Do I see a Maria Manuela, Lady of the Netherlands?Philip, Lord of the Netherlands b 1527
Do I see a Maria Manuela, Lady of the Netherlands?Philip, Lord of the Netherlands b 1527
If she exists ittl, she would almost certainly marry John III and not his younger brotherDo I see a Maria Manuela, Lady of the Netherlands?
True. Margaret of Valois are a likelier option for Philip. If he gets a french match.If she exists ittl, she would almost certainly marry John III and not his younger brother
Either that or an english match make sense to meTrue. Margaret of Valois are a likelier option for Philip. If he gets a french match.
If Catherine of Aragon goes as she goes and Henry remarries to Anne Boleyn or some other lady. Ferdinand might be more supportive in his aunt, but since he does not have the empire, and thus no reason to involve himself with Milan, no beef with France.Either that or an english match make sense to me
Modifying this idea.Mary Tudor is born a prince and Catherine's last pregnancy yielded a living son in 1518.
Henry VIII of England b 1491 d 1545 m a) Catherine of Aragon b 1485 d 1535, b) Marie of Bourbon b 1515 d 1544
Issue:
-Edward VI of England b 1516 m Isabella of Austria b 1520*
-Henry, Duke of York b 1518 m Katherine Willoughby b 1519
-Catherine Tudor b 1537
-Elizabeth Tudor b 1540
-Mary Tudor b 1542
*Without having to wait for Mary to grow up, Charles marries Isabella of Portugal in 1519 and they have six living children, Isabella, Philip, Juan, Maria, Juana and Ferdinand.
Friedrich of Saxony? Ludwig V of the Palatinate?The problem is: who would be that Emperor?
Very doubtful match and timing. The fifth daughter of an upstart ruler for the King of England? Sweden has also just had a coup d'etat, and ended a costly war with nothing to show for it, it's hardly a tempting situation to get involved in.1) Henry IX, King of England (1554-1601) m. 1571 Elizabeth, Princess of Sweden (1549-1597)
No way Christian goes for a Swedish-aligned English bride, unless there are major diversions from OTL creating a Swedish-Danish alliance before the entry into the 30YW.2) Jane, Princess of England (1574-1645) m. 1595 Christian IV, King of Denmark and Norway (1577-1648)
Why are all Christian’s daughters becoming Princesses of Sweden, I'm guessing a typo?1) Elizabeth, Princess of Sweden (1596-1660)2) Christian V, King of Denmark and Norway (1598-1653)3) Frederick III, King of Denmark and Norway (1600-1660)4) Sophie, Princess of Sweden (1601-1659)5) Jane, Princess of Sweden (1603-1673)6) Henry, Prince of Sweden (1605-1669)
Yup. Typo. EditedWhy are all Christian’s daughters becoming Princesses of Sweden, I'm guessing a typo?
Didn't Maria have a stillborn twin?Maria of Aragon is born a son in 1482
Katherine would NEVER get the Netherlands as here Philip would most likely have more than one child by Maria Manuela (or would remarry to Maria of Viseu and have more children by her) and that children would be also ahead of Charles in the Portuguese‘s succession...Manuel I, King of Portugal m. Eleanor, Archduchess of Austria
1) Charles, Infante of Portugal (b. 1520) m. Mary I, Queen of England (b. 1516)
1) Katherine I, Queen of England and Sovereign of the Netherlands (b. 1555) m. 1570 Ernest, Archduke of Austria (b. 1553)1) Charles I, King of England and Sovereign of the Netherlands (b. 1571) m. Marie Elisabeth, Princess of France (b. 1572)2) Mary I, Queen of Portugal (b. 1558) m. 1580 Philip II, King of Spain (b. 1527)1) Ferdinand I, King of Portugal (b. 1581) m. 1599 Eleanor, Archduchess of Austria (b. 1582)1) Philip I, King of Portugal (b. 1600) m. Anne, Infanta of Spain (b. 1601)2) Joan, Infanta of Portugal (b. 1582) m. 1604 Philip Emmanuel, Prince of Piedmont (b. 1586)1) Philip III, Duke of Savoy (b. 1605) m. Margarita, Infanta of Spain (b. 1610)2) Maria, Duchess of Viseu (b. 1521)
- never married, had no issue -
ITTL Charles went to England to ask for Mary's hand and she fell head over heels in love and accepted, and Philip II was unavailable because Maria Manuela survived childbirth.
Charles as the son of Manuel I while Philip is just grandson - and Philip is ahead?and that children would be also ahead of Charles in the Portuguese‘s succession...
Maria Manuela, being daughter of John III, and her children by Philip would be ahead of Charles, who is simply John’s half-brother (and Charles being still unmarried in the 1550s is pretty ridiculous).Charles as the son of Manuel I while Philip is just grandson - and Philip is ahead?
Maria gave up her succession rights, didn't she? And John had no other surviving descendant besides Sebastian who died childless. (Mary isn't Charles' first wife - I just don't know who the first would be)Maria Manuela, being daughter of John III, and her children by Philip would be ahead of Charles, who is simply John’s half-brother (and Charles being still unmarried in the 1550s is pretty ridiculous).
