POD: Mary of York survives, marries John, King of Denmark.

John, King of Denmark (b. 1455) m. 1485 Mary of York (b. 1467)

1. Elizabeth (b. 1485) m. Arthur Tudor (b. 1486)
2. Edward (b. 1486) m. Katherine of Aragon (b. 1485)
3. Christian (b. 1488) m. Germaine of Foix (b. 1488)
4. Dorothea (b. 1489) m. Charles II, Duke of Savoy (b. 1489)
No German marriages for a whole 4 kids of a Danish king is a huge break from tradition. What butterflies his marriage to Christina of Saxony?
 
POD: Edward VI lives longer, marries first Elisabeth of Valois, then Mary Queen of Scots.

Edward VI (b. 1537) m. 1559 Elisabeth of Valois (1545-1568) [a] m. 1568 Mary, Queen of Scots (b. 1542)

1a. Jane (b. 1562) m. Charles Emmanuel I, Duke of Savoy (b. 1562)
2a. Margery (b. 1563) m. Henry II, Duke of Lorraine (b. 1563)
3a. Claude (b. 1564) m. Henry Percy, 9th Earl of Northumberland (b. 1564)
4a. Dorothy (b. 1565) m. Cesare d'Este, Duke of Moderna (b. 1562)
5a. Margaret (b. 1566) m. Sigismund III Vasa (b. 1566)
6a. Elisabeth (b. 1567) m. Charles of Lorraine (b. 1567)
7a. Catherine (b. 1568) m. Gustav of Sweden (b. 1568)
8b. Henry IX (b. 1570) m. Anna de Medici (b. 1569)
9b. James VI (b. 1572) m. Marie Elisabeth of France (b. 1572)
10b. Charles (b. 1575) m. Anne of Denmark (b. 1574)


(Do I know that it is unlikely to have seven girls in a row? Yes. Was I inspired by Francesco I de Medici, who had six daughters in a row? Also yes. Am I aware that Margery and Margaret are similar names and therefore unlikely to be used for the same family? Yes. Could I come up with any better name? No.)
 
He was in talks to marry Mary of York before Christina, so the POD here is that she survived and the marriage is successfully organized
Hadn’t read that before, interesting. That said, no German marriages is still very out of tradition when it comes to a Danish king’s children. What motivates this switch? Does Denmark become more entangled in Western Europe instead of Scandinavia?

AIUI the reason he finally decided AGAINST Mary while she was still alive was due to her age. Alternately it was perhaps (also)an issue with Edward IV's policy against Hans' brother-in-law/nephew in Scotland. The period 1477-1479 Edward was being ambiguous to the duke of Albany about marriage to Cecily of York instead of Cecily's betrothal to Hans' nephew, the duke of Rothesay

Perhaps - or perhaps they're avoiding the Habsburg fate...the true answer is that I couldn't find an appropriate German match for these children

I mean, her age doesn't matter much if she suddenly becomes a VERY powerful heiress for example...
