List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

Warwick’s wardship was a too profitable one for going to someone who is NOT Queen Elizabeth OR her son. Getting Warwick’s wardship has nothing to do with trust and everything with money
Disagree, Gloucester makes perfect sense as Clarence's warder. Double uncle, highly trusted.

After all why not? Edward clearly wanted Richard, well, rich and York sr's wardship (who made more than Warwick) was sold to royal favorite Westmorland, who was just about as powerful as Gloucester now is (holding the same estates and stuff). Liz and Grey aren't unlikely but Richard isn't out of the running either.

Richard OVER Queen Elizabeth or Dorset (her eldest son) is almost impossible. Specially when Edward was doing EVERYTHING for securing his son’s inheritance strengthening the position of his in-laws

One nitpick, I don’t think Mary will still die in 1533, I read that she died partially because of her horror at Henry VIII breaking with Rome.

Looking at your post at face value, I'm positively sure Louis XII wouldn't have the absolute gall to just give away the duchy to Henry VIII wouldn't he right?

Lovely tree, but I was very sad to notice that Anne Mowbray didn't get a mention. I know she died as a child, but she did marry Richard of Shrewsbury - though Elizabeth Herbert makes for a good second wife for him!

Agreed about Anne Mowbray and I would add to switch husbands between Eleanor and Elisabeth of Austria as Vladislaus would be available in 1502 (as here Anne of Candale would NEVER be offered) while Sigismund would become a option only after he become King of Poland in December of 1506

Thank you! Sorry about Anne, I forgot completely about her, I’ll go add her in then!

Oh I see, I just figured Maximilian would want a double alliance with the Jagellions and so arranged the matches to be like that on the tree. I’ll go fix it later!
 
Why is Cecily marrying Charles and not Elizabeth? Philip is almost definitely marrying a York girl atl, it makes too much sense not to happen.
I should’ve made it clear, I shuffled around a few matches. Cecily is marrying Charles due to age reasons, and Charles’s betrothal to Elizabeth was broken in 1483, so by the time Charles comes back looking for a bride, Elizabeth is taken, and so Cecily goes to France.

Philip didn’t get a York girl since all were taken, Anne was in Scotland and Catherine in Spain, both alliances are too valuable to break.
He's Duke of Norfolk as well, his second son probably gets it.
He was? I thought he was just the Duke of York?
Are Albany, March, Ross etc taken?
Albany is definitely taken, not sure about the other two. I just choose the Duke of Lothian as it was used in OTL IIRC.

Bridget.

And Burgundy is more important than Scotland.

He was.

March is taken Ross is free.

And no Dukes of Lothian around afaik.
