List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

Here’s one where Richard III wins Bosworth and Edward of Middleham survives:

King Richard III (1452-1507), reigned from 1483, M. Anne Neville (1456-1485) and in 1487 Princess Joanna of Portugal (1452-1506), had issue:

With Anne Neville:

1. Edward Middleham, later King Edward V (1473-1529) reigned from 1507 M. Elizabeth of York (1466-1521), had issue:

1 (A). Prince Richard, later King Richard IV (1489-1551), reigned from 1529 M. Catherine of Aragon (1485-1555).
1 (B). Princess Anne (1492-1543) M. King Orland I of France (1492-1539)
1 (C). Prince Edward, Duke Of Gloucester (1494-1525) M. Antoinette de Bourbon

With Princess Joanna

2. Princess Cecily (1488-1536) M. King James IV of Scotland (1473-1423) reigned from 1488, had issue:

2 (A). Prince James, Duke of Rothesay (1508-1556) reigned from 1523.
2 (B). Princes Cecily of Scotland (1509)

3. Prince Richard, Duke of York (1491-1559) M. Marguerite de Angouleme (1492-1550) had issue:

3 (A). Sir Edward of York (1507)
3 (B). Lady Margaret (1509)
3 (C). Lady Joanna (1511)
3 (D). Sir Richard (1513)

4. Princess Joanna (1494-1519) M. King Christian II of Denmark, had issue:

4 (A). Prince John of Denmark (1510-1543)
4 (B). Prince Christian (1512-1550)
4 (C). Princess Christina (1515-1556)

.....

So a few notes, the daughters of Edward IV are either married of to loyalist of Richard or sent to the convent.
While I always like a good Riccardian tree, Scotland is an unlikely match. Richard III's plan was to send either Margaret of Clarence or Anne de la Pole up north to marry James.
The general thrust of the matches seems "too French" given Richard's poor opinion of his brother's actions in France.

Good news will be no Manuel of Portugal here. Fernando and Isabella won't murder Prince Affonso if the next heir is the queen of England or the prince of Wales. Although they also had a better opinion of Richard than of Edward IV, good enough to offer Isabel to either Middleham or Richard himself to prevent an Anglo-Portuguese match.

In place of Antoinette de Bourbon, why not Madeleine de la Tour d'Auvergne (OTL mom of Caterina de Medici)?

@BlueFlowwer @isabella
That would work only if Richard had effectively surviving children by Joanna (who for me is pretty unlikely as Joanna was already 33 and her health likely not good and her religion pretty intense. Do not forget who England had an harsher climate than Portugal and Joanna would die in 5 years). More likely who Manuel would still follow John of Portugal on the throne and Manuel’s eldest son married to one of the younger daughters of Ferdinand and Isabella). Isabella of Aragon for Middleham is not impossible (if he is born at the end of 1473. If he was born in 1476, he would likely get Joanna) if Richard‘s crown look stable, but Isabella for Richard himself? No way her parents would agree to that match.
Still Joanna of Portugal living until 1506 and able to have 3 living children after marrying at 35 years old looks highly implausible to me.
Richard offered Anne de la Pole in Scotland and she and her sisters are the only nieces who Richard can safely marry abroad.

[1] Catherine was demoted to Dowager Princess of Wales (a title she would have held as Arthur's widow), and Mary was deemed illegitimate. She was styled "The Lady Mary" rather than Princess, and her place in the line of succession was transferred to her newborn half-sister, Elizabeth, Anne's daughter. Following the birth of a healthy male heir, Queen Anne, wanted Mary, married away from England, keeping any chances of Mary and her heirs from usurping her children.
Many suitors were sort after, but Anne had strict restrictions, no King or Prince, no English lord or any foreign lord who could invade England in a succession war.
She died on 17the November 1554, of a heavy bleed following a miscarriage.
[2] The marriage came in the form of 16 year old, Frederick, eldest son of Duke Frederick II of Legnica in Silesia (1480–1547), a strong supporter of the Reformation and founded in 1526 the first Protestant University in Legnica; however, because of the controversies between Luther and Caspar Schwenckfeld, it wasn't until 1530 that the University finally opened. Despite his own conversion to Protestantism, Frederick II allowed his subjects to choose their own religion.
Mary was happy that she was still able to attend mass but wasn't overly happy in her marriage or the fact that her children were protestant. It also upset her that Frederick III was sided against the rule of Emperor Charles V, joining the Coalition of Protestant rebel princes and using her dowry and English aid to allow him to not be deposed of by the Holy Roman Emperor. England would be a massive supporter of the Schmalkaldic League, especially after the Treaty of Toledo.
In 1546, England would join the forces with the League in the Schmalkaldic War.
Frederick would marry again, this time to Barbara of Hesse (8 April 1536 – 8 June 1597)
[2a] Following the Leauge victory in the Schmalkaldic War, John Frederick I retains the electoral dignity.

[3] In 1547, when 13 year old, Elizabeth succeeded her father, Henry VIII, the discussions of marriage began.

[4] Similar to Henry VIII's brother, during an epidemic of the sweating sickness, the two young princes died, the Duke of York first, followed by his older brother about an hour later, not heeding from history, Henry VIII, in his frail health tried to conceive a new male heir with his wife Anne, however she died in childbirth and the frail prince died three days later.

@The_Most_Happy and I have been discussing various family trees to do with a scenario where all of Katherine's pregnancies come to term with living children.

This is my version of a family tree in that world. I have stolen the names and birthdates to save myself an awful lot of work and some of the matches we have agreed on together, but some are my own choice.

Henry VIII (1491-1547) m. 1509 Katherine of Aragon (1486 -1538) [1]

1. Elizabeth (b.1510) m.1524 John III of Portugal (b. 1502)

- Manuel, Prince of Portugal (1525-1529)
- Enrique, Prince of Portugal (b.1527)
- Infanta Catarina (1530 - 1534)
- Infanta Isabella ( 1532 - 1534)
- Infante Miguel (b. 1535)
- Infanta Ana (b.1537)
- Infante Fernando (1539-1546)
- Infanta Beatriz (1543-1545)

2. Henry, Prince of Wales (b.1511) m.1526 Renee of France (b.1510) [2]

- Anne of Wales (b.1528)
- Elizabeth of Wales (b.1530)
- Henry of Wales (1532-1535)
- Louis of Wales (b. 1533)
- Katherine of Wales (b.1536)
- Eleanor of Wales ( 1538-1539)
- Renee of Wales (1540 -1546)
- Thomas of Wales (b.1543)

3. Edward, Duke of York (b.1513) m. 1530 Anne of Cleves (b.1515)

- Margaret of York (b. 1532)
- William of York (b.1535)
- Patience of York (b.1538) [3]
- Edward of York (1541-1543)
- Frederick of York (1544 -1548) [4]

4. John, Duke of Richmond (b.1515-1548) m. 1533 Catherine Willoughby, Baroness Willoughby de Eresby (b.1519)

- Catherine of Richmond (b.1534)
- Mary of Richmond (b.and d.1537)
- Anne of Richmond (b. and d.1540)
- Grace of Richmond (b.1544)

5. Mary (b.1516) m.1533 John, Crown Prince of Denmark (b.1518 -1534)

- Christian Henry, Prince of Denmark (b.1535) [5]

6. Catherine (b.1517) m. 1537 Henry Grey, Marquis of Dorset (b.1517) [6]

- Henry Grey (b.1538)
- Catherine Grey (b.1541)
- Thomas Grey (b.1542)

7. Margaret (b.1518) m. 1537 Adriano, Prince of Piedmont (b.1522) [7]

- Carlo of Piedmont (b.1540)
-Maria of Piedmont (b. and d. 1542)
- Margarita of Piedmont (1544-1547)
- Enrico of Piedmont (b.1546)
- Beatriz of Piedmont (b. 1548)
- Giovanna of Piedmond (b.1551)


[1] I'm assuming that if Katherine wasn't sent away to damp mouldering castles, she might live a little longer even with her cancer.
[2] Henry and Renee marry as part of the peace treaty signed after Pavia. Despite Renee's claims to Brittany that make her a threat to Francis if she's got English support, she's a better match for Henry age wise than Francis's sickly five-year-old daughter Madeleine.
[3] Ned is very Protestant, so his giving his daughter a virtue name doesn't seem out of place to me...and I prefer Patience to Constance.
[4] Named for Frederick the Wise of Saxony who sheltered Martin Luther.
[5] His uncle had a double name, so I thought I'd have Mary name her son for both his grandfathers here.
[6] Catherine elopes while her parents are embroiled in Meg's preparations to go to Savoy, Her marriage is not a happy one once the initial lust runs its course, but they do manage a couple of heirs to the Dorset title.
[7] Butterflies keep this Savoyard Prince alive past the age of one and a bit, and I figured that while not a sparkling match, Savoy would be a solid one for the youngest daughter of the King of England.

Here's a redo of my tree where Richard III wins Bosworth and Edward Middleham survives:

King Richard III (1452-1508), reigned from 1483, M. Anne Neville (1456-1485) and Princess Joanna of Portugal [1] (1452-1587), had issue:

With Anne Neville

1. Prince Edward of Middleham, later King Edward V [2] (1473-1529) M. Joanna of Aragon [3](1479-1555), had issue

1 (A). Princess Anne (1496-1549) M. King Orland I of France [4] (1492-1545), reigned from 1501
1 (B). Prince Richard, later King Richard IV (1499-1523) M. Princess Isabella of Portugal (1500-1548)
1 (C). Prince George, Duke of Gloucester (1502-1560) M. Susanna of Bavaria (1503-1559)

With Joanna of Portugal:

2. Prince Richard, Duke of York (1487-1521) M. Marie d'Albret (1491-1527), had issue:

2 (A). Sir Edward, Duke of York and Count of Rethel (1507-1568)
2 (B). Lady Mary (1509-1550)
2 (C). Sir Richard, Earl of Rutland (1512-1567)


3. Princess Cecily of England (1487-1520) M. Charles II of Savoy [5] (1489-1510), had issue:

3 (A). Duke Amadeus X of Savoy (1504-1556), reigned from 1510.
3 (B). Blanche of Savoy (1507-1550)


.....

[1], Prince Afonso, first husband of Isabella of Aragon in otl lives here.
[2] Number chosen due to Richard's claim his nephews were illegitimate.
[3] OTL Joanna I of Castile, here her sister Isabella dies around the same time as otl, but has issue who inherit Spain.
[4] OTL Charles Orlando, here he lives into adulthood.
[5] Charles II lives into adulthood in this scenario.
 
To be honest, she might not have. I just took the list of kids from the original thread. That being said, if all her pregnancies came to term, the miscarriages would have been longer and therefore pushed the subsequent pregnancies back somewhat...
Apparently she was assumed to be pregnant in 1517 and had a really early miscarriage or was just late due to stress and never really pregnant. I found a couple sources that stated that "The Venetian ambassador wrote in 1517, “the Queen … is supposed to be pregnant” but thereafter, it’s never mentioned again", so I decided to go for broke and give her that pregnancy as well.

The dauphin was betrothed to his OTL wife from 1666-68 IIRC, so I'm not sure such a marriage would be in the cards. Unless the dauphin is betrothed to Katherine until it becomes apparent that Charles II will have no heir. But even then, with the dauphin being an only son, I don't see Louis XIV going for a girl that much younger.

Just my opinion

What about changing Charlotte and Henrietta’s husbands over?

if not Dauphin how about Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria (1662-1726) this give England three major monarchs of the Holy Roman Empier

Charles III? Is Charles II for both England and Spain.
Baltasar Carlos will marry Mariana, not a Braganza girl (maybe Philip IV if the dowry is big enough can be persuaded to marry her in a peace treaty)

I made him marry a Braganza girl to silence the Braganzas.
