List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

1. Henry VII of England (1457 - 1521) m. Elizabeth of York (1466 - 1513) m. 1485
a. Arthur I of England (1487 - 1552) m. Margaret of Scotland (1486 - 1543)​
b. Christiana of England (1488 - 1561) m. Christian II of Denmark (1481 - 1559)​
c. Owen Tudor, Duke of Powys (1491 - 1567) m. Mary FitzGerald (1493 - 1555)​
d. Henry Duke of York (1496 - 1562) m. Anna von Oldenburg (1501 - 1576​
Nice tree, but for me Owen and Christiana are pretty unlikely names for Henry VII’s children…
Edward, Edmund and Henry would be all used before Owen and I think who if Henry VII choose to use a Welsh name for one of his sons that would be Jasper not Owen
 
Charles the Bold m. Isabella of Bourbon(b) Margaret of York(c)
1b. Mary of Burgundy b. 1457 m. Maximilian I b. 1459(a)
1a. Eleanor of Austria b. 1478
2a. Margaret b. 1480
3a. Frederick b. 1481
2c. Philip IV of Burgundy/Philip VII of France b. 1477 m. Anne of York(a)
2c?a. Charles IX of France b. 1500 m. Claude of France b. 1499

Why sigismund? Openly carrying favor with the emperor isn't too obvious a boon, especially when the emperor is weak and locked in a succession dispute with his relations.

Probably ASB, but who knows:

Wilhelm II, King of Württemberg (1848-1921) m: 1881 Beatrice of the United Kingdom[1] (1857-1944)

Karl Christoph Albrecht, Crown Prince of Württemberg (1882-1928) m: 1900 Alexandrine of Hannover[2] (1882-1914)
Viktoria Adelheid Alexandrine (b.1904)​
Maria Luise Karoline (1905-1905)​
Karl Wilhelm Ernst (1908-1918[3])​
Ludwig Albrecht Wilhelm, Prince of Württemberg (b.1909)​
Elisabeth Wilhelmine Auguste (b.1912)​
Wilhelm Georg Eduard (b.1914)​
Wilhelm Friedrich Ludwig (b.1885) m: 1903 Wilhelmina, Queen of the Netherlands[4] (b.1881)
Lodewijk[5] Willem Victor, Prince of Orange (b.1906)​
Juliana (b.1909)​
Maria Katharina Elisabeth (b.1888)
Viktoria Maria Beatrix[6] (b.1888)
Friedrich Albrecht Paul[7] (1891-1919)


[1] His mom, and aunt, the queen of the Netherlands were both pushing for this match OTL. Of course Victoria never gave her approval, but here, for some reason, she agrees to it. Wilhelm II gets a far happier second marriage than OTL
[2] Daughter of Thyra and Ernst August of Hannover.
[3] died of polio
[4] Not as crazy a match as might be thought. Twice a British match was proposed for Wilhelmina (once with one of Queen Mary (of Teck)’s brothers and again with another of Victoria’s “domesticated” royals). Neither found favour at the Dutch court due to the gentleman’s low standing (Teck was a morganatic branch and think the other might have been a Battenberg).
[5] OTL Wilhelmina wanted to name Juliana after the nephew of William the Silent, Ludwig of Nassau “Us Heit” because she [Wilhelmina] felt that there had been enough Williams in the family.
[6] Twin of Katharina
[7] hemophiliac

Wait, I’m confused, how did a non-haemophiliac man produce a haemophiliac son?
 
Revolutionary Kingdom of America:
Alexander Hamilton I (1804-1877) {Died of Old Age}

Edward Hamilton (1933-1934) {Abdicated}
Freidrich Hamilton (1934-1956) {Died of Old Age}

Isn't haemophilia transmitted through women? A lot of Queen Victoria's haemophiliac descendants got it from their mother. And off the top of my head, Alfonso XIII of Spain was a non-haemophiliac man with haemophiliac sons.

haemophilia is transmitted through women, but a haemophiliac man (who inherited the gene from his mother) can pass the gene on to his daughters. A non-haemophiliac man, however, cannot pass the gene on. And yes, there are plenty of non-haemophiliac men with haemophiliac sons but that’s because the mothers of those sons were carriers - Alfonso XIII’s wife was a female-line granddaughter of Queen Victoria, who originated the gene for haemophilia in her descendants. She inherited the gene from her mother, who inherited it from Queen Victoria, and then passed it to her sons, who were also Alfonso XIII’s sons.

The point is who the carrier is Beatrice of United Kingdom who can not transmit it to a male-line grandson, whatever her son is haemophiliac or not. Alexandrine of Hannover, who is not a descendant of Victoria, is not a carrier and she was the only one able to transmit the disease to her sons
 
Another not-so-quasi ASB idea:

Napoléon III, Emperor of the French [from 1852] (b.1808) m: 1855[1] Adelheid of Hohelohe-Langenburg (b.1835)

Victoire Adélaïde (b.1856)​
Napoléon Louis, Prince Imperial (b.1859)​
Marie Josèphine Théodorée (b.1861)​
Hortense Louise (b.1863)​
Charles Napoléon (b.1866)​


[1] POD is that Napoléon either doesn’t meet Eugenie de Montijo or he decides she’s not worth it.

As to the probability of the match, while nobody in the extended Coburg network (Victoria, Albert, Leopold of Belgium or Feodore of Leiningen, Adelheid’s mother) was in favour of the match, the comte de Morny was en route to make the official suit when word arrived from Napoléon III to “desist”. Feodore had written to Victoria only days before that “Oh! If we could but only say “No!” at once…” The truth was that the match could not be refused without giving offense.

I’d be fascinated to see the dynamics of that court
