List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

Henry VII* m. Elizabeth of York(a)

1a. Edward VI b. 1486 m. Margaret of Austria b. 1480

2a. Margaret of England b. 1489 m. Charles Orlando b. 1492

3a. Henry, Duke of York b. 1491

4a. Mary, Holy Roman Empiress b. 1496 m. Charles V b. 1500

5a. Edmund, Duke of Bedford b. 1498

*Son of Edward of Westminister and Anne Neville

Is 1486 not an incredibly tight turnaround for Edward of Westminster and Anne Neville to have a child and for that child to have a child. Eddie and Anne married in mid December 1470, so the earliest their child could be born would be c. mid September 1471, if carried to term.

That pushes Henry VII being able to consumate his own marriage until at least 1487, and the birth of Edward VI into 1488.

I'd kick Edwards date of birth to at least 1489 or 1490, which puts him more in line with the suggested match with Germaine of Foix

Well, Henry VII would get Elizabeth pregnant as soon he was consummating the wedding (he would be allowed to do it at 14 years old and with Elizabeth being older than him no need to wait)...

I have to concur, the guy didn't seem to care about political advantages.

Also this looks like it could be a start to an awesome TL. Sigismund being able to continue the dynasty means there is no need to elect a king, which probably has a TON of effects down the line such as no liberum veto...

Sorry to interrupt your post, but, no, not quite. In Poland proper, law introducing viritim (done by all nobles) election was issued in 1537 and elections in some form existed since Casimir IV's (Sigismund II's grandfather) ascension to Polish throne, but they were not formal and restricted to dynasty.
 
I'm not entirely convinced if he'd think like this, marrying Barbara Radziwiłłówna was against political advantages, and Sig still did so.
Alexander could be just personally devout, and as he'd be just 14 when father dies SA would have little to say about his ecclesiastical career

This. But title of Grand Duke of Lithuania is going to remain hereditary.

Obligatory king Arthur
 
But of course!
Always confuses me. Like I understand the mythological connotations and such, but I doubt any British/English monarch would make their heir as Arthur, aside from Henry VII who wanted that *connection* to ancient British legend.
Aside from Arthur Tudor, name another Prince of Wales or King of England.
