Does the siege of Mazagan in 1662 still occur? Does Portugal begin to prepare for intervention in Morocco in 1968? What about the raid in Tangier in 1574? How about the battle of Alcácer Quibir in 1578? Does Sebastian lose his life in said battle?

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Alcácer_Quibir

Yes, the 1574 and 1578 event does happen and I did not butterfly it what I butterflied is the Eastern Situation in the Philippines, majority of the butterflies will happen in the 17th century.

The only thing major added is the descendants of Margaret of Austria that rule Rhineland.

Saxon-Poland ties

On 1558, John Frederick II of Saxony would marry Elizabeth of Poland, daughter of Catherine Jagiellonian and Louis II of Poland, this would strengthen the ties between Saxony and Poland and she would give birth to two heirs John Casimir (1563) and John Frederick (1564).

Elizabeth Jagiellonian would support the reformation in Saxony, even though she would remain catholic in her life to maintain her alliance with family members in Poland and she would support her own children in their being raised as a protestant.

The Poles and Saxons would have close ties in the future and also the other problems and the Saxons would have gained the Duchy of Zagan and Lubusz as Bohemian fiefs they have problems in Bohemia on their own, however the Poles would support them in their problems in Zagan Silesia due to the marriage of John Frederick and Elizabeth of Poland.

Legend of Sasaban

Nararya’s adventures begin when his father, a Prince of Singhasari, set out for a battle but never returned. At barely nine months, Nararya goes to search for his father where the latter was said to have gone. Aware that her child was a blessed, exceptional creature, his mother allows him to go. Nararya then goes off in search of his father, leaving his grieving mother behind.

He sees his father beheaded by his father’s rivals, he learns how he will avenge his father.

Upon arriving home, Prince Nararya decides to court his choice of bride, Princess Sasaban. Despite his mother’s disapproval, he follows his heart and set off again on another journey to his love. He faces one of Sasaban’s suitors and various monsters, but again is able to vanquish them with ease. Aiding him are his magical pets, a cat (in other versions, no cat), a dog, and a rooster. The bird flaps its wings and a house toppled over. This feat amazes everyone that is present, especially Sasaban. Then, Nararya’s dog barks and the house rose up. Invited to lunch with the family of Sasaban, Nararya impresses her parents with his wealth and upon returning, he gives the family two golden ships and marries Sasaban.

In the end after having avenged his father using the the troops amassed by Yuan which is near the country of Sasaban, he marries the Princesses of Singhasari and crowned as Emperor which would mean that Sasaban would be left alone with her sons; Bagtas, Mandukit and Dikyaw. Sasaban herself curses the male line of Nararya or Raden Wijaya, which would later lead to the reign of Empress Tribhuwana of Majapahit.

Proselytization

On 1540’s the Portuguese would start their plans in spreading Christianity to Japan due to Francis Xavier meeting Anjiro in 1549 and started the evangelization of Japan, after Francis Xavier left Japan in 1550's, Anjiro would be driven out into piracy and he would die in the sea, Christianity would be promoted by a handful of missionaries from Portugal who arrived in Japan via Macau, since the Christianity is a significant minority they would not influence the Japanese themselves and the Shoguns would not treat it as a threat even by 1570, and would not affect the policies of the emperor and the shogun, Christianity would be a substantial religion with only Nagasaki as the city with Christian majority by 1580’s, the Portuguese would have successfully colonized the lesser Sundas and Christianized Bali, Sunda and the Bataks, a process that started in the early 16th century, the Kingdom of Sunda and the Bataks in Sumatra due to Christianity protecting them against the Javanese and the Malays.

On 1570, the Muslims have already completely converted the coastal and bay regions of Saludong except for the area of Sambals, this process has been going in decades since the first decades of the 16th century and the initial areas where islam became the only religion whose initial areas where in they are the majority are in the towns of Faru, Makabebe and Binalatongan in the early 16th century due to peace agreement with the Bruneians have made after the invasion of Tondo a couple of decades ago, in the 1580’s the Muslims would completely proselytize the regions of the lower banks of Matalag and Kayakayam which are the tributaries of River Kahayan or Bannag in the town of Piat and in upper reaches of Agno in Kaboloan to Islam and the Sultanate of Saludong is established with the center in Macabebe in the 1580’s and they would adopt the Jawi or Arabic Alphabet as their writing system.

Displacement and Portuguese expansion

Due to the rulers of Kaboloan being of the same dynasty as the ruler of the Sultanate of Saludong and the conversion of Kaboloan would result in the temporal absorbtion of Kaboloan by 1590 to the Sultanate of Saludong, however the rulers of Kaboloan would be made as peers as they are of the same dynasty, the Muslim evangelization would cause the Kaboloan encroachment of the Sambals to the West and the South by the people of Kaboloan, their relations with the Sultanate of Mataram and Aceh would strengthen since 1590 and starting the 1580's the Wukou of Japan would encounter the Muslims in Saludong, the muslims would isolate the Hindus who live inland due to the complete conversion of the areas of Lower Kayakam or Itawis region which is around the town of Piat and the areas of the old Kingdom of Kaboloan to Islam.

The Chinese would call Selurong or Sambali as Sanfotsi when the Sultanate was established and the areas under the Bruneians which is Liusung, Ma-Yi and Dongdu and Maguindanao Sultanate and its environs as Toupo.

The Kingdom of Dapitan was at war with the Sultanate of Ternate in the Moluccas in 1563 which are also raiding Butuan and the other Visayan realms would also have conflicts with the muslims in Sulu and Mindanao as well, the Kingdom of Dapitan in Mindanao and in the Budyol Island would have an alliance with Portugal due to the muslims being a threat to them, however in this point the prosetylization of Muslims in Mindanao and Sulu have been advanced and most of Southern Coastal Mindanao have been majority Muslim by 1580 like in Saludong and the central and Jambangan remaining Pagan, the Portuguese would make the ruler of Dapitan as their vassal in the 1580’s.

By the 1570’s there was a marriage between the Saludongese muslim nobility and the Bruneian scions in the North, the marriage of Princess Kandarapa of Tondo to one of the nobles of Saludong before the official establishment of the Islamic Sultanate of Saludong, Lakandula would dispute his young nephew, Soliman’s succession in pretext of seniority, but the nobles would prefer Soliman III as the ruler of the Kingdom of Manila, Kumintang and Tondo and the master of the areas of the island of Saludong that is under Bruneian Suzerainty, Lakandula would be forced to bow, Tondo is the areas taken by the Bruneians from the Saludongese in the late 15th century.

The lesser Sunda islands especially the ones under Portuguese control in the 1580’s is Christianized which would include the Island of Bali which is currently an island which was ruled by the hindu nobles of the old Majapahit Empire who converted to Christianity, the Christianization of the East and Islamization of the West would drive the Hindus to Saludong and Borneo, but the journey would be very difficult, the Bataks and the Kingdom of Sunda would convert to Christianity as well.

On 1590’s the Sultanate of Saludong in the south would be known as Sanfotsi or Sanbutsu to the Japanese, which was its name before the area was under the Majapahit influence suzerainty in the 14th century, apparently the Japanese and the Chinese considered it as a Majapahit province till the Sultanate of Saludong’s existence was recognized by China and Japan, the Sultanates of Saludong and Magindanaw would be virtually a vassal of the Bruneians in the beginning although Saludong would be having good relations with the Sultanate of Aceh and Mataram which are both former parts of Majapahit, the first known sultan of Saludong who is not mythical would be Mahmoud I who is believed to be the ruler of Kaboloan, Kasikis who had converted or he is Balagtas or Tarik Soliman, but no one knows for sure since they disappeared from records after Mahmoud I became the sultan.

Magindanaw and Butuan would be rivals in territory since the island of Maranon/Mindanaw is partitioned between them in the late 17th century which would be a source of conflict and rivalry between the two, the Kingdom of Sugbu and Ternate would ally with Butuan against the Magindanaw Sultanate and Mangatang Chiefdom which is a vassal of the Sulu Sultanate, the two kingdoms would be close to each other.Magindanaw and Butuan would be rivals in territory since the island of Maranon is partitioned between them in the late 17th century which would be a source of conflict and rivalry between the two, the Kingdom of Sugbu and Ternate would ally with Butuan against the Magindanaw Sultanate and Mangatang Kingdom which is a vassal of the Sulu Sultanate, the two kingdoms would be close to each other and later Butuan and Sugbu would be protectorates of the Portuguese Empire like Ternate due to an alliance between Sugbu and Butuan with Ternate.

Conquest of the Incas

On 1533, Atahualpa was executed and replaced by a series of puppet rulers, namely Manco Inca and Paullu Inca were installed who were murdered due to power struggles which would lead to the Inca Empire being officially annexed in 1549 by the Spanish.

Due to the empire being annexed in 1549, the NeoInca empire ruled by Tupac Amaru would not be recognized of its existence by the Manco Inca, which would lead up to its demise on 1572, due to Viceroy Francisco Toledo declaring a war against Tupac Amaru and executing Tupac Amaru, Vilcambaba is sacked and its inhabitants are moved to the new Christian town of San Francisco de la Victoria de Vilcabamba.

The Portuguese and the Spanish would have problems in the borders in the Amazon basin of their own colonies which would cause border skirmishes and Spain would want a colony in the east which was solved by the later union of Portugal with the Spanish Kingdoms in the latter part of the century.

Toyotomi’s war

On the 1590’s Toyotomi Hideyoshi would start his plans to conquer Korea then China then put his plans in action in 1592 where in he would attack the Joseon dynasty.

Toyotomi would have treated Christians that are produced by the Proselytization of the Portuguese with anonymity and even forced the Christians to comply, the population of the Christians in Japan would remain to have a small population

Toyotomi would invade Korea or the Joseon dynasty in 1592, not hindered by any religious divisions in this time, the Japanese would retain to be able to do as they planned which is to conquer the Ming and to establish an empire that would span whole asia.

In this time, Toyotomi would notice of the existence of Sanbutsu or Saludong in the South, in this time the fledgling Sultanate of Saludong is virtually a vassal of the Bruneians and would have trade with Malacca and Ryukyu, the Wukou would infest its coasts and in this time, Toyotomi and the Saludongese Sultan would communicate establishing diplomatic relations with the Toyotomi regime in Japan.

The Wukou would infest the coasts of Saludong and the Muslims from Borneo and Saludong would come to trade in Ryukyu, Saludong would continue to ignore the Wukou.

Toyotomi would go forward in his plans to invade Joseon and he and his troops would land in Joseon in the end of 1592, beginning the war between Joseon and Japan itself.

The Invasion of Korea would be done and thought and finalized for a very long time and declared in the final months of 1592 and Konishi Yokinaga with 7000 troops would invade from Tsushima.

Earlier, Sou Yoshitoshi from Tsushima would land in Busan alone to ask Joseon a safe passage to China but the Joseon people would refuse.

The Koreans would defend themselves and kill many people in the war in the initial battle of Busan where in the Japanese would be victorious and occupy Busan due to their stronger military power, however the Koreans themselves would remain in resistant to the invasion and the news of the invasion would reach the Joseon court.

The Royal Korean armies would go to Busan and fight with the Japanese armies, however they would not be on match with the Japanese armies, but the Japanese would have stronger forces, however the Ming would send troops in the war and caused the occupation of Busan to be short and forced the Japanese to a forced peace in early 1593 which is a peace forced in treaty.

Height of the Asian Portuguese Empire

On 1590, the Portuguese would gain the suzerainty of the Kingdom of Dapitan which is threatened by the Muslims, the Portuguese would establish Ports in the Bruneian Manila, Sugbu, Butuan and Brunei’s capital itself, this was the height of the Portuguese Empire, however, the Habsburg Acquisition of Portugal and the Portuguese union with the other Spanish Kingdoms in the Iberian Union would cause problems to the Kingdom.

The Portuguese would now have their rivals the Austrian Habsburgs who started a project to create their colonies in the East, the Portuguese would establish shops in Kota Selurong or Kota Saludong and in Brunei which are under the Bruneian Empire and their missions in Japan which is primarily in Deshima, however the missions would decline, Deshima or Dejima or Degima would be considered as a part of the Portuguese Empire.

The Chiefdom of Mangatang established by Mangal succeeded by the popular Lapu Lapu would be a muslim state connected to both the Magindanaw and would completely Islamize by 1590’s and have marriage alliances with the Sultanate of Magindanaw and it is a part of the Sultanate of Sulu which is a part of the Bruneian Empire itself, both the Kingdoms of Saludong and Mangindanaw at this point are defacto vassals of the Bruneian Empire since majority of the missionaries came from the Bruneian Empire but since the Mangatang is a part of the Sultanate of Sulu, making it a part of the Bruneian Empire which would attract Tausugs and other Muslims to settle the Kingdom.

He is said that he is interested in finding more wealth for his own country in the form of colonies, he would lead the foundation of the Austrian East India Company and the Austrian West India Company, he would use tolerance in his own way of colonizing since he himself has been protecting protestants in his own realms.

On 1605, the newly found Austrian East India company would fail to attack Malacca, but they were able to capture Jakarta which they renamed Rudolfia in honor of Emperor Rudolph II which is informally named as Batavia, which was captured by Pieter Booth, Emperor Rudolph II would personally visit Batavia in the next year it was found, it was said that for him Batavia was beautiful, and he would say that they should put a statue for him in Rudolfia so that it would be to show the glory of their new found empire.

The Austrians and the Mataram people would have good relationships in this point due to them benefiting from trade with each other and Mataram would support the prescence of the Austrians in the east.

While in the West the Austrian East India Company would explore the Caribbean, and explored the uninhabited parts of the West Indies and establish settlements in the African Cape of Good Hope.

During this time in 1605 his brother, Matthias would die due to venereal disease which would lead to Charles VI, the eldest son of Isabella Clara Eugenia of England and Archduke Ferdinand II inheriting the Empire in 1610, the eldest of a brood of two comprising of Charles(1560) and Philip(1562) crowned with his wife, Anna Juliana Gonzaga.

The French North America would have good relations with Mexico which would secure the existence of the French control of North America and aside from that they sent Maria of Spain, Queen of France to secure a boundary of French settlement with Spain on the river on the territory of Rio Grande after the territory of the Techas tribe which would mean good relations with Spain.

The marriage between Maria of Spain and Henry was a success due to the establishment and security of the French colonies in America or New France as well as them having a trail of kids of their own and the fact that Maria of Spain was a good negotiator for the colonies.
