But... She could also wind up having a bastard, in this case Robert Dudley has the best odds of being the father... Imagine the drama, the chaos, especially if Elizabeth decides to legitimize her bastard son or daughter and make the child her heir.
Other favorite option, Thomas Seymour, while he's married to her step mum.
Not really. I think the suggestion is because of the documents showing him trying to molest her (and possibly suceeding) when he was her legal guardian. She always made sure to be awake and fully dressed early in the morning before he could get to her bedroom. Some suggest the reason Catherine Parr tickled her and joined in the 'fun' was partially to overlook things and make sure her husband didn't tKe things too far. So no, this would not be hilarious.So if. Elizabeth marries before becoming queen who are her options?
Secondly Liz and Thomas seymaoaur would be hilarious

Oh now that is interesting. Perhaps an Austrian Habsburg? Or perhaps even a porygueuse infante?Another possibility is that Mary I decides that to ensure that England stays Catholic if she should die, or in her later reign becomes aware that she won't have a child and Elizabeth is her only real heir, is to force Elizabeth to marry someone of Mary's choosing. A nice Catholic Princeling or Lord who would be more than happy to come to England and become a King in all but name, or maybe be crowned at Beth's side.
Not exactly the best start to a marriage and motherhood, but it's a possibility.

Hmm this is true. Is the best bet for Liz to get married having Edward VI survive until around the 1560s then?
If Edward VI lives longer then, while he'll just wait for Mary to die unwed and childless, Elizabeth Tudor IS his half-sister, bastard or not, so he'll marry her to a highly positioned nobleman in England, probably someone that gets into the King's inner circle, maybe even a friend. Though if it's an older gentleman who's already married, she could be married off to that man's sons.
Okay interesting, which one would be more interesting to you?
The POD involving Edward VI is rather dull, he would turn England into a Calvinist Kingdom and Elizabeth would wind up married to some Duke, live quietly with him, produce some children, and then fade from the pages of history.
An Elizabeth who gets married during Mary's reign, especially once it's certain that Mary will have no children of her own, is in a more complicated, and thus more interesting position (to us).
She's the heir and future Queen Regnant, but she's either betrothed or already married, so the political forces will favor swirling around her new husband, since as 'the Man' he's expected to wield considerable power, either being a King in all but name, or maybe even crowned at Elizabeth's side, or pushing it even further he'd just be crowned King by Right of Marriage and push Elizabeth down to 'Queen-consort' of her own country. That last one is the least likely to occur, especially if her husband is NOT English.
