Fruit of the Pomegranate - A Tudor Timeline

This was entirely random, and I don't really know what came into my head, but then I refused to let it go. Just a tiny prologue for now, as I don't exactly have my books with me at the moment.

Fruit of the Pomegranate - A Tudor Timeline


Rose and Pomegranate Badge of Catherine of Aragon

“In the early hours of 10 November 1518, the Queen went into labour, which lasted well into the night. To the great joy and relief of the entire nation, at exactly ten o'clock in the evening, Queen Catherine of Aragon had given birth to a healthy son. [1]”
“Henry VIII: Husband, Father, King” by Sybille Grégoire

[1] The POD. OTL, Catherine gave birth to a daughter who was either stillborn or died soon after (sources differ on the matter). It also proved to be her last child, and the lack of sons ultimately led to the Great Matter. Of course, a son ITTL would have a serious effect on England and the Continent.
