At three, Elizabeth of York had been briefly betrothed to George Neville in 1469. His father John later supported George's uncle the Earl of Warwick in rebellion against King Edward IV, and the betrothal was called off.

In 1473, Margaret of York gives birth to a son awaited by the duke of Burgundy, who is baptized as Philip.

In 1475, Louis XI agreed to the marriage of 9 year old Elizabeth of York and his son Charles, the Dauphin of France, she was named a Lady of the Garter in 1477, along with her mother and her paternal aunt Elizabeth of York, Duchess of Suffolk.

On 1175, Marie of Burgundy marries Maximilian of Austria, creating an alliance between Burgundy and Austria, however, Marie is forced to renounce her claims to the Valois-Burgundy inheritance.

Edward IV on January 1483 would sign a double marriage treaty between France and England where in Anne of Brittany would marry Edward V and Charles VIII would marry Elizabeth of York, for the marriage to happen is for Elizabeth of York to go to France and be educated there as soon as possible, so Elizabeth of York went to Paris in order to be acquainted and to know her future husband the Dauphin.

A Portrait of Elizabeth of York


II

On 9 April 1483, Elizabeth's father unexpectedly died and her younger brother, Edward V, ascended the throne. Her uncle, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, was appointed regent and protector of his nephews. Her mother, Elizabeth Woodville, tried to deny Gloucester his right to be Lord Protector and keep power within her family. Gloucester opted to take steps to isolate his nephews from their Woodville relations. He intercepted Edward V while he was travelling from Ludlow, where he had been living as Prince of Wales, to London to be crowned king. Edward V was placed in the royal residence of the Tower of London, ostensibly for his protection. Elizabeth Woodville fled with her younger son Richard and her daughters into sanctuary in Westminster Abbey. Gloucester asked to take Richard with him, so the boy could reside in the Tower and keep his brother Edward company. Elizabeth Woodville agreed.

Two months later, on 22 June 1483, Edward IV's marriage was declared invalid. It was claimed that Edward IV had at the time of his marriage to Elizabeth Woodville already been betrothed to Lady Eleanor Butler. Parliament issued a bill, Titulus Regius ("The Title of the King"), in support of this position. This measure legally bastardised the children of Edward IV, made them ineligible for the succession, and declared Gloucester the rightful king, with the right of succession of children of George, 1st Duke of Clarence another late brother of Gloucester, who had been attainted, already barred before. Gloucester ascended the throne as Richard III on 6 July 1483, and Edward V and his brother are believed to have disappeared shortly afterwards. Rumours began to spread that they had been murdered, largely from English enemies abroad.

When the titulus regius was signed, Elizabeth of York is engaged to Charles VIII, the dauphin, while after the death of Edward V, Anne of Brittany was kidnapped and betrothed to Edward of Middleham.

It was decided that the marriage between Elizabeth of York and Charles VIII be celebrated on January 4, 1484 on Paris with Elizabeth Woodville who have fled to france and her other daughters who are in the french court as well and discussed about the fate of England, it is decided that like the Catholic Monarchs, Elizabeth of York will rule on her right once England has been liberated and she and Charles VIII would share powers as co-monarchs.

Charles VIII
III
Before the marriage between the Dauphin and Elizabeth of York has been finalized, she was able to meet with her sisters and talk about their marriages and she have decided what will happen to two of her sisters Mary and Cecily the two next to the succession after her

Elizabeth of York as Elizabeth I as the Queen in exile would decide that Louis, Duke of Orleans would marry her sister, Mary of York, her younger sister Cecily should marry Henry Tudor and Anne of York will marry James IV which she talked with her sisters.

After the marriage and between the Dauphin and Elizabeth of York, Elizabeth of York and the Dauphin had some contact with each other and it has been decided that Louis II, duke of Orleans will be released from her marriage from Charles VIII's sister Jeanne and have Louis II, duke of Orleans marry Mary of York, since Louis II was forced to marry it was easy to dissolve their marriage and send Jeanne of Valois to nunnery and marry Louis II, duke of Orleans to Mary of York on the latter part of the same year as Elizabeth of York on August 1484, in the case of Cecily, Elizabeth of York would send emissaries from the French court saying that James IV and Anne of York are betrothed and the two will marry once Elizabeth of York is reigning her rightful throne and Cecily is married to Henry Tudor in order to put him on their side.

On 1485 Elizabeth of York will hear of rumors that her brother is dead and readied herself of the possibility of reigning herself as queen of England in her own right, she heard that her own two brothers were smothered in their pillows and are dead.

Elizabeth of York would dismiss Anne de Beaujeu from the court when her Charles VIII was declared as capable to rule on his own on 1485, which had so much resentment in the court as Anne de Beaujeu served as the regent for so long and she would lament her fate and her sister, Jeanne's fate.

On March 4, 1486 The most awaited event, which was lavishly celebrated by the entire Kingdom of France was the birth of a son by Elizabeth of York, Queen of England, France and Lady of Ireland and Queen consort of France, the little Prince was christened with a great fast in Paris in the prescence of many lords and nobles. In Capetian Tradition he was given the name of his grandfather, Louis, Jeanne de Laval one of the godmothers and wife of Rene of Anjou added the name Orlando to his name.

A month after the birth of Louis Orlando, the Dauphin and Prince of Wales, Catherine of Aragon b. 1485, the youngest daughter of the Catholic Monarchs was chosen to marry Louis Orlando to settle the war between France and Spain and to settle the succession in England and included in the dowry is the Counties of Rousillon and Cerdagne.

Straits of Dover
IV

The Battle of Dover was the last significant battle of the Wars of the Roses, the civil war between the Houses of Lancaster and York that raged across England in the latter half of the 15th century. Fought on June 20, 1486, the battle was won by the French . Their lead general was Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, the husband of Cecily of York, by his victory aided the French in their conquest of England with the price of the Earldom of Richmond. His opponent, Richard III, the last king of the House of York, was killed in the battle. Historians consider Bosworth Field to mark the end of the Plantagenet dynasty, making it a defining moment of English and Welsh history.

Richard's reign began in 1483. At the request of his brother Edward IV, Richard was acting as Lord Protector for his son Edward V. Richard had Parliament declare Edward V illegitimate and ineligible for the throne, and took it for himself. Richard lost popularity when the boy and his younger brother disappeared after he incarcerated them in the Tower of London, and his support was further eroded by the popular belief that he was implicated in the death of his wife. Across the English Channel in Brittany, Henry Tudor, a descendant of the greatly diminished House of Lancaster, seized on Richard's difficulties so that he could challenge his claim to the throne. Henry's first attempt to invade England was frustrated by a storm in 1483, but on his second attempt he arrived unopposed on 7 August 1485 on the southwest coast of Wales. Marching inland, Henry gathered support as he made for London. Richard mustered his troops and intercepted Henry's army south of Market Bosworth in Leicestershire. Thomas, Lord Stanley, and Sir William Stanley brought a force to the battlefield, but held back while they decided which side it would be more advantageous to support.

Richard divided his army, which outnumbered Henry's, into three groups (or "battles"). One was assigned to the Duke of Norfolk and another to the Earl of Northumberland. Henry kept most of his force together and placed it under the command of the experienced Earl of Oxford. Richard's vanguard, commanded by Norfolk, attacked but struggled against Oxford's men, and some of Norfolk's troops fled the field. Northumberland took no action when signalled to assist his king, so Richard gambled everything on a charge across the battlefield to kill Henry and end the fight. Seeing the king's knights separated from his army, the Stanleys intervened; Sir William led his men to Henry's aid, surrounding and killing Richard. After the battle Charles VIII of France and his wife Elizabeth of York as Elizabeth I were crowned as co-monarchs.

Isabella of Aragon
V

Isabella of Aragon's marriage was to Prince Afonso, the only son and heir of king John II of Portugal from his marriage with Eleanor of Viseu. The wedding, by proxy, took place in the spring of 1490 in Seville. On 19 November of that year, Isabella arrived in Badajoz, where she was welcomed by Afonso's uncle Manuel, the future King Manuel I of Portugal, whom she would eventually marry six years after her husband's death. Afonso and Isabella were reunited in Elvas on 22 November and, on the following day, Isabella met her mother-in-law, Queen Eleanor, in the Convento do Espinheiro in Evora, where the court had gathered to ratify the marriage that had been celebrated earlier in Seville.

Though the marriage had been arranged by the Treaty of Alcacovas, the marriage quickly became a love match, Isabella would be revealed to be Pregnant in the early part of 1192. Isabella proved a popular figure with the Portuguese royal family due to her knowledge of their language and customs brought about by the years she spent in Portugal as a child.

On 1495, she would be the heiress after the death of her only brother John died due to consumption.

Prince Afonso was forbidden to joust and ride for a while in order to ensure that Afonso and Isabella would have a heir and spare.

Isabella of Aragon was quoted saying to her own husband that she really like fasting and abstinence and devoting herself to the lord rather than being queen, this is very much evident due to the Monarchs of Castile and Aragon being very pious and known for neutralizing Granada, and annexing it to Castile.

The Princess of Asturias would also devote herself to her son, John taking care of her and giving him the best of care.

The Princess of Asturias would resume her marital obligations on 1495, when she felt that she has already recovered from the pregnancy with Prince John, she would give birth to a daughter named Isabella b. 1496 and another son named Alfonso on 1499.

Majapahit Saludong
VI

On the other side of the world in 1490's, the Pinatubo mountain in Saludong, a part of Majapahit Empire would collapse and a few earth quakes would shock the island of Saludong, the Pinatubo Mountain would spew ash although the ash would also fade in few days.

The cone of Pinatubo would collapse and form a lake in its Caldera, the Kingdoms of Sapa(Kingdom of Tondo) and Kabolan would recover from the eruption of Mount Pinatubo and the merchants that trade in city states in Saludong such as Faru, Kalumpit and Tundun would remain and the rivers would recover fast in a few months restoring the flow of trade to Majapahit from the North in a manner of a decade, Bruneian, Sumatran and Javanese merchants, immigrants from as well as muslim missionaries from there would later immigrate to the mouth of Bannag and Pampanga rivers as the result of the fertility caused by the ash of Pinatubo eruption in the areas of the Trading cities of Faru and Makabebe.

In Java, the central province of Majapahit would experience a civil war which would result an usurper named Brawijaya VII would take the throne as King, which is opposed by the other Kingdoms in Java including Demak and Sunda which would mean that Majapahit would experience a long time of dispute, this would be won by the Sultan of Demak in 1520 but he lost the other vassal of Majapahit specially the Hindu ones.

No a union between France and England.

So we have fighting over who rules in England and then we have whether England or France is the senior partner in the relationship (while the nobles on both sides, along with the Dukes of Lorraine and Burgundy and Brittany [and maybe Normandy] are wanting to retain/regain their independence from France). Charlie Foxtrot, welcome to alt history.....

Young Catherine of Aragon
VIII
Catherine was born at the Archbishop's Palace in Alcala de Henares near Madrid, on the night of 16 December 1485. She was the youngest surviving child of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile. Catherine was quite short in stature with long red hair, wide blue eyes, a round face, and a fair complexion. She was descended, on her maternal side, from the English royal house; her great-grandmother Catherine of Lancaster, after whom she was named, and her great-great-grandmother Philippa of Lancaster were both daughters of John of Gaunt and granddaughters of Edward III of England. Consequently, she was fourth cousin of her mother-in-law Elizabeth of York.

Catherine was educated by a tutor, Alessandro Geraldini, who was a clerk in Holy Orders. She studied arithmetic, canon and civil law, classical literature, genealogy and heraldry, history, philosophy, religion, and theology. She had a strong religious upbringing and developed her Roman Catholic faith that would play a major role in later life. She learned to speak, read and write in Spanish and Latin, and spoke French and Greek. She was also taught domestic skills, such as cooking, dancing, drawing, embroidery, good manners, lace-making, music, needlepoint, sewing, spinning, and weaving. The great scholar Erasmus later said that Catherine "loved good literature which she had studied with success since childhood".

At an early age, Catherine was considered a suitable wife for Charles Orlando, Prince of Wales and the Dauphin, heir apparent to the English and French thrones, due to the English ancestry she inherited from her mother.

On January 1499, the dispensation for the marriage for Catherine of Aragon and Charles Orlando was delivered and a marriage between Bridget of York and Cesare Borgia was arranged on 1499 to tie the Kings of France and England and the Borgias, making the Borgias have blood ties to the Kings of France and England and as well to that of Scotland.
the Valois monarchy and the union was not accepted by all European kingdoms. At the time, the House of Trastamara was the most prestigious in Europe, due to the rule of the Catholic Monarchs, so the alliance of Catherine and Charles Orlando united the York and Lancastrian claim to the English throne via Catherine of Aragon's ancestry.

It would have given a male heir an indisputable claim to the throne. The two were married by proxy on 19 May 1499 and corresponded in Latin until Charles Orlando turned fifteen, when it was decided that they were old enough to be married.

When Catherine of Aragon travelled to London, she brought a group of her African attendants with her, including one identified as the trumpeter John Blanke. They are the first Africans recorded to have arrived in London at the time, and were considered luxury servants. They caused a great impression about the princess and the power of her family, after their marriage the counties of Cerdagne and Rousillon were ceded to France.

Catherine of Aragon and Catherine of Austria on the season II of the Series the Valois

IX

When Catherine of Aragon arrived in London, Elizabeth I has just gave birth to her last son, Philip, Catherine of Aragon and Elizabeth I were fond of each other. the two were talking alot with each other and even after Catherine of Aragon got married with Charles Orlando on the latter part of 1501, the two showed likeness to each other.

When there was a courtier that harassed Catherine, Elizabeth I would defend her and tell the courtier to say sorry to Catherine of Aragon.

However on 1503, on the birth of the last child of Elizabeth I, Princess Elizabeth she was not able to live through giving birth to her daughter and died herself, although the young Elizabeth survived, Charles Orlando, the Prince of Wales and Dauphin is crowned as King of England as Charles II (as Charles VIII of France is Charles I) and so was Catherine of Aragon, Catherine of York was attached to her mother in law Elizabeth I like as her mother.

Charles Orlando and Catherine of Aragon's marriage soon became a love match, the two would be very much in love with each other and cannot lay their eyes off each other.

On 1503 Charles VIII of France would lose his rights to the English throne on the death of Elizabeth I would take in a new bride in the form of Catherine of Austria, the daughter of Emperor Maximilian, who is the same name as Catherine of Aragon, since Margaret of Austria is now married to Sigismund, duke of Silesia, the brother of the Polish King, John I Albert, Charles VIII would betroth his daughter Bonne to Prince Vladislaus, son of John Albert and his own consort Helena of Moscow and his own eldest daughter, Margaret to Philip the Handsome of Austria, the eldest brother of his own bride Catherine of Austria.

Charles VIII would tease his son who is now Charles II, that he could had married Catherine of Aragon instead and Catherine of Aragon would defend her husband who is now the king of England.

Catherine of Austria and Catherine of Aragon would hate each other too much that the two cannot stand each other even if the two are contemporaries.

Catherine of Austria would give birth to four further off springs for Charles VIII, Eleanor of France b. 1504, Charlotte of France b. 1505, Henry of France b. 1507 and Robert of France b. 1512.

Charles Orlando and Catherine of Aragon's marriage soon became a love match, the two would be very much in love with each other and cannot lay their eyes off each other.

Catherine of Aragon would give birth to two daughters in succession, Joanna b. 1504 and Renee b. 1508, however she would bear a short lived son on 1512 named Henry, the duke of Cornwall, Charles Orlando was not that keen on the succession since he has brothers, Charles and Philip who are spare heirs.


On 1515, Charles II of England, Charles Orlando would inherit the French throne from Charles VIII as Charles IX after Charles VIII had died and Catherine of Austria retreated to a convent.

Catherine of Aragon would bear two sons in succession after she became the Queen herself, namely Dauphin Louis b. 1516 and Ferdinand b. 1518, Catherine of Aragon is annoyed by the two mistresses of Charles, Germaine of Foix and the young Mary Boleyn.

Catherine of Aragon would be in touch of her sisters, Joanna and Mary, Joanna is married to Manuel, duke of Beja and Mary of Aragon is married to Francis, Archduke of Austria, a brother of Philip the Handsome.

In this time when Catherine gave birth to Prince Ferdinand, Elizabeth of France, the youngest daughter of Elizabeth of York with Charles VIII is now being sent to be married to John Prince of Asturias, the son of Isabella II of Spain and Alfonso VI, Elizabeth would take the spanish name Isabel upon her marriage.

Bartolomé de las Casas

XI


Las Casas suggested a plan where the encomienda would be abolished and Indians would be congregated into self-governing townships to become tribute-paying vassals of the King. He still suggested that the loss of Indian labor for the colonists could be replaced by allowing importation of African slaves. Another important part of the plan was to introduce a new kind of sustainable colonization, and Las Casas advocated supporting the migration of Spanish peasants to the Indies where they would introduce small-scale farming and agriculture, a kind of colonization that didn't rely on resource depletion and Indian labor. Las Casas worked to recruit a large number of peasants who would want to travel to the Islands, where they would be given lands to farm, cash advances, and the tools and resources they needed to establish themselves there. The recruitment drive was difficult, and during the process the power relation shifted at court when Chancellor Sauvage, Las Casas's main supporter, unexpectedly died. In the end a much smaller number of peasant families were sent than originally planned, and they were supplied with insufficient provisions and no support secured for their arrival. Those who survived the journey were ill-received, and had to work hard even to survive in the hostile colonies. Las Casas was devastated by the tragic result of his peasant migration scheme, which he felt had been thwarted by his enemies. He decided instead to undertake a personal venture which would not rely on the support of others, and fought to win a land grant on the American mainland which was in its earliest stage of colonization.

Prince John of Asturias would be one of his ardent supporters and later implemented the proposals of Delas casas in a more effective manner in the Spanish New world colonies.

Cesare Borgia

XII

Cesare Borgia was initially groomed for a career in the Church. Following school in Perugia and Pisa, Cesare studied law at the Studium Urbis (nowadays Sapienza University of Rome). He was made Bishop of Pamplona at the age of 15 and archbishop of Valencia at 17. In 1493, he had also been appointed bishop of both Castres and Elne. In 1494, he also received the title of abbot of the abbey of Saint-Michel-de-Cuxa. Along with his father's elevation to Pope, Cesare was made Cardinal at the age of 18.

Alexander VI staked the hopes of the Borgia family on Cesare's brother Giovanni, who was made captain general of the military forces of the papacy. Giovanni was assassinated in 1497 in mysterious circumstances. Several contemporaries suggested that Cesare might have been his killer, as Giovanni's disappearance could finally open to him a long-awaited military career and also solve the jealousy over Sancha of Aragon, wife of Cesare's younger brother, Gioffre, and mistress of both Cesare and Giovanni. Cesare's role in the act has never been clear. However, he had no definitive motive, as he was likely to be given a powerful secular position, whether or not his brother lived. It is more likely, in fact, that Giovanni was killed as a result of a sexual liaison.

On 17 August 1498, Cesare became the first person in history to resign the cardinalate. On the same day, Charles VIII of France named Cesare Duke of Valentinois, and this title, along with his former position as Cardinal of Valencia, explains the nickname "Valentino" and later married to Bridget of York on 1499, who gives him a daughter, Bridget of Borgia b. 1500 and a son Cesare b. 1503.

Cesare Borgia was made duke of Romagna in 1501.

The nobles of France and England would loath the union and use that as pretext to the revolts led by Charles, duke of Normandy and Philip, duke of Aquitaine, the nobles in England would revolt after the assumption of Charles II as Charles IX of France, they want a separate heir of England.

Ferdinand, the younger son of Catherine of Aragon and Charles IX is selected as the heir of Charles IX, the King of England and France in England, the arrangement was agreed upon by the nobles of England who are against the union, after the union the traditional claims to the French throne of the English Kings would be lost and the Channel islands and Calais would pass to France after the reign of Charles II of England and IX of France.

Charles IX would try to implement French style centralization rules in England and promoted the use of law Norman and French in England, a move hated by the the English, Charles IX was quoted to be very similar to King Henry III of England.
