I can not see a match between the eldest daughter of the Queen of England and someone with John Sigismund Zapolya who was a Catholic without any crown or financial stability… Louise of Lorraine also was Catholic and sound pretty unlikely as wife of an English prince. Henry IV’s sister Catherine of Bourbon-Navarre (born 1559) sound as a far likelier match than her

John Sigismund Zapolya was flip-floppy in the matters of religion, and had he survived beyond 1572, he'd be King of Poland.
John Sigismund Zapolya was like Anne of Cleves who flipped between religions often...

Wait, Renée wouldn’t exist in alt as Anne of Brittany has zero reason to marry Louis XII, and even if she does this marriage is a bit of a waste, more likely Charles X marries Catherine of Austria.
Catherine of Austria...is she not destined for Portugal?
Although yeah I forgot Renee likely won't exist if Anne and Louis don't wed...
She’s only destined for Portugal of Eleanor or one of her younger sisters don’t marry into it. Getting Eleanor to marry there should be easy enough, just have them get the dispensation sooner (this is why her marriage to John III never happened and why she married Manuel instead).
Wasn't she married to Manuel because Charles didn't want to marry Isabella?

True, plus here Louis of Orleans will stay married to Jeanne until her death…
Yes, the reason was that one but here will not be a problem as Charles V will be already married to Mary Tudor at the death of Ferdinand II of Aragon

And why exactly would this law be accepted...
Also who on earth is this 1991 born Henry IX, and 1956 George VI?
