Chapter One. An heir is born. 1511 On January 1, 1511, bells rang out throughout England, especially in London, announcing the good news. Because on that day, about thirty minutes after one in the morning, Henry VIII's wife, Catherine of Aragon, gave birth to a son! Catherine, of Spanish...

I have seen many threads talk about the implications of Catherine of Aragon dying along with Arthur, Prince of Wales or after the birth of Mary Tudor, but I haven't seen many that portray her death in 1511. In this TL, I speculate she'd die shortly after giving birth to Henry Tudor, Duke of...

In otl, Frances Brandon had a son in 1556 with her second husband Adrian Stokes, although the child was stillborn. But what if he lived? How would he impact the English succession? On one hand, he's the only English-born male heir who is eligible for succession under the Third Succession Act but...

Who would succeed Elizabeth I if she was the last legitimate descendant of Henry VII alive at her death? James VI and I dies in 1593. Arbella Stuart dies in 1592. Edward Seymour dies in 1585. Thomas Seymour dies in 1584. Ferdinando Stanley infertile, dies in 1594. William Stanley dies in 1595...

In 1501, Arthur, the next in line for the English throne, married Catherine of Aragon to secure an alliance between England and Spain. Then, in 1502, Arthur died. The rest is history. Arthur's brother, Henry VIII, becomes the heir to the throne and marries his brother's widow, divorcing her for...

Just floating around an idea I randomly thought of for a possible TL (I’m not the best at creating but I just wanted to get some ideas down). In this ATL, Henry VIII died on schedule, however, his son Edward VI died in late October/early November 1547–forever known to historians as the "Nine...

“She’s pulled through!” “I came in here in the morning and she was up complaining for her food!” “Truly a miracle” “The lord is on that child’s side” “A prophet of god” Mary heard all the servants gossip but she didn’t care. She wanted her food. “I WANT MY PORRIDGE!!!!!!!” Not a lot of people...

The young girl sat in the bed with her son and daughter in her arms and a smirk on her face. She had won the battle

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...

Would it lead to a Catholic USA?

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...

"...members of the Royal Family, today eulogized Peter Butterworth, the personal confessor to the late King Edward X. Born into poverty in rural Cheshire, Butterworth rose steadily through the ranks of the church, becoming an ordained minister by the age of 20. He became acquainted with his...

H8 dying earlier (usually in jousting accident) was done many times. Especially with him dying in 1536. But depending of part of that year we can have very different outcomes. Why December (late December-I want Henry to have some nasty accident between Christmas and New Year)? Because of...

How different history of British would have been had James IV of Scotland survived Battle of Flodden? But here's the- instead of beign killed, James is either recognised or pacified by chance and captured by english forces. Flodden is still enormus defeat for Scots, most of leaders and nobility...

Suppose Henry VIII gets defeated and captured during his 1544 invasion of France, how might the French have dealt with him? A huge ransom would have been a must, but would he somehow have been forced to recant and return England to the authority of the Pope? In regards to this, I don’t think...

What if Anne Boleyn died for her 1534 miscarriage, leaving Henry VIII as widower with only a small daughter as heiress? Here Henry VIII has NOT yet tired of Anne, and she was dead while Catherine was still alive meaning who Henry need to remarry quickly for a son and Elizabeth’s legitimacy can...

Catherine of Aragon had 6 confirmed pregnancies, Anne Boleyn 4, Jane Seymour 1 and Bessie Blount had one son by Henry too. There are theories and some evidence than Jane made have had 1/2 miscarriages, and Katheryn Howard may also have suffered 1. A possible number of Henry’s children is as...

In 1528, Catherine of Aragon, the Queen of England had died and Henry VIII was considering an annulment to the pope so that he can marry his own love, Anne Boleyn prior to her death, who he had already in his side and wanted to marry after his own annulment. Catherine of Aragon died in 1528 and...

"The marriage of Maria of Aragon to James IV of Scotland would take place on the 18th of June 1500, a little more than a week before Maria's birthday and just a month prior the death of Miguel de Paz, the heir apparent to Portugal, Castile and Aragon. Miguel's death left his father, King Manuel...

PART 1: THE REIGN OF HENRY VIII (1516 - ) "My Spanish Pomegranate went into birth in the twilight hours of the 17th of February 1516, while the rest of the court and I eagerly awaited news of her birth and her survival, for I could not bear to lose her, but alas, in the small hours of the 18th...
