List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

Philip William of Neuburg has surviving son with his Vasa wife, meanwhile Edward of Palatinate also has a son, thus Neuburg line isn't going to inherit Electorate of Palatine, instead House of Wittelsbach-Neuburg gets Polish throne after death of John Casimir Vasa.

POD: Ivan Ivanovich Dmitriev-Mamonov (b.1724), son of Tsarevna Praskovia and General Ivan Dmitriev-Mamonov, survives his childhood illness and gets adopted by his aunt Anna Ioannovna as her heir. Which makes Elisabeth's coup more difficult, as the intended heir is a) adult male; b) Russian with a Rurikid blood, and not a baby born from two German parents.

1) Ivan VI of Russia (1724-1777) m. 1740 Sophie-Antoinette of Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel (Anna Feodorovna upon Orthodox conversion)
1a) Feodor IV of Russia (1741-1797) m. 1760 Maria Kuniginde of Saxony (1740-1826) (the marriage is arranged as a condition of Russian support for election of Frederick Christian of Saxony the King of Poland; the bride is known as Maria Feodorovna in Russia)
1) Ivan VII of Russia (1761-1815) m. 1777 Sophia Dorothea of Wurthemberg
2) Maria Feodorovna (1764-1770)
3) Alexander Feodorovich (1765-1825)​
2a) Ivan Ivanovich of Russia (1742-1748), died in childhood
3a) Anna Ioannovna (born and died 1743)
4a) Praskovia Ioannovna (1745-1819) m. 1765 Karl XIV of Sweden (1747-1810) (ATL son of OTL Peter III of Russia, TTL Karl XIII of Sweden, and Anna Amalia of Prussia)
1) Karl XV Peter of Sweden (1767-1825)
2) Eva Ulrika of Sweden* (1770-1830) m. 1791 George IV of Great Britain**
2) Ulrich of Sweden (1771-1780), Duke of Södermanland​
5a) Michael Ivanovich (1746-1798) m. 1768 Princess Elena Nikitichna Trubetskaya.
1) Ekaterina Mikhailovna (1769-1824)
2) Anna Mikhailovna (1770-1840)
3) Praskovia Mikhailovna (1772-1832)
4) Elena Mikhailovna (1775-1850)​
6a) Pyotr Ivanovich (1747-1749), died in childhood
7a) Ekaterina Ioannovna (born and died 1750)

Note:
* The name Eva is short of Parasceva, Latin version of the Princess' mother name, which is unlikely to be used.
** Maria Fitzherbert dies of pneumonia in 1790 TTL, leaving George more amenable for marriage.​

Notes:
*Spain's numeration follow that of Castile. I am pretty sure who Ferdinand VI of Spain will be also called Ferdinand III in Aragon and Ferdinand II in Portugal. I ended giving only a surviving daughter to Carlos and Isabella and then marrying her to her half-uncle (under order of Felipe II) was quite natural... Plus another Isabella and Ferdinand on the Spanish throne? I was unable to resist...

** After the death of Sebastian few months before their wedding Marguerite will elope with Henry of Guise while her mother was defining the details of her engagement to the heir of Navarre... The chronicles reported who the King Francis' reaction to the news and the fury of his mother in reporting that was a prolonged laugh and this request: "Mother, please... Now you can stop to intrigue?"... In many suspected who the King had blessed the escape as he was against the Navarrese's match and liked Guise but feared his mother's reaction...
Francis II is born healthier and will live and reign many years and have children by Katherine, his sister Claude will be married to the Duke of Lorraine as OTL. Henry II died as OTL during the tournament for the wedding of Elisabeth to the Prince of Asturias but Catherine de'Medici here will never be in power as regent and instead will be remembered as the feared French "Queen of Intrigues" and for being the cause of her children's embarrasses and exasperation (King Francis II most cited quote was "You know my mother, there is little who I can do..."). In the end Francis exiled her in her lands of Auvergne and Boulogne in 1573...

I know who maybe I have put too many intermarriages here but really European royals were almost all kins and after inheriting Spain the Habsburg had developed a strong tendency to marry in the family so...

I have not thought too much to the children for both Francis II of France and Henry IX of England but I know who Henry IX' eldest son will be Charles II James, King of England, Scotland, Ireland and Duke of Burgundy and Lord of the Netherlands and he will be a good friend of his cousin Charles IX of France (who will marry his cousin Christine of Lorraine, only surviving daughter and heiress of Charles III and Claude of France)

As was asked why Sigismund of Austria and not Johan Vasa as king of Poland after Sigismund II:
Isabella of Poland died when her son was three and the boy was under Elizabeth’s supervision (who was a great supporter of her stepson as heir of Poland, as that would have made her sons as heirs of their father) starting from four years. Sigismund II here never married Catherine of Austria because Barbara Radzwill lived but they remained childless. When Sigismund was around ten year old, his stepmother sent him to his uncle in Poland as ward and the Sejm pretty much accepted him as heir (in OTL they were pretty desperate to have an heir from Sisgimund). Johan is only married to a Jagiellon princess while Sigismund is son and grandson of two Jagiellon princesses and was partially raised in Poland and his wedding to Archduchess Anne was arranged between Sigismund II and Maximilian II. So I do not think who Johan will have great chances against someone who is practically a Polish prince with just the wrong surname...
 
another tree (definitely still much work-in-progress). As usual question, comments and suggestions are welcome

notes
* Edward of Warwick here died in 1484 of an illness, like Edward of Middleham (likely they were killed by the same illness) so Margaret became a great heiress as she inherited the whole Beauchamp/Montague inheritance. She was married to Richard of York after the regent Gloucester persuaded the Dowager Queen to let the Mowbray's inheritance to the legitimate heirs...

**Isabella Beatrice Sforza is the daughter and only child of Ercole Massimiliano Sforza (aka Maximilian I of Milan, eldest son of Ludovico Sforza "il Moro" and Beatrice d'Este) and of his wife and cousin Bona Sforza (daughter of Gian Galeazzo Sforza and Isabella of Aragon-Naples). Maximilian's younger brother Francesco (OTL Francis II) decided who he had no intention to make Bona and Isabella his enemies contesting his niece's claim and instead supported her
 
John Albert and Alexander Jagiellon die as teenagers, Frederick Jagiellon dies as infant, remaining sons of Casimir Jagiellon are thus under bigger pressure to marry. Vladislaus consumates his marriage with Barbara Hohenzollern, while Sigismund (who is father's heir in Poland and Lithuania after death of Saint Casimir) marries Kunigunde of Austria (who was intended to marry Saint Casimir IOTL). Smaller Jagiellon dynasty means, that there is no war over Hungarian throne between Jagiellon brothers like IOTL-Vladislaus is only Jagiellon candidate to the Crown of St Stephen. As result his position on Hungarian throne is stronger and he does not need to make pacts with Maximilian.
Sigismund, who from the very beginning of his reign rules both Poland and Lithuania (unlike John Albert and Alexander, who divided father's inheritance between themselves) also is in better position than IOTL (and would avoid Mielnik priviledge and nihil novi law.

2a Thomas Boleyn (1501-1508)

3a Stillborn daughter (1502)

4a Henry Boleyn (1503-1517)

5a George Boleyn, Earl of Pembroke (1504–) m 1521 Lady Katherine ‘Kathy’ Stafford, Countess of Pembroke

- Edmund Boleyn, Viscount Branksome (1522 -)

6a Catherine Boleyn (1506-1510)

7a Anne Boleyn, Marchioness of Lancaster & Countess of Northumberland (1507 -) m 1523 Henry Percy, Marquis of Lancaster & Earl of Northumberland

- Margaret Percy (1523 -)

- Philippa Percy (1525 -)

Notes: I remember reading somewhere that Thomas once said of Elizabeth 'she brought me every year a child'. I have followed that here, with the exception of 1505, because I always see George as born in October and I simply couldn't fit another pregnancy between his birth in October and Catherine's birth in 1506. I have also followed my own head canon with regards to Henry Boleyn's death. See my A03 story 'Three-Summer Queen' for more details. Henry VIII also has Princess Mary (1516 -) with Katherine of Aragon, who died in childbirth with a stillborn boy in 1518. And yes, Richard, Katherine and Jacquetta are triplets.

Would parliament or royal court ever allow such? Catholic children at least would lost their place in line of succession.

Out of curiosity, how does Guise assassinating Henri III first remove Henri de Bourbon from the succession? Since the only way that Bourbon/Navarre ain't gonna jump into the fray is if he isn't alive. Secondly, how does Savoy be annexed à la Navarre, if there was no Henri le Grand that brought it into PU here? Thirdly, how do Modena and Bavaria wind up annexed to France? They don't even share a land border, so wouldn't they just be held in personal union? Not to mention to annex a territory implies a wartime victory rather than a peaceful succession.

Also, why doesn't Guise climb onto the throne himself instead of Bourbon? Wasn't that the plan? That someone from the house of Lorraine would marry Isabel Clara Eugenia and then they would rule France. And then the duc de Mayenne got greedy.

In 1585, Henri III had to sign the Treaty of Nemours and make Cardinal Charles of Bourbon his heir instead of Henri de Navarre.
 
It's quite simple: the Catholic League headed by Henry of Guise refused to consider Henry of Navarre, the male heir more near to Henry III, as a legitimate heir to the French Crown because he was Protestant (and actually the French Royal Succession Laws said that the King had to be male and Catholic). In 1585 they defeated and forced Henry III to recognize Cardinal Charles of Bourbon as his heir, the only Catholic Bourbon. From this moment until his death Henry of Guise was the real ruler of France. OTL Henry III, fearing to be assassinated, decided to act first and had Henry of Guise killed and his family purged, then he proceeds to confirm Henry of Navarre as his heir. Wanting vendicate the catholic party, a mad friar killed Henry III the next year and Henry of Navarre accepted to convert to Catholicism to become Henry IV of France.
The POD is that Henry of Guise heard Henry III's intentions and had him assassinated before. Cardinal Charles, although he didn't want usurp the Crown from Henry of Navarre, is forced to become King. It was obvious at time as today that Cardinal Charles could not have heirs, so the plan was to...elect a new king after his death. I could sound strange, but the Catholic League, opposing to absolutist power of the King, wanted also reinstated the General States role in France and pushing for a more parliamentary system (opposing the aristocracy even). So their plan was to have the General States elect a new King: Henry of Guise was not a candidate, instead was Isabel Clare Eugenie of Habsburg-Spain, who was declared the "legitimate ruler" of France by the Parliament of Paris during the Religious Wars. Isabel had claims because she was the daughter of Philip II of Spain and Elisabeth of Valois, eldest daughter of Henry II and sister of Henry III. So at Charles X death, she is elected new Queen of France, changing the Succession Laws allowing the female succession (it was thought that being female was less problematic that be a heretic).Probably Isabel would have marry same French Prince (not Henry of Guise that was just married) but she hadn't children, so the succession falls on his sister Catherine Michelle, died in 1597, and her son, Duke Victor Amadeus I of Savoy.
Longstanding policies of French Monarchy were avoid in every case to split French territory, so to annex before or later every new territory, even if in personal union. Navarre case is the perfect example: it was a separate Kingdom, even with succession laws different, and formed a personal union with France but after few decades the Kingdom of France formalized Navarrese annexation, turning it in a French province. it was not an isolated case: United Kingdom too is born when England de facto annexed Scotland, that was in personal union. No war, no victory, no battles. Simply annexation. In this case Savoy is annexed to avoid that, according to the different Savoy succession laws, the Carignano Line could become new Savoy Dukes. If you have Savoy and Piedmont is pretty easy annex Modena. My bet is that France, without revolution and with same lucky wars, realizes its dream to have the Left Side of Rhine, and if you have the Rhine is easier make an union with Bavaria.

House of Sobieski. Changes: Jan III is killed in the Battle of Parkany, just after Vienna, in glory of hero. On the wave of his fame his son Jakub is elected to be his successor. Jakub gets Polish throne and marries surviving Archduchess Maria Josepha Clementina. After two generations and60 years on the throne and thanks to intermarriage with Habsburgs status of Sobieski family improved and they're no longer seen as mere noble family, thus semi-dynastic rule in PLC known from Vasa times returns, and later, under Jakub II, is officially replaced with hereditary monarchy under House of Sobieski (with boring Danish style alternation of monarchs named Jan and Jakub).
