Lady Mary and Philip of Palatinate Neuburg in the Tudors

Mary Tudor’s realization

On 1542, Mary Tudor would notice that Edward is strong and healthy himself when she saw him and decided herself that she would not stay in England and it is no longer worth trying, she would decide to marry the Duke of Palatinate Neuburg and informed her father that she would give up her own ambitions to the throne in order to marry for love, the man she loved and cared about.

Lady Mary would realize herself that the legacy of mother is not important but rather her own happiness, Mary Tudor would make her last visit to her father and notified her own father of her plans to marry the Duke of Palatinate-Neuburg.

She was once quoted to have said:

“I recognise no Queen but my mother. But if the King's Mistress would intercede with the King on my behalf, then I would be grateful.”

But after she had decided to marry the Duke of Palatinate she said that:

“I would concede and bow down to my own brother as my brother is the legitimate claimant to the throne.”

Lady Mary would sign a document signing out her own claims to the English throne in order to marry the Duke of Palatinate-Neuburg, that was the last time she saw her father and she would ride a the first ship that would carry her to Calais and afterwards, she would meet with Charles V who she would visit once and then she would arrive to Palatinate where she marries Philip, the Duke of Palatinate-Neuburg on the latter part of 1543 even if she went to Palatinate, she would write letters continuously to Anne of Cleves about her own father.

Lady Mary’s arrival to Palatinate would be warm as her husband had wanted to marry her for a long time and the two would have two daughters named Catherine (November 10, 1544) and Maria (January 2, 1551), she would still be considered by the Catholic faction as their savior but she will refuse to take arms as she has already signed a treaty with her father and her two daughters are raised as Protestants in order to show her own father that she is no longer interested in the throne.

The Wedding of Elizabeth of France

On 1564, Elizabeth of France would enter her proxy marriage with Edward VI as was planned by her father since his death on 1559, she would say goodbyes to her sister in law and her brothers as well as her own mother after making her proxy marriage and the marriage would be delayed due to the threat of an interdict with her, she would meet Edward VI on Calais wherein they would marry on the first church that they saw.

Elizabeth of France would not be that amazed at her new husband as he was the one that she envisioned as she thought of him and not what her father would have told her but the marriage would push through.

She and her husband would set sail to dover where she would be crowned as the new Queen of England.

On 1570, the Forces from the Muslims in the North of Nueva Castilla or Saludong would send forces to expel the Spanish in Manila and Bulacan as they see them as a threat and save their allies Soliman and Lakandula in the South, despite them failing in the Battle of Bangkusay, they would be able to survive their own defeat in the battle of Bangkusay and went on to become a united Polity named Sultanate of Saludong in the North of Nueva Castilla centered in Binalatongan and also called as the Sultanate of Binalatongan which would have been a Muslim polity in the North of Saludong which would foster good relations with the Kingdom of Portugal and allow them to build factories like the Sultanate of Gowa did to the Portuguese, the Sultanate of Binalatongan would establish the River of Angat and Sierra Madre as their southern border with the Spanish.

On 1573, the Kingdom of Caboanan and the other Muslims of Northern Luzon or Saludong would assist Limahong in his seizure of the city of Manila after he sought refuge there in 1573 which would lead in Limahong’s capture by the Spanish and Limahong being sent back to China.

Tondo Conspiracy of 1587-1588 (known by numerous outer names such as the Revolt of the Lakans or the Conspiracy of the Maharlikas), was a revolt planned by Tagalog nobles, led by Agustin de Legazpi of Tondo and his cousin Martin Panga, to overthrow the Spanish government situated in the Philippines due to the injustices felt by the Filipinos. It was territorially one of the largest conspiracies against the Spanish rule next to the Katipunan. It ranged from provinces near Manila all the way to Calamianes islands near Palawan.

Legazpi sought help from a Japanese sea captain named Juan Gayo and asked for arms and warriors to fight alongside them in exchange for one-half of the tribute collected in the Philippines. They also requested help from places such as Borneo, Laguna, and Batangas with a plan to assault the city of Manila and assassinate the Spaniards. However, their plan was discovered by the Spaniards when Magat Salamat revealed their plan to fellow rebel Antonio Surabao who turned out to be a traitor when he reported the conspiracy to the Spaniards. Consequently, the rebels associated with the conspiracy were all punished with some put to death and others exiled and others escaped to the Sultanate of Binalatongan who harbored them and the plot against the Spaniards died along with them.
