Collaborative Timeline - Edward V and Onwards

By the way... any ideas of what may happen if Henry II doesn't die in the fateful jousting tournament?

No great expert here, but perhaps his son Francois will predecease him, leaving Henri''s second oldest son as Dauphin. Would that change Mary Queen of Scots' fate too? Maybe, if the de Guises have any say in the matter, it might.

Would she possibly be married to the new Dauphin instead?

Both France and Scotland have very different histories at the moment. There is no Henri II, but Charles, Dauphin of France (b.1513). And In Scotland, James VII is currently on the throne as a 16 year old boy (as of 1557) and his elder sister 24 Margaret (one of two older sisters, the other is Elizabeth, age 11) is currently his regent, with the 'help' of a council headed by her husband the Duke of Lennox. James is married to Renee of Savoy and Brittany (18 years old) and has one son (named Alexander, Duke of Ross) and will have a daughter in 1559, named Mary.
