PODS:
1) A small group of Hashashins survive and remove themselves to Western Afica.
2) Songhai gives birth to an odd form of Islam, which backs its rulers with the Mandate of Allah.
3) Arthur Tudor survives to father a child on Catherine of Aragon. He later dies from falling off a horse. Henry is named Regent for Princess Isabella.
4) The Hashashins go to work for the ruler of Songhai, and one of their missions is to assassinate the Royal family of Spain, and the leaders of Spanish Inquisition. Catherine of Aragon, her daughter, and many loyal followers run off to the New World.
5) The Moors, with Songhai help retake most of Spain and all of Portugal.
6) Henry Tudor becomes Henry VIII, and still breaks away from the Catholic Church. He also overturns the Popal ban in pural marriage, as he is concurrently married to the mother of Henry Fitzroy, Anne Boylen, and Jane Seymour.
