Hi, I'm dealing with the XVIth century for the first time.
I started a project but I had some questions and I was expecting a bit of help in here.

One of the first is this;
(This case is based on a thread I saw here long ago)
° Anne Boleyn has two babies in 1534, Edward and Margaret Tudor.
It's evident Henry VIII will stay with her after she gives birth to his son, but, how will the succession be dealt with if...

Henry dies in battle during 1544, Edward VI dies in 1547 after an accident. So, the succession would be disputed between Mary Tudor (Katherine's daughter) and Elizabeth (Anne's daughter).

I read that Mary was seen as the legitimate heir to the throne, but what would happen in this scenario?
I think Elizabeth would win, after all, Mary could be forced to recognize herself as "illegitimate" but she had considerable support but...Well, Anne hates her.

Thanks!
(Excuse me if my English isn't good enough or if this scenario is too implausible)
