Scenario: Katherine of Aragon bore a son to Henry during the Black-friars trial in 1529. Unfortunately, Henry by now no longer loves her, despite now having his much-desired heir. She mysteriously falls down the stairs, breaking her neck, and he marries Anne anyway. This unpopular decision leads to him being overthrown and executed, and his young son put on the throne with his sister, Mary as regent. Mary marries into France, while her brother Henry IX marries Maria of Austria, daughter to Charles V.

Henry VIII (b. 1491-1530) m. 1509, ann. 1529 Katherine of Aragon (b. 1485) [a] Anne Boleyn (b. 1501/07-1530) m. 1530

- Edmund (b. 1553) m. Marguerite de Valois (b. 1553)
- Owen (b. 1555) became bishop
- Jacquetta (b. 1558) m. Matthias, Holy Roman Emperor (b. 1557)
- Elizabeth (b. 1560) became abbess
*Francis III, Duke of Brittany. NOT the son of Henry II of France.

Firstly, Mary's not old enough to be regent for her brother (disregarding how ASB a kid for a 44yo Katherine is).
Secondly, NO WAY THIS SIDE OF BLUE HELL, will ANYONE let her be regent AND marry a Frenchman! Norfolk will be gunning for her for his son, so will Suffolk. And James V.
Problem 3) Maria of Spain marrying Henry means that Maximilian II will need an alt-wife. Good news is that he doesn't have any cousins available. Perhaps France will give him Marguerite de Valois (François I's daughter)? Either way, Henry marrying to Maria has another issue - with their kids' marriages. Margot de Valois is WAY too low to be marrying. If the dauphin survives and has a son at the time you posit (albeit by a different wife) then in all likelihood, François III* will have kids by the 1550s. A match with Margot - a niece/cousin to the king of France - makes zero sense. Much less for them to offer her for the THIRD son. As to Matthias, since Maria of Spain was his mom and Maria's married to the kig of England, he won't exist.
Lastly, names. Mary's second son will be Henri, not John (because why), and she won't name a son Edward either (even OTL Henri III's name of Alexandre Édouard was unpopular enough. And that was as a third name). Same for Henry/Maria's kids. First boys will be Henry/Edward not Philip/Ferdinand, daughters will be Katherine (or Mary) for the first one, Elizabeth/Isabella (for Elizabeth of York/Isabel of Portugal), and then we can go onto all sorts of other names. Jacquetta and Owen seem really unlikely (Charles and Margaret seem more likely IMO).
Lastly, while I'm ALL for the religious life - and admire those who decide to take that step - the amount of kids you stuff in convents and bishop's skirts in your trees is unlikely. The Habsburgs did it because they couldn't marry "down" without doing so morganatically, and they only had so much land to go around. But even under someone as archCatholic as Ferdinand II, none of his sisters/daughters went into convents. Kids who went into the church were USUALLY from cadet lines, particularly if there WASN'T enough money to give them an appropriate dowry.

A few things…

1) Matthias will not exist if his mother marries differently.
2) Why would Henry still seek to have his marriage to Catherine annulled if (apparently by an act of god because she was definitely postmenopausal by this time) she gives him a son? Unless he’s thinking the child is illegitimate because he hasn’t slept with her in FOUR YEARS.
3) I’m sorry but I can’t see Charles, who was merely an archduke of Austria, getting a first rate princess like a daughter of the king of France.

3) I’m sorry but I can’t see Charles, who was merely an archduke of Austria, getting a first rate princess like a daughter of the king of France.

Élisabeth de Valois was offered to either D. Carlos or Karl of Austria OTL. It was sort of a thing of "first one to respond". Not sure what the goal was with Karl, could've been Henri II planned on doing the same with Ferdinand I's sons as what Karl V had planned to do with François I's. So it's not "too ASB" just doubtful that Austria will go through with it - especially if Maximilian marries François I's daughter.

1. Isabella (b. 1501) married Antoine, Duke of Lorraine (b. 1489) in 1515
   1. Isabella, Duchess of Lorraine (b. 1522) married Philip II, Holy Roman Emperor (b. 1520)

Did Antoine die young that Isabella only has one kid?

Ferdinand VI, King of Spain (b. 1503) married Isabella of Portugal (b. 1503) in 1518

3. Ferdinand (1523-1526)
4. Maria (1525)
5. Joanna (1527-1528)
6. Catherine (1530)
7. Beatrice (1531-1533)
8. Alfonso (1533-1537)
9. Anna (1535-1542)

poor Ferdinand-Isabella 2.0. They are together more but have even less luck than Karl-Isabella had OTL

Catherine (b. 1507) married John III, King of Portugal (b. 1502) in 1520

1. Alfonso, Prince of Portugal (1524)
2. Maria Manuela, Princess of Portugal (1526-1528)
3. Isabel, Princess of Portugal (1528-1529)
4. Beatriz, Princess of Portugal (1530)
5. Manuel II, King of Portugal (b. 1531) married Margaret of Austria (b. 1533)
6. Antonio (1535)
7. Luis (1537-1539)

Interesting that their child mortality is even worse TTL. Although if it prevents the inbreeding, I fully understand

Isabella of Spain (b. 1527) m. 1543 Afonso, Prince of Portugal (b. 1526, d. 1548) [a] m. 1549 Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor (b. 1527, d. 1552) m. 1553 Edward VI (b. 1537, d. 1553) [c]

Oooh, interesting! Please explain why on earth Henry would wed Mary of Bourbon if Katherine bore a son, though?

POD Sigismund II of Poland had issue with his first wife, Elizabeth.

Sigismund II Augustus (b. 1520) m. 1543 Elizabeth of Austria (b. 1526, d. 1545)

1. Sigismund III (b. 1544) m. Elisabeth of Valois (b. 1545)
2. Casimir (b. 1545) m. Mary, Queen of Scots (b. 1542)
3. Elizabeth (b. 1545) m. Charles III, Duke of Lorraine (b. 1543)

 

[Jan Olbracht]

POD Sigismund II of Poland had issue with his first wife, Elizabeth.

Sigismund II Augustus (b. 1520) m. 1543 Elizabeth of Austria (b. 1526, d. 1545)

1. Sigismund III (b. 1544) m. Elisabeth of Valois (b. 1545)
2. Casimir (b. 1545) m. Mary, Queen of Scots (b. 1542)
3. Elizabeth (b. 1545) m. Charles III, Duke of Lorraine (b. 1543)

Why is second son of Polish king married to Queen of Scots? Most likely he is married to some Italian princess as he'd likely inherit Italian duchies of his Sforza grandmother.

Presumably Katherine died around the same time as OTL and Henry remarried afterwards.

Also...

[2] Son of Henry VIII (who doesn't break up with Rome ITTL) and his second wife Mary of Bourbon.

A son? Are you sure about that?
