I see, though I feel like she’d probably nudge her way in there.
She may try to wield some sort of power...maybe Ferdinand still appoints her as his ambassador? Whatever influence she does have will be of the ‘soft’ kind as it’s pretty likely that she is in charge of at least lady Elizabeth’s upbringing and I would expect that she is permitted frequent visitations with her sons.
Very unlikely, Catherine isn’t going to get any formal role in her son’s regency.
I see, so the best thing she can do is try and annoy the council into doing what she wants
I see, I honestly thought she would've held more power but I guess it makes sense in 16th century England.
Juana I of Castile is born male (Ferdinand/Alfonso anyone?) but has very similar personality traits, but isn't called mad.... This is one of several marriages I could see happening, also I imagine things would go better for Catherine of Aragon here, as her marital value won't deteriorate after her mother's death (The succession in Castile is clear here) Also, Isabella of Aragon doesn't die (nor does her first husband) , thanks to my own discretion and the fact that she isn't traveling halfway across Iberia to get the damn Cortes of Aragon to swear her in. Also, Maria of Aragon marries Phillip "The Fair" and while he's still a tool, she would probably be much calmer about her husband's infidelities.

1) Fernando VI's eldest son will marry Madeleine d'Albret (she was already in Fernando el Catolico's custody for this purpose AIUI)
2) Fernando el Catolico will need no excuse to install his niece as queen regnant of Naples when her OTL husband dies. He loathes the Trastamaras, excepting his sister/niece.
3) Alessandra is a rather unlikely name for Lucrezia's daughter. Eleonora (for her mom-in-law), Lucrezia, or...big if, Giovanna (for her mom).
4) a Toledo match is borderline ASB. The main reason Eleonora de Toledo became grand duchess of Tuscany OTL was because her dad, then brotger, were viceroys of Naples (and Karl V had no other girl available to marry Medici. His daughter was refusing to remarry, and Cosimo was refusing to wait). Since that role is likely to go to Alfonso here, no Toledos. Also, assuming Isabel is Eleonora de Toledo's sister, ICR the name,but Karl V originally proposed Eleonora's sister for Cosimo, and when the Florentine ambassador to Naples saw the girl, he wrote back to Cosimo describing her as "una bruttisima" and described her as "exceptionally ugly". And then BEGGED Cosimo to rather delay a few weeks, since there were already marriage talks for Eleonora's ugly sister and honour could be satisfied since Cosimo would then be able to marry Eleonora with no scandal. Cosimo responded by commissioning a nude portrait of himself as Orpheus by Bronzino (was the 16th century version of a "dick pic") and sending it to Naples (and using that as an excuse for the delay).
5) Cadiz is an unlikely dukedom. A traditional royal dukedom like Peñafiel or Villena might go better. Fernando VII only gave it to his youngest brother OTL because he doubted the paternity of the guy and didn't want him to be addressed as infante.
6) nuns living exceptionally long wasn't unheard of. And it certainly had little to do with genetics. Nuns were removed from the dangers of childbed (which a contemporary Venetian compared to the Plague in that only one in three survived) had access to the best healthcare and subsisted on a diet free of the rich, fatty foods nd alcohol that caused their royal betters to be plagued with gout.
Guaranteed
Exactly. As soon Ferdinand II of Naples is dead, Ferdinand of Aragon will marry his widowed niece to his second son and put them on the throne of Naples (he tried that in OTL with Giovanna WITHOUT a son to marry to her)
I would say Eleonora, Lucrezia, Beatrice or Isabella.
Isabel is the elder sister of Eleanor (they had also two younger sisters) and I also can not see that wedding happening. Eleanor will NOT end in Tuscany here (and is unlikely who also Alessandro or Cosimo will become Duke of Florence) but maybe she can end as second wife of Alfonso if he has already sons and remarried for love
True and true
In all honesty, I picked Alessandra since that would be the female version of her maternal grandfather's name, which doesn't seem all that unlikely given that Alfonso and Lucrezia named their eldest son Alessandro. I honestly wasn't sure about who should marry Alfonso, but I was thinking either a local high ranking noble, or perhaps an Italian would work, the latter would be more useful once he is King of Naples. Of course nuns would have lived longer, but, OTL Juana's youngest daughter also inherited her mother's very long lifespan, and that's with all of her pregancies.
For a surviving First Mexican Empire, following the ideas of this thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...an-empire-survive.505012/page-2#post-21611974

Cristino isn't a name (or a word), the Spanish version of Christian is Cristián.
yeah I meant Cristiano, that was a typo along with a few others I just fixed. Just having fun. Might do a quick TL based on this. Got a PM list for Agus I and Agus II already.
Actually, several 19th and 20th century Spanish infantes had the name (the male of Cristina):
- Alfonso Maria Cristino Justo (1912-1936), son of the duke of Galliera
- Alfonso Pio Cristino, Prince de los Asturias (1907-1938)
- Alfonso Cristino Teresa (1941-1956) the ill-fated brother of Juan Carlos
- Pedro de Alcantara (several names) Cristino, duque de Durcal (1862-1892) son of Infante Sebastian
- Luis (several names) Cristino, duque de Ansola (1864-1889) brother of the preceding
Nevermind then. I'm from a Spanish speaking country and never heard of that name. It must have fallen out of use.

I really thought this would be easier. I could not come up with a plausible backstory for some of them. And the real reason for the change in number was that i wanted it easier
