When Charles II married Catherine of Braganza in 1661, the islands of Bombay were ceded to England by Portugal as part of the dowry. They were later leased to the East India Company who apparently used it as their base for some time.
Let us say Charles II marries another princess or that Bombay is just not included in the dowry and it remains in Portugese hands. Will this have any effects down the line?
