Unlikely as he has already accepted the match with Bona at this pointThat in turn makes Eleanor available for Sigismund

You needed to specify that point. If John is King, then he can marry Eleanor, but still the birth dates of the children need to be readjusted as Eleanor’s elder children can NOT be born in 1518… and the matches of the children still need to be changed (as Mary Tudor is the only one who can work, but at that point your POD is the survival of the New Year Prince and that change a lot of things around before Maria’s OTL death)…I just said that Maria outlived her husband, as in, they switched death dates. As king, John can marry whoever he pleases
Why?Eleanor’s elder children can NOT be born in 1518…
Twins at her first pregnancy are unlikely and unless she married in January or February can not have a child in the same year.Why?
And who to switch the matches to?

Manuel will marry a Portuguese/Spanish heiress, Eleanor or Maria will marry the Dauphin Francis and the other I do not know…
Wouidn't Jeanne of Navarre be the most logical wife for young Philip? Or you could give Francis III an heiress and have him marry her.
- b) Philip, Duke of Anjou then Orléans (b. 1532) married ? (Catherine of Austria (b. 1533), Eleanor of Austria (b. 1534) or Elizabeth Tudor (b. 1533))
Jeanne also could work in theory but only if Francis was inclined in that way and she was less protestant and determinate…Wouidn't Jeanne of Navarre be the most logical wife for young Philip? Or you could give Francis III an heiress and have him marry her.
Oh? When did that happen?(who would NOT be Duchess of Brittany as the Estates of Brittany had already voted for following the French succession)
In 1532 meaning who Henry of Orléans would inherit the Duchy over a daughter of Francis… the union between France and Brittany became effective at the death of Francis I in 1547 but was already inevitable…Oh? When did that happen?
This daughter of Francis is going to take it lying down? She's not getting Scotland, she's not getting France, she isn't even getting Brittany, so what is she getting?In 1532 meaning who Henry of Orléans would inherit the Duchy over a daughter of Francis… the union between France and Brittany became effective at the death of Francis I in 1547 but was already inevitable…
What has Scotland to do with all of this? We are NOT talking about OTL Francis II of France, but his father’s older brother, and in a timeframe in which Francis I would be still alive… A daughter of Francis III of Brittany would still be a royal princess of France, albeit NOT from the direct line and would be married a such by her uncle.This daughter of Francis is going to take it lying down?

Right, I am a dummy and didn't read properlyWhat has Scotland to do with all of this? We are NOT talking about OTL Francis II of France, but his father’s older brother, and in a timeframe in which Francis I would be still alive… A daughter of Francis III of Brittany would still be a royal princess of France, albeit NOT from the direct line and would be married a such by her uncle.
A daughter of Mary Stuart and Francis II instead would be heiress presumptive of Scotland so most likely will go there with her mother
