Yes, ITTL Henry V lives longer and sires a daughter. I forgot to mention this (which I intended to do).The asterisk marking Catherine of Lancaster? Who is she? Henry V's daughter I'm assuming

It was developed from an idea elsewhere of WI Francis pressed his claim, and one of the ideas suggested was that Francis marries OTL Victoria, possibly through earlier Catholic Emancipation and a change to the succession laws.
Here that doesn't happen, but the Prince of Wales, and the Duke of Clarence provide issue so Victoria never becomes the Heir Presumptive and remains a relatively minor Princess throughout her life and is allowed to marry a relatively minor - and Catholic - Prince because her accession was considered extremely unlikely.
Alexander of Modena would consider himself the King Claimant not just because of Francis of Modenas claim, but because of his mother's claim to the crown too. So even outside of the Jacobite line claim, there is the "Victorian" claim as well.
One of the reasons for allowing Victoria to marry Francis would be to try and bring the Jacobite claim (unpressed as it had been since the death of the Cardinal Duke) under "Hanoverian" control. It somewhat backfired.
(more likely Victoria gets the "pleasure" of marrying Willem III of the Netherlands
Thanks, corrected.Slight typo here. You have Edward V, son of Edward IV also listed as Edward IV...
That said, that's a very interesting TL you've got there! I like it!
4) Francis I (1498-1549) King of France 1516-1549
Charles VIII had younger brother named Francis IOTL (Francis, Duke of Berry born in 1473), so it would not be first Valois Francis.If you're going for the names not used by royal line of Valois (first king or royal son Francis was OTL Francis I, who was not the son of Charles VIII) why didn't you name the lad Edward, after maternal grandfather? It is more natural than naming the child after distant cousin, who is still a small child at time of birth of Charles's younger son and is not important.

I like this, but I'm not sure I fully understand it. Why is this 'Gender-flipped' Georgians??
The gender of George III's children and grandchildren has been flipped.
Gender flipped maybe, but the consorts don't really make much sense. You've got the Princess Royal marrying a reasonably unimportant prince, and her younger sister to a royal prince. George IV's wife dies with no issue and he lives another 30years without remarrying? Pretty ASB IMO.
