I've had this idea in my head for the past few days now, and I think it's time it got put down.

The POD for this TL is Lord Stanley charging for Richard III instead of Henry VII at Bosworth, and Henry being cut down in the charge (in a reversal of OTL's events).

Richard III proves to be a fairly competent ruler, and rules the country with a firm-but-fair hand. He puts down various Lancastrian-inspired revolt and imprisons the rebellious Margaret Beaufort. He doesn't re-marry, and when he dies the throne passes to his nephew, John de la Pole.

John II is an average ruler, who aspires to great things but is slightly too impatient to actually carry them out. He marries Anne St. Leger, and they have Princess Mary, Princess Elizabeth, and Prince Edward. Princess Mary is married off to Philip the Handsome of Burgundy. However, Prince Edward dies young, and John has no more boys...

Yes, a Habsburg England.
