Margarethe of Austria

A more glorious marriage
Margarethe of Austria had previously married to the Prince of Asturias and had a stillborn child herself with her first husband John, Prince of Asturias in 1497 and none by her second husband, Philibert of Savoy.

For a long time, Frederick III of Saxony would negotiate for a marriage with Archduchess Margarethe of Austria as soon as she is available again, she would object to the marriage and said that she has vowed never to marry again, however she herself would be obliged by her father Maximilian to remarry and she at first resisted and Maximilian would be in good terms with Henry of Saxony and on 1507, Henry would convince Maximilian that a marriage with Margaret is a good proposition and introduced Henry to the suitor Henry of Austria and Henry would approach Archduchess Margarethe about his proposal to marry her and she would initially object, however she would fall in love with Henry and marry him as her third husband.

Margaret of Austria would remarry to Frederick III of Saxony, and their children are;

Henry b. May 10, 1508
Leopold b. February 15, 1511
Catherine b. November 4, 1513
Christine b. June 30, 1519

The marriage would guarantee a strong alliance of the Wettins with the Habsburgs and was useful in the elections of Charles V on 1519 and guaranteed Charles V the support of the electorate of Saxony in the emperor’s election.[1]

Ferdinand Magellan...he does not get to be painted like this


A Voyage never taken

In 1511, under the new governor Afonso de Albuquerque, Magallanes and Serrano participated in the conquest of Malacca.

The Pearl of the Orient

On the later part of of 15th century Bruneians expanded from Palawan and took the Sulu Sultanate as a vassal and vassalized the chiefdoms of Kumintang and annexed the towns of Kota Saludong and Tundun which made them in conflict with the nobles of Saludong which made the Bruneians make a marriage between Dayang Panginoon and one of the Saludongese nobles.

It is said that the marriage of Dayang Panginoon islam came to the north but the entrance of Islam is said is to come from the marriage since Islam only became significant after that marriage and Muslims in Saludong would start to be have a majority in Faru[1], Binalatongan and Makabebe in the mid-16th century which would lead in the later formation of the Sultanate of Saludong.

Earlier before the conquest of Tundun and Kota Saludong the land of Saludong whose part is called as Sanfotsi by the Chinese fell into Majapahit influence after the marriage of Sasaban to the legendary emperor Solodan of Majapahit and solidified it after her sons came back to Saludong according to the oral histories.

Magindanaw is beginning to accept Islam, the islamic population would start to predominate in Lusung and Tundun which is under the scions of Borneans, Sharif Kabungsuwan would establish his own sultanate of Maguindanao which would start the spread of Islam in Mindanao.

In the area between Magindanaw, Sulu and Saludong and the area which are under Bruneian and Muslims are the Animist Buddhist Visayans who are hostile to proselytization of the Muslims in the south which is sponsored by Brunei.

The Epic of Sasaban and Epic of Kumintang

The Epic of Princess Sasaban which is the Epic known in Saludong and it is said on the Epic that in the late 13th century, Princess Sasaban known as Maginganay and Kanoyan in many sources married Emperor Solodan who is identified as Emperor Raden Wijaya, she had two suitors which includes the later Emperor Solodan but chosen Solodan as her own husband in the end and she would give birth to three sons named Bagtas, Mandukit and Dikyaw and her husband would be crowned an Emperor after their marriage.

The Epic of Kumintang would be about Datu Dumangsil and the story about Kumintang and about the three sons of Empress Sasaban; namely Bagtas, Mandukit and Dikyaw who arrived to Saludong after they were summoned by their father to their mother’s land.

Election of Charles V

Maximilian would assign his estranged wife Bianca Maria Sforza to the Netherlands to be the regent there instead, she experienced many miscarriages and he seen that it would do best for her to stay in the Netherlands, later in the majority of Archduke Ferdinand, he would replace his own stepgrandmother as the regent of the Netherlands, she would retire in a nunnery in Brussels afterwards the death of her husband, outliving him.

After the death of his paternal grandfather, Maximilian, in 1519, Charles inherited the Habsburg Monarchy. He was also the natural candidate of the electors to succeed his grandfather as Holy Roman Emperor, the marriage between Frederick III of Saxony and Archduchess Margaret would be a great factor for the solid support for Charles V and his smooth succession of Charles V, since the other germans want Charles V not Francis I or Henry VIII, although the Bavarians and Saxons have rivalry against the Austrians, they set aside their difference in this time.

He completely defeated the candidacies of Francis I of France, and Henry VIII of England. The electors gave Charles the crown on June 28 1519. On 26 October 1520 he was crowned in Germany and some ten years later, on February 22, 1530, he was crowned Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Clement VII in Bologna.

Comuneros Revolt

On the later part of 1510’s since there is no one who would propose and want for funding for an expedition in the east, Charles V’s only problem would be the comuneros revolt in Castile who challenge his own rule, since there are two attempts in the mid 1510’s to have a route to the east and funding a further one that would be the problem for him and he would have more money to use to pay the dowry for his sister, he would marry his sister, Eleanor to John of Portugal in 1517 and he would provide her with a huge dowry, this would lessen the support to the commoners revolt in Castile and he is elected as Emperor in 1519, the late King of Portugal, Manuel I would instead marry Princess Anne of Navarre in 1517, a marriage which would produce a son named Alfonso of Viseu on May 5, 1518 since Charles V would not allow a marriage between Manuel and Eleanor and Charles V insisted a marriage between Archduchess Eleanor and John of Portugal so Archduchess Eleanor is married to John of Portugal and in exchange, Infanta Isabella of Portugal is married to Charles V as well in 1520.

On 1519, Charles is elected Holy Roman Emperor, he departed for Germany in 1520 with his fiance, Isabella of Portugal, leaving the Dutch cardinal Adrian of Utrecht to rule Castile while he was away. Soon a series of Anti-Government riots broke out in the cities and local city councils took power. The rebels choose the mother of Charles as the alternative ruler, hoping they could control her madness. The rebel movement took on a radical anti-feudal dimension, supporting the peasant rebellions against the landed nobility. On April 23, 1521, after nearly a year of rebellion, the reorganized supporters of the emperor struck a crippling blow to the comuneros on the Battle of Villalar. The following day, the rebel leaders Juan de Padilla, Juan Bravo and Francisco Maldonaldo were beheaded. The Army of the comuneros fell apart. Only the city of Toledo kept alive the rebellion until its surrender in October 1521.

Archduchess Mary of Austria travelled to Hungary in June 1521, two and a half years after Emperor Maximilian's death.

Mary and Louis fell in love when they were reunited in Buda and at first, Queen Mary had no influence in the politics of Hungary and her court was replete with Germans and Dutch.

During her term as queen she was interested in Martin Luther who dedicated four psalms to her in 1526, despite her brother, Ferdinand’s strong disapproval, she herself would be converted back to Catholicism later due to her brother and husband’s efforts.

Louis II of Hungary spent their free time riding and hunting in the open country near the palace and they tried to unsuccessfully mobilize the Hungarian nobility against an imminent Ottoman invasion.

The Battle of Mohacs was over in less than two hours, with the entire Hungarian army virtually Annihilated. Louis was able to successfully flee the site of the battle, however, large swathes of Hungary has been taken by the ottomans.

Mary of Austria would support Bona Sforza in her plans to attach Silesia to the Polish throne in exchange of Bari and Rossano, however this would result in Upper Silesia, which are Opole-Raciborz and Cieszyn passing to Polish suzerainty which gave the control of the Duchy of Opole-Raciborz to Poland due its reversion to Poland in 1530’s after the death of the last duke of Opole and Raciborz and gave the control of Poland to the roots of Vistula.[1]

Compared to any of the sons of his brother, Henry, Louis’s son Henry was sturdier than anyone of the son of Henry II which would be a source of family clashes.

Henry VIII

The Divorce and the Daughters of Henry VIII

Since 1525, Henry VIII would be pressing for a divorce with his wife, Catherine of Aragon and since he himself is superstitious and believed that Catherine is the source of the bad luck and started to press a divorce with her.

On 1532, King Henry would divorce Catherine of Aragon however, Clement VII would not accept the divorce and despite that he would marry Anne Boleyn and declare supremacy, dissolve the monasteries and split from the Catholic Church which would result in a daughter named Elizabeth of England in September 7, 1533 and a son named Edward, Prince of Wales born in October 12, 1537 and he would not have another child afterwards and King Henry VIII would be content about the birth of a son, however the people brought in by Anne Boleyn would lead in Edward VI to be a protestant monarch, on 1542 in order to further the alliance between Spain and England and to avoid a French threat to the English, Princess Mary is betrothed to Philip the Prince of Asturias and Mary would embark to Brussels to marry her groom and the marriage would happen on 1543 after a long time of choosing a marriage for the Princess, since he would use it to strengthen his son’s claims and even had his son betrothed to Joanna of Spain since it is no longer possible for him to marry Christina of Denmark and even attempted to return his country to Catholicism by marrying Mary to the Prince of Asturias in 1543 which did happen and it would be his daughter who would restore Catholicism in England.

In the same time, Eleanor of Ansbach the daughter of the previous queen of Aragon and a landless scion of Ansbach would marry Henry VIII as his last wife, this marriage would result in a single daughter named Margaret of England b. January 2, 1545, who would end up marrying Henry de Bourbon of Auvergne in 1460, his efforts to have another son and spare would be a failure in the end.

After his death in 1549, his son Edward VI and his advisors and regents would briefly plunge England in the rule of the Protestants for a brief time and Catholics would be banned from key positions and Henry VIII is also suspicious of the people that Anne put in in his court that he tried to remove them before his death in 1549 but he is not successful in that regard.

Mary Tudor would have children with her husband, Philip, Prince of Asturias named Charles b. November 10, 1544 and Isabella Clara Eugenia b. May 2, 1546, Catherine b, November 10, 1550 and another son named Philip in May 10, 1553.

Mary I

Bloody Mary to Mary the Great

On 1553, Edward, the son of Henry VIII would die, and Henry would create a provision in the succession barring Mary from the succession and her catholic descendants from the English throne, favoring his second daughter Elizabeth, the problem was Elizabeth herself is considered a bastard by the other powers and it is Mary, Princess of Asturias who is the one that is recognized by the external powers who is the successor of Edward VI council would take over to decide who is his successor and they chose Mary over the choice of Edward VI of Jane Grey and the English Catholics would prefer Mary over Jane Grey since they loved the late Catherine of Aragon and the fact that Mary is the eldest daughter of Henry VIII not Jane Grey, when Mary landed in 1555 from Spain and assumed the rule of England and crowned as queen she would tie and burn her protestant enemies to the stake including the advisors and regents of her brother, Edward VI on his reign which would be a step to reverse the break of England from the Church of Rome, her successors are more successful since they would reap the fruits of her own labor.

The French would declare a war to support Elizabeth in the latter part of 1555, but Marian forces would win and force Elizabeth to comply and join her in her court, so that she would meet her kids and her husband, however, Elizabeth afterwards is sent to Portugal in a year to marry Edward, Duke of Guimaraes, who would be her husband due to Mary and Philip

Mary I would marry Elizabeth to someone of her choice which is Edward, duke of Guimaraes in Portugal since she would want Elizabeth to marry someone who is not harmful to her and banned protestants in high positions, however Elizabeth would die in childbirth with her only child in 1560 who died with her and the marriage would not result in any children and she would betroth and promise her daughter Isabella Clara Eugenia to James VI of Scotland, this would secure her son’s Philip, who the parliament chosen to succeed her after her death, the abdication of Charles V and Philip leaving would make Mary I in charge more of her Kingdom and on her death on 1559, Philip would be the regent for her son, Philip the Younger, initially during her term she would be known as the Bloody Mary by her detractors but she is known as Mary the Great later on due to her restoring Catholicism in England by the later generations.

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.

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.

Philip II would be left of the inheritance of Spain and Austria and the Burgundy and Ferdinand of Austria would be given with the inheritance of Austria itself and this would mean that Philip II would be at peace and the people would want his rule and the Netherlands would not be a headache for him, Philip II would advise his son, Charles, Prince of Asturias to marry Eleanor of Portugal and Philip would marry Elizabeth of Valois himself, a move that would surprise the King of France who expected that his daughter, Elizabeth is the one to marry the heir to the Kingdom of Spain.

The marriage between his son, Charles and Eleanor of Portugal would happen to maintain peace between the two countries of Portugal and the two joined countries of Aragon and Castile.

Elizabeth of Valois would have a daughter named Catherine Michelle in 1660 before dying in 1562, Catherine Michelle would be the later duchess of Savoy, Claude Duchess of Lorraine who have Ceres like Fertility, Philip II would remarry to Anne of Austria after Elizabeth of France died, Anne of Austria would give birth to two sons, named Diego b. 1572 and Felipe b. 1477.
