How would Philip I of Castile divide his empire?

The italian wars was about Milan and Napels so with Napels going to Juan of Aragon instead of Carlos, Philip and Ferdinand Milan might end up french instead.

Hmm indeed it might, though Milan was an Imperial Fief, so the Habsburgs could still get involved there.
 
Yes, but he dislikes Philip too. But then again Ferdinand is a wily pragmatist and if Juan III becomes half the man his father was then perhaps he can play both the french and the hapsburgs against each other.

Aye, that I can see. Plus as long as Maximilan was alive, I reckon that alliance would remain.
 
Yes, but the taxes on Castile alone is gonna be unbearble. Also part in the rebellion were that the two kingdoms were never more intergrated with each other, so Charles managed Aragon badly

I see, hmm, in which case I must ask again, should Girona remain alive, or be stillborn as otl
 
I cant remember how the issue of Milan actually got solved but yes the hapsburgs being there is good. I like Francis so he can stay.
 
Aye, that is of course if Pavia indeed happens here, different battles could result in different outcomes..
