List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

Oh interesting, and perhaps producing kids with her as well? Thus meaning his son Carlos marries Elisabeth de Valois here
Possibly producing children but if not, it isn’t an issue. Keeping Elizabeth off the market is Philip’s only way of making sure his son isn’t overthrown.
Think Edward is probably out given how the last King Edward treated Mary, Henry might happen, but may not.
I doubt Mary would name her son after her dad, who divorced her mum and made her an illegitimate child.
An alternative name could be Arthur, cementing the legend that he is God’s saviour of the Brits

Other names used by Philip:
- Ferdinand
- Laurence
- Diego
- Félix

Although it’s not unusual for medieval monarchs to use the same name on more than one child, for example James III of Scotland named two of his sons James.
You could have Charles/Carlos the Spanish and Charles the English or even their titles Carlos, Prince of Asturias and Charles, Prince of Wales to differentiate between the brothers
 
What about John? It wasn't the most popular name for English monarchs for obvious reasons, but Phillip had a younger brother named John, while it was also the name of Mary's uncle... He could also possibly be named Phillip after his father...

Could she be placed in a convent or is that too late to do much?

philip abd Arthur work for me

oh reclaiming the name John would be good

Unrealistic? Yes. Fun? Absolutely:


Queen Mary I (1516-1562), reigned from 1553 M. King Philip II of Spain (1527-1598) reigned from 1556, had issue

1. Queen Catherine I of England and the Netherlands (1555-1612) M. King Francis III of France [1] (1555-1609), reigned from 1589, had issue

1 (A). King Henry IX Of England, I of the Netherlands and IV of France (1577-1634)
1 (B). Prince Philippe, Duke of York and Orleans (1579-1618)
1 (C). Princess Mary (1581-1621)
1 (D). Princess Catherine (1581-1629)


....

[1] OTL Francis of Anjou.

I know this would never happen but I decided to do it anyways as this Anglo-French-Dutch Empire would be a good counterbalance to the Habsburgs. Also the idea of Philip raging at this is hilarious.

I wonder if Charles in 1550 would already push his son instead of accepting to marry Mary himself.

N/A


...

[1] Divorced in 1530 after failing to give Henry a son, Henry marries long time lover Elizabeth Blount. Elizabeth I doesn't marry due to taking a vow of celibacy and so all hopes on her line lies on her sister who does not have any issue.
[2] A mistress of Henry VIII since 1519, has two children by the time of their marriage who are legitimised. Henry VIII still splits with the Church. Blount dies of a flu. Margaret dies in a horse riding accident and Fitzroy dies of the sweat.
[3]. Still does her magic, they have one son named Henry, she dies in childbirth like Jane Seymour in otl.
[4] An alt daughter of Marguerite of Angouleme and the Duke of Alencon, Margot converts but falls out of favour and is imprisoned and later dies under suspicious circumstances. Katherine gets the Mary treatment but becomes this scenario's equivalent to Elizabeth I, but with issue. Katherine I is Protestant, but has Catholic sympathies and wants peace with the Catholics in Europe, hence the marriages.
[5] Alt daughter of Tom Boleyn and Elizabeth Howard, Henry VIII marries her due to her resemblance to Anne but Elizabeth cheats on him and so is beheaded.
[6] An OTL noblewoman, she survives.

What happens to Catherine of Aragon? She dies with Arthur.
