Fidalgo – A renaissance timeline

An exploration made public
The Portuguese exploration of Luzon in 1545 by Pero Fidalgo and the Knowledge of Tomi Pires about Luzon in 1512 would be known in Portugal during the reign of John III of Portugal which would cause the Spanish to be blocked from acquiring Luzon up to 1580 when the Spanish took control of the Portuguese throne on 1580.

On 1570, After Legaspi would have discovered that Luzon is a part of the land called Selurong by the Borneans or Ysla de Luzon by the Spanish is divided to three lands of Sapa, Luzon/Comintan, and Ibalon and made relations with Lakandula of Tondo and Sulayman of Maynila and negotiated friendly relations with them and with the new Spanish colony of the Philippines, he knows himself that he would be forbidden to conquer any part of that area and did not try to conquer it as it would cause problems with the Portuguese under King Sebastian, the Spanish would establish trade posts and missions in the Kingdom of Tondo instead of conquering it.

The land of Sapa would also later be the Kingdom of Sapa/Selurong which claims the rest of Selurong due to its ties with the Bruneians who were ruling Selurong via Kandarapa of Tondo, a niece of Lakandula.
 
Aftermath of the Portuguese succession
On 1580, the Spanish would gain control of the Portuguese throne after the death of Sebastian of Portugal due to him dying after a crusade with the Spanish and they would start to control the Portugal succession and the Spanish would make moves over the land of Luzon or Selurong and they would start in trying to gain some control over the lands of the Bruneian Empire, and send more of their own missionaries in Selurong which would be quite successful in Luzon in the areas of Luzon/Comintan and Ibalon, however the rulers of the Kingdom of Tondo would become quite untrusting of the Spanish which would send the Kingdom of Tondo and the Other vassals of the Bruneians to be in conflict with the Spanish.

On 1589, Sulayman IV would fight the Spanish which would cause a defeat and the conquest of Luzon under the Bruneians by the Spanish which would be placed under the Portuguese crown and the Kingdom of Sapa/Selurong would remain independent as a Japanese ally and the Spanish would be completely uninterested with them, the Kingdom of Sapa would be filled with Japanese Wokou bases and Trading posts which would reinforce it as a buffer state between the Spanish Philippines and Japan.
 
Sigismund III of Poland
On 1572, Sigismund of Brandenburg, Sigismund III of Poland would succeed his uncle, Sigismund II Augustus, he is his nephew from Hedwig of Brandenburg, he would convert to Catholicism but would implement toleration in Poland, he would receive Neumark and Crossen which would later be integrated to the Kingdom of Poland, he would marry Margaret of Valois which would strengthen the alliance between Poland and France, Margaret of Valois would have two surviving children, namely Catherine(May 10, 1575) and Wladyslaw(June 4, 1583).

Sigismund III would tolerate Lutheranism in Poland and the Lutherans in Silesia would support him as well which would cause the win of the Protestants in the Battle of the White Mountain dividing Silesia between the Kingdom of Poland and the liberated Kingdom of Bohemia under the Wittelsbachs with the support of Kingdom of Poland, although the Kingdom of Bohemia would go back to the Habsburg via the female line via Elizabeth Charlotte of Bohemia and Palatinate due to a peace treaty between the Wittelsbachs of Palatinate marrying Elizabeth Charlotte to Archduke Leopold I.

Treaty of Lisbon
Terms

The Spanish Habsburgs recognised the legitimacy of the Braganza dynasty in Portugal. Infanta Catarina, Duchess of Braganza (1540–1614), the former Duchess of Braganza and grandmother of João IV of Portugal, was retroactively acknowledged as a legitimate heir to the throne.

Portuguese sovereignty over its colonial possessions was reconfirmed except for the African exclave of Ceuta, a city that did not recognise the House of Braganza as the new ruling dynasty.



Agreements on the exchange of prisoners, reparations and the restoration of commercial relations were reached.

Portugal ceded Ceuta to Spain. Seven years earlier, the nearby city of Tangiers had been awarded to King Charles II of England as part of the dowry of Catherine of Braganza, as had been stipulated in the Treaty of Lisbon of 1661.

Treaty of Lisbon

Freepedia

The Treaty of Lisbon would include the part of Luzon which is annexed under Portuguese and Portuguese Celebes which the Portuguese would have a difficulty reenforcing their control of which meant that the Spanish would only have control of the Visayas and the Spanish held Mindanao in the treaty of Lisbon in 1668.

what do the Portuguese have and don't have in this timeline?
 
could you make a map of all the current territory of the Iberian Union? (Light Yellow would be Portugal and Dark Yellow being Spain)
This is the rough map of this timeline in regards to Philip ii.

Wladyslaw and Elizabeth Lucretia
On 1610, Elizabeth Lucretia of Cieszyn would marry Wladyslaw of Poland, son of Sigismund III of Poland which would result in Poland gaining some control over Cieszyn due to the marriage and the marriage would help in the Polish acquisition of majority of Silesia after the battle of the White Mountain.

Elizabeth Lucretia would produce three children; Hedwig of Poland(August 13, 1621), Sigismund(December 27, 1622), and Frederick(March 8, 1525).

Elizabeth of Bohemia, the daughter of the King of Bohemia, Frederick I would marry Sigismund to seal the alliance between Poland and the Protestant Bohemia.
 
Liselotte, Holy Roman Empress
On 1660, a peace treaty would have been made between the now Protestant Bohemia and Austria betrothing Elizabeth Charlotte of Bohemia or Liselotte and Leopold I of HRE, however, that would have guaranteed the reacquisition of Bohemia by the Habsburgs as her brothers would have died with no issue.

She would be crowned as Holy Roman Empress on her marriage in 1670 when she reached her majority.

Elizabeth Charlotte would prove to be fertile herself and prove to be a very fertile Holy Roman Empress and would have the following surviving children;

Archduchess Maria Antonia (1674–1700)

Joseph I, Holy Roman Emperor (1678–1711)

Archduchess Maria Elisabeth (1680–1741)
