A Forced Peace

An illustration of the City of Malacca

I



The expedition arrived in Malacca in September 1509 and immediately De Sequeira sought to contact the Chinese merchants in the harbor, who then invited him aboard one of their trade junks and received him very well for dinner and arranged him a meeting with Sultan Mahmud. The Sultan promptly granted the Portuguese authorization to establish a feitoria and provided a vacant building for that purpose. Wary of the threat that the Portuguese posed to their interests, however, the powerful merchant communities of Muslim Gujaratis and Javanese convinced Sultan Mahmud and the Bendahara to betray and capture the Portuguese.


The Gujaratis or Indians informed of the cruelty and shrewdness in battle of the Portuguese and their tactics and for that reason, the Gujaratis would inform the Chinese and the other Indians that the Portuguese are holding and occupying cities and their city might be the next and that the Portuguese are intolerant of any religion other than their own.


Due to this information the Malaccans were able to sway away the sympathy of the people against the Portuguese.



On 1511, when Albuquerque landed and tried to sign peace with the Malaccans, there was a hesitation from the King to release the Portuguese captives, when the Portuguese tried to seize the city, however even if they had more strategy comibined with Armada the people of Malacca including the Merchants rallied to the Sultan causing the Portuguese to be defeated



The formal peace with the Portuguese in 1510, the Portuguese were demanded to withdraw their ambitions from Malacca, the future attempts of Portuguese in Malacca obliterated by the Acehnese who also had interests in Malacca.


The peace has negative and positive consequences to both Portugal and the Malaccans - as the Acehnese were about to gain power.



Note:

One of the butterflies here is that Enrique of Malacca, the informant of Magellan is not captured in Malacca due to a peace being signed..so Magellan's expedition is butterflied completely.

On 1509, Margaret of Austria was asked to marry again even due to her vow in this time to the duke of Saxony or the King of England Henry VII, since the duke of Saxony, the Duke of Saxony was persistent and wanted to marry her causing her to seek protection, however, she would chose the Duke of Savoy, Charles III related to her former husband, the marriage was given dispensation by Pope Julius II.


She was said that even if she did not want to marry she felt unsafe if she remains single and those persistent suitors might just kidnap her, so she decided to marry a groom that represents her interests, since she loved her second husband, she decided to be near the memories of her old husband and that is marryng Duke Charles III


she would bear Margherita of Savoy b. 1510, Emanuele(Emmanuel) of Savoy b. 1512, Carlo(Charles), duke of Aosta b. 1514 and Caterina of Savoy b. 1516, named after Catherine of Aragon later in the marriage in Margaret would be the regent of the Netherlands in 1520 causing her to separate from her husband.



She is known as the lady in mourning and she would be the regent of both the Netherlands and is the recognized ruler of Franche Comte as she was elected ruler there earlier in 1506, and confirmed in 1509, on 1520, she became the patron of arts and became the ambassadress of the Habsburgs to France, she would visit her children in Savoy if she is able to.


She retired in Savoy in 1540 after wherein she was replaced by Margaret of Parma, her namesake and illegitimate daughter of her nephew, she would die in Savoy in 1545.


Note:

I think Margaret of Austria deserves some comfort and family after the hardships she had been through in her life so I gave her a family in this TL..

Anne of Navarre from the Tudors
III

On 1515, the King of England chose to go himself in France to fetch Mary, the dowager, Queen of France, since he found out that Brandon actually loved Mary and the Henry decided that Mary should marry another man, Francis of Bourbon, Count of St. Pol so that the alliance of France and England would continue Henry was in France while Catherine his wife who was pregnant was his regent at that time.


When Henry came back in 1516, Catherine of Aragon was heavily pregnant and gave birth to Mary of England in February of 1516.


On the same time as her niece was in process of marrying, Catherine became pregnant again, and gave birth to a set of twins in November1518, the labor was difficult to her, the set of twins were a girl and a boy one named Henry, duke of Cornwall, one Isabella of England.


Henry, duke of Cornwall would die with his mother, Catherine of Aragon a day after, Catherine of Aragon gave birth to twins, Catherine of Aragon died at age 33, worn out in giving birth.


After the death of Catherine of Aragon, it was revealed the Henry VIII never really mourned at the death of his wife but rather choose to spit at her legacy and negotiated with Francis I at his interests in marrying Anne of Navarre married Anne of Navarre, a Navarrese Infanta, who is younger that her husband, she is just 27 at her marriage with Henry VII, the marriage is dangerous to the French as it meant that the English might regain Gascony if her brothers died without issue, Renee of France is married to Henry II of Navarre on 1521.

Anne of Navarre would later gave birth to a daughter named Elizabeth on 1521 and a daughter named Margaret on 1524 and a sickly son named Edward on 1528 who would outlive his father but is barren.


Note: chose to rewrite the TL due to certain reason, I don't like radical butterflies..

Ferdinand Magellan

IV
Ferdinand Magellan would remain loyal to Manuel I of Portugal because he had no idea on circumnavigating the world and he would have no correspondence to the east and he would be loyal to the ideas of Manuel I of Portugal, and if he wants an alternative route to the East he would not have gained the idea and gather data since he has no indentured servant to talk to in order to make his plans to happen and for that reason Magellan remains loyal to Manuel I of Portugal, and for that reason the circumnavigation of the world will be delayed, Magellan would rather innovate and be known as a part of the trade of Portugal in the East.


Meanwhile in the other side of the world the land of Sugbu and the other parts of the Visayan archipelago are waiting for a protector against the Maranao and Tausug raiders, while the North in the island of Selurong would be divided into the two pagan states of Selurong and Kaboloan and the pagan city states that slowly converting to islam that like Faru, Bigan, Tondo, Makabebe and Kalumpit after the end of the Majapahit Empire in 1527, however the Japanese-Javanese trade that the Majapahit started would continue via the merchants and wukou and the southern part of the island is more heavily into Islam because the Bruneians have already made islam the religion in Kota Selurong the bruneian town in the Selurong bay, Balayan as well as the other towns in the coasts of Kumintang.

Francis I of France, Holy Roman Emperor

V

On 1519, Since the destruction of Tenochtitlan was such as victory to Charles, Prince of Asturias and Hernan Cortez, the Spanish would begin on the introduction of Corn in the Spanish market, starting the columbian exchange.


The Spanish has since had conquered the Mexica Triple alliance, Charles I, King of Castile and Aragon already had his own source of power and money from the other side of the world, however, the threat for his rule was the revolts in Spain, who called him the Ugly Prince.


On 1519, Charles, Grandfather, Maximilian had died, his ally, Henry VIII is no longer his ally since his Aunt Catherine of Aragon is already dead in 1518 giving birth and Henry VIII is now married to a French Princess, particularly to a Navarrese Infanta Anne of Navarre, the marriage would cause, the end of the alliance between England and Spain and Austria, weakening his fight in the elections of the Emperor, the position of his own grandfather, Maximilian who just died recently, since Francis I had already bribed a lot of Electors, he was able to win the votes of the electors of Mainz, Brandenburg and Palatinate.


In the end, Francis I of France was elected the Holy Roman Emperor instead of Charles I, the King of Castile and Aragon was shocked and did not think that a King of France can defeat him, since earlier he had already lost his alliance with Henry VIII and now the crown of his own grandfather this was the end for his german ambitions, this is said to be a forced peace.

the Spanish opposition to him were adamant that they are choosing Ferdinand as successor of Queen Joanna of Aragon and Castile if he will focus on his german possessions and due to this Charles, the Prince of Asturias will sign off to Ferdinand the control of Austria, Burgundy and the Netherlands in order to please the comuneros, the nobles and people of Castile.

The Sugbuanon Hero Lapu Lapu

VI


According to the epic Aginid, this was the period in which Lapu-Lapu (as Lapulapu Dimantag) was first recorded as arriving from Borneo. He asked Humabon for a place to settle, and the king offered him the region of Mandawili (now Mandaue), including the island known as Opong (or Opon), hoping that Lapu-Lapu's people would cultivate the land. They were successful in this, and the influx of farm produce from Mandawili enriched the trade port of Sugbo further.


The relationship between Lapu-Lapu and Humabon later deteriorated when Lapu-Lapu turned to piracy. He began raiding merchant ships passing the island of Opong, affecting trade in Sugbo. The island thus earned the name Mangatang ("those who lie in wait"), later evolving to "Mactan".


Lapu-lapu was one of the two datus of Mactan before the Spanish arrived in the archipelago, the other being a certain Zula, both of whom belong to the Maginoo class. Lapu- Lapu refused to follow Humabon as his superior as the Ruler of Cebu.


On 1522, the Rajahnate of Cebu would be invaded by Tausug pirates from Sultanate of Sulu causing Lapu Lapu to act against the Sultanate of Sulu, Rajah Humabon would subject himself, however, Lapu Lapu would fight against the Tausug pirates causing the expulsion of the Tausug Pirates.

Beach in Manuelinhas
VII

On 1520, the Portuguese would complete their conquests of Ilhas Manuelinhas(OTL Nicobar and Andaman) which they started to conquer since after their disastrous attempt at Malacca and they had continued their missions in Java and Sumatra and because of that there is a substantial population of Christians in Sunda, the Ilhas Manuelinhas would be a stop over of the Portuguese trade in the Indian Ocean.


On 1527, the Portuguese would acquire Bali as a protectorate with Magellan as the negotiator due to muslims having destroyed the Majapahit Empire, however Sunda itself is more islam so the protectorate option did not appeal to the Sundanese as they wanted although a fortress was built in 1525.


Due to the gradual christianization of Bali and the gradual dominion of the Christians and Muslims in Sunda , some the Hindus of Java and Bali sought refuge in Kalimantan and in the Northern half of Selurong, particularly in the Faru area and Selurong Bay in Kalumpit area.

Meanwhile, Bona Sforza would betroth her youngest daughter Kunigunde b. 1530 to the second son of Louis II, Casimir b. 1529, who would receive Silesia as his wedding gift, Louis II’s first son and successor is Charles, later Charles II of Bohemia b. 1527, this was her own consolation in her attempt to gain Opole, this also would help the Poles in Silesia in the future in their own awakening in the future as the Kingdom of Bohemia had became more German, aside the fact that the liturgical literature and the language that the Catholic and Lutheran Poles in Silesia is Polish.

A Sulu sea island
XI


The muslims would multiply in Faru and Kalumpit more and the muslim migrants would increase in number, the missionaries and settlers from Java and Aceh would increase their number in coastal Selurong since the 1530's causing the start of the heavy islamization of the coastal regions not just the cities in Faru and the Selurong bay regions, by the late mid 16th century the coasts of the island of Selurong would be muslim, the city states of the Northern Selurong, Kaboloan and the Kingdom of Selurong are interdependent of each other since these states are formerly under Majapahit, the area is dominated by the Balagtas clan who rule both the Kingdoms of Selurong and Kaboloan, forming Selurong which was a realm formerly under the rule of Majapahit and the states there were vassals of Majapahit, the other name of Selurong is Gintu or Suvarnadvipa.


The muslims becoming majority in the coasts due to prosetylation and migration would drive the future Hindu and Pagan migrations and the current settlers inland particularly to the Kingdoms Kaboloan and Selurong starting the mid-16th century.


The rulers of the Kingdoms of Selurong and Kaboloan are a branch of the royalty of Majapahit that are directly descended from Raden Wijaya from his first unnamed and unrecorded wife, it is a longtime rumor that Raden Wijaya was able to gain assistance with the mongols due to the said wife.


Meanwhile the Bruneians would increase their control of the Kawit and Kumintang towns in the coastal Southern half of the Island of Selurong as well of the Kota Selurong area.


In Maguindanao in Maranon Sharif Kabungsuwan is succesful in forming and carving his sultanate due to his marriage to a Maranao Princess and the people would start to convert to Islam.


The area between the land of Selurong and the land of Maranon or the land of of Pisheya the Pisheyans especially the Madya-as and the Cebu remain hostile to the muslims.


note: to those not aware of the term Selurong, the Kingdom of Selurong is known as Tondo in OTL and the Island of Selurong is OTL Luzon..Aparri is known as Faru.

Riviere de Saint Lawrence in Etat Union


XII

Mary of England would give birth to sons to Afonso, Crown Prince of Portugal, Charles b. 1549, Henry b. 1552 and Edward b. 1556 and a daughter named Catherine b. 1558.


Mary of England would assign Infante Henry as the heir to England if her brother Edward VI has no heirs of his own and for that reason Mary, would always hope that she would inherit her brothers kingdom


In the meantime Maria of Viseu would become the Queen of France and produce heirs of her own with Francis III, duke of Brittany/ Francis II of France, they would have strong and sturdy male heirs, Prince Henry b. 1545 and Prince Alphonse b. 1550 and two daughters Anne b. 1542 and Marie b. 1552, before Maria of Viseu would marry the later king and the Duke of Brittany, Catherine of Austria married Francis I after the death of Claude of France in 1524, Catherine of Austria married Francis I on 1525 which was part of complete peace negotiations between Charles I of Spain and Francis I of France.


while Francis II’s brother would be the duke of Auvergne and Count of Boulogne with his wife Catherine de Medici,


The efforts of Francis I in America would bear fruit due to some of the people in France would migrate there however initially it would be male dominated migration creating a Metis population, the Danes and Huguenots would migrate to that area as well.


In this time the French Americas would include two provinces or colonies namely New Brittany(Nouvelle Bretagne)(OTL New Brunswick and Acadia),Quebec and Nouvelle Anjou(OTL New York area).


The areas of New Brittany, Nouvelle Anjou and Quebec would later form the basis and core of the new country named Etats Union or rather to the English it would be known as the Union of States.

Charles I of Spain

XIII

One of the Children of Charles I of Spain, was Philip, Prince of Asturias b. 1523 who became married to Elisabeth of England, the eldest daughter of Henry VIII and Anne of Navarre upon the suggestion of Isabella of England.


The taxes collections of the Flemish was lost once Charles I chose to give up his territories and ambitions in Germany and married Isabella of Portugal in 1522, the war and rivalry ended on the marriage of Catherine of Austria and Francis I on 1525, a peace was signed because Claude of France conveniently died, apparently Charles I felt sorry about Claude since Claude was betrothed to Charles himself and he was forced to give up Navarre as well.


He was known for his affair to his older cousin Germaine of Foix who was once married to his grandfather, Germaine de Foix was not married and kept in close of Charles I since the purpose of the marriage betweenn Charles I and Isabella was dynastic.


the Kingdom of Charles I got rich due to the conquests of Mexica and Tawantisuya, by Cortez and Pizarro, the new money can be used used to start new crusades against the muslims in the south in africa or rather find a way to contact the Eastern countries in the future and trade with the Chinese, particularly the Ming Dynasty.

note
Charles I is known best for being ugly, so he is known as his ugliness by the people who hate him..

Legaspi Strait

XV

During the second half of the reign of Charles I and term of Philip II of Spain b. 1524 he would want to have relation with the Ming China since 1540’s, due to this the Spanish would marry Maria Manuela to Philip II hoping that Spain would inherit the Portuguese Empire and its Asian colonies, however, Infante Alfonso and Mary of England and Isabella of England and Luis of Beja would have children giving Spain zero chances to inherit Portugal.


Maria Manuela would die of Hemorrhage in 1550 after giving birth to her second child Eleanor (the first child of Maria Manuela is Carlos b.1545) forcing Philip I to marry Elizabeth of England, , a very attractive bride to him, the Duke of Orleans had tried to marry Elizabeth but ended up failing and ended up marrying Margaret of England in 1544.



On 1560 the Spanish discovers the Freezing Northwest of Americas and names the land as Carolinas[1], the exploration is led by Miguel Lopez de Legaspi, the other side of the strait was also colonized by Legaspi, the strait was known as Legaspi Strait[2], known natively as Imakplik.




On 1565, the Spanish led by Legaspi could contact Japan and start trade with them.

1. includes OTL Alaska and parts of OTL RFE
2. OTL Bering Strait
