henry viii

As the title says, Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon switch dates, i.e. Henry VIII dies on January 7th 1536 while Katherine lives on until January 28th 1547. For Henry VIII this is quite simple. In January 1536 of otl he had a jousting accident that left him unconscious and many feared he would...

What if, rather than suffering injuries to his thigh after being hit with a misplaced lance and being thrown from his horse, he sustains injuries slightly to the side, leaving him infertile? I just had this thought, and it is fascinating to me. A male heir becomes an impossibility for one...

Original posts here. Dragon King The Many Wives, Mistresses and Children of King Henry VIII (1491-1577) The series’ title Dragon King derived from one of Henry VIII's badges, the Red Dragon of Cadwaladr. In 2015, History Channel 2 launched Dragon King, an ambitious TV series about the life...

This post has a similar premise to another post of mine from a few months ago, during the marriage of Catherine of Aragon and Henry VIII, Catherine ended up becoming pregnant six times, of which four resulted in stillbirths, one in 1511 that produced a baby named Henrique who lived less than 2...

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 ?

What if Henry VIII decided to effectively ask for the annulment of his wedding to Catherine of Aragon at the end of 1514?

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...

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...

Alternate Issue; To Catherine of Aragon, married 1509, annulled 1533 Mary, b. 1510 Elizabeth, b. 1511 Margaret, b. 1513 Catherine, b. 1514 Joan, b. 1516 Eleanor, b. 1518 To Elizabeth Blount, mistress Henriette, b. 1519 Acknowledged 1525, legitimised 1533 To Anne Boleyn, married 1533...

24th January 1536: Henry's neck is broken/chest is crushed by his falling forse during his jousting accident. 25th January 1536: After lingering on for another day, Anne receives the news that he has died and in shock, miscarries their son. Upon hearing that the King is dead with no male heir...

So, what if Howard had either given battle or agreed to join the rebels, and Henry had been killed when the rebels stormed London? Once Henry has been killed and it is evident within the month that the imprisoned Jane is not pregnant, Howard accepts the crown handed to him by the rebels...

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...

Just something fun I wanted to do, give the man obsessed with having kids and wives his wish. I challenge you to beat either number! I specifically went with higher born wives, so there is much room for the various lower nobles he married in our world, too. ------- 1 - Margaret of Angouleme...

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...

I've recently been reexploring a TL I was working on set in the early 16th century and this thought struck me. First, some background; François I was King of France in 1515-1547 and was a contemporary-rival of Henry VIII of England and Emperor Charles V. Under his reign France challenged the...

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...

So there’s a fic on ao3 where Anne suggests an annulment right before Henry is truly done with her. This leaves her mostly in Henry’s good graces (though sometimes Henry prefers Anne out of sight, out of mind) and Elizabeth as legitimate. The fic mostly focuses on Anne and Henry’s relationship...

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...

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...
