. What changes? His early...

There were rumours, that knight Roland de Velville was Henry's illegitimate son, whom he had with some 'Breton lady'. That claim is baseless, although I've seen threads inspired by that story and going even further-Henry marries that Breton woman and has legitimate son with her. That would...

The marriage of Henry Tudor and Elizabeth of York was meant to join the houses of Lancaster and York together and end the Wars of the Roses. Henry did not fulfill his promise to wed Elizabeth until near five months after winning the crown in battle, and his wife was not formally crowned as queen...

Westminster, London, Autumn of 1489 "Henry. Queen Elizabeth of York is dead." told Lady Margaret Beaufort to her son, King Henry Tudor of England. "She died giving birth to a girl, a healthy, beautiful baby girl." she smiled weekly. Margaret had grown a certain fondness for her Yorkist...

What would happen if the deaths and lives of the children of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York were switched? How different would be the situation with only Elizabeth, Edmund and Katherine living?

So what if Edward of Middleham lived, let's say he is healthier than OTL or survives his bout with tuberculosis (whichever of the two was his problem), what would the effects be? Would Richard still be accused of murdering Anne Neville so that he could marry Elizabeth of York if Middleham lives...

I have been thinking about this scenario for a while now. Suppose someone close to Edward V but with limited political power (e.g. his brother Richard Grey) would know a year before the death of Edward IV how things would develop, how could he have changed things? The mechanics behind why...

The title says it all. The POD here is that the Lancastrians win the Battle of Tewkesbury (Edward IV and George of Clarence are killed, while Richard escapes to Burgundy). Henry VI then dies in 1472 and is succeeded by Edward of Westminster, who restores the Beauforts to the succession, and then...

According to The First of the Tudors Henry VII during his youth while still in England, was extremely taken with his native roots in Wales, could speak rudimentary welsh and throughout his entire life, he was extremely pro-welsh. Indeed, Wales as a whole developed on a whole different level...

As the title says, with a POD in 1457 or later, switch the reputations of Richard III and Henry VII. In other words, have Richard III be remembered as good (or even great) King who brought peace to England, followed prudent policies, though is often maligned as a miser, while Henry VII is...

In OTL, Henry VII of England led an army of 12,000 to France in 1492, and laid siege to Boulogne. The siege lasted less than a month, as Charles VIII of France wanted to make peace with England so he could focus on planning his invasion of Italy. But what if Henry VII held out and managed to...
