On 1565, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi would arrive in Cebu as ordered by Philip II and he would reestablish his control over Butuan and Sugbu, the ruler of Sugbu, Tupas would bow down to the Spanish as part of and strengthen the colony of the Philippines or Filipinas which was named by Villalobos who made the Villalobos expedition.

The Spanish control in the Visayas and Mindanao would have been found out by the Portuguese and the Bruneians in 1570 which would have caused the colony to be destroyed by the Portuguese and the Bruneians, this fight would strengthen the partnership of the Bruneians and the Portuguese although the Portuguese would establish churches and replaced the Bishops sent in by the Spanish in Sugbu and Butuan in the existing churches created by the Spanish.

The Twenty Year War or Dutch Revolt (Dutch: Nederlandse Opstand) (c.1566–1586) was an armed conflict in the Habsburg Netherlands between disparate groups of rebels and the Spanish government over issues such as the Protestant Reformation, centralisation, taxation, and the rights and privileges of the nobility and cities. After the initial stages, Philip II of Spain, the sovereign of the Netherlands, deployed his armies and regained control over most of the rebel-held territories. However, widespread mutinies in the Spanish army caused a general uprising. Under the leadership of the exiled William the Silent, the Catholic- and Protestant-dominated provinces sought to establish religious peace while jointy opposing the king's regime with the Pacification of Ghent, but the general rebellion failed to sustain itself. Despite Parma's steady military and diplomatic successes, the Union of Utrecht continued their resistance, proclaiming their independence through the 1581 Act of Abjuration, and establishing the Protestant-dominated Dutch Republic in 1586.

On 1583 on the reign of Edward VI of England, the English would found a colony on Newfoundland under Sir Humphrey Gilbert which would be the start of the English colonization of Newfoundland the Spanish and Portuguese would be quite hostile at the plans of the English and the French in the New World, however as the Portuguese and Spanish administrations don’t want to over extend the colonies of the English and the French in North America would stay.

The immigrants from France, Ireland and England would found the colony of Newfoundland which would launch the English colonization of the new world which would also create the colony of New England later on.

Magdalena is too old for Edward so in the unlikely case in which his regents will go for an Archduchess will be someone closer in age to Edward as Ferdinand had a lot of daughters

Magdalena is too old, Edward and his regents will not choose a woman so devotely catholic, so in the unlikely case in which they will go for an Archduchess will be someone closer in age to Edward as Ferdinand had a lot of daughters

Plus, if they wanted to find a daughter of Ferdinand who IOTL was a nun - Margaret (b. 1536) and Helena (b. 1543) are right there

He is not the OTL Edward, he is a son of Marie de Bourbon not Jane Seymour, I changed it to Margaret of Austria because she is more of a blank slate than her sister Madeleine.

Still doesn't explain why an Austrian archduchess

Still doesn't explain why an Austrian archduchess

To reinvigorate relations with Spain and Germany and since Mary is still legitimate and Henry VIII's successor does not have Habsburg or Trastamara blood.
