Queen Elizabeth I of England: The half-sister of King Edward VI who succeeded him in 1553-1559. She died of an illness in 1559. Her husband Robert Dudley was killed not long after. She is remembered as Bloody Elizabeth after she persecuted thousands of Catholics under her reign.
Queen Mary I "Glorianna" Of England: The elder sister of Elizabeth and Edward who ascended the throne in 1559 after the death of her sister Elizabeth. She reigned from 1559 to 1585 when she died. She steered England back towards Catholicism and sold Calais to her Habsburg cousins to help her people. By the end of her reign Catholicism was the biggest religion in England once again. She was succeeded by her cousin James Stuart who would inherit the Scottish throne in 1595 from his mother Mary. With that the thrones of Scotland and England were united under a Catholic King.

Eusebio T. Daluz (1851-1919)
Father of the pan-Philippine lingua franca, also known as Luuk, a lawyer and linguist whose extensive research on different Philippine languages (with the help of his sons and an extensive correspondence across the country) had led to the formation of a vehicular language that would be used by every Filipino, with arguments that convinced the then Insular Government (particularly through influencing the Executive Secretaries [de facto heads of the Insular Government], who were mostly Filipinos from the term of Pedro Paterno in 1899.) that a such language are at par with English and Spanish. While he was often compared to Ivar Aasen, his legacy is sometimes considered as controversial, particularly in some sectors of the Tagalog-speaking intellectuals.
PS:
This is based in this article, where he was cited. A relatively obscure figure in OTL, his linguistic contribution is fascinating, although TTL's idea of pan-Philippine lingua franca is different from RL.

I don't see why not alternate versions of historical people mirroring an already existing timeline is problematic.
These are historical people (with otl bios) in diffrent tls (with alt bios) you can’t do a a historical character with an alt bio and give it another alt bio! I already said this too.
