List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

You could have Cecily’s children with John Welles survive, in particular Anne (b. 1491), the same age as alt Henry and heiress to the Welles estates if she were to survive.
Alt Henry isn't born until 1498, but I take your point.
Savoy is NOT a Kingdom and the English King has already a son… As much I like your tree I can not see Henry VII being able to get Juana as second wife with him having already a son and an unstable Crown

Henry VII ruled in his own right so any Yorkist blooded would be good enough. Anne is engaged to Thomas Howard but I guess who he could accept the switch to Katherine.
Burgundy wasn't a kingdom either, and Juana still married Phillip OTL....

Oh, I agree this probably isn't a realistic tree . But I realised that no one had ever suggested an Anne of Brittany/Philip the Handsome match, so I was playing with that, and then wondered what to do with Juana, if her OTL husband was taken... As I said, I never really thought it through fully, it was more of an abstract half-idea...

Burgundy was one of the richest duchies in Europe and Philip was the son and heir to Emperor Maximilian. It's a different scenario.
 
Since this thread is at its end, here’s a remake of the first tree I made here, where Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon have a son in 1516:

King Henry VIII (1491-1547) m. Katherine of Aragon (1485-1539), had issue
1. King Henry IX of England (1516-1568) m. Dorothea of Denmark (1520-1580), had issue​
1. King John II of England (1535-1586)​
2. Prince Edward, Duke of York (1536-1589)​
3. Princess Katherine of England (1538-1598)​
4. Princess Elizabeth of England (1540-1600)​
5. Princess Dorothy of England (1540-1597)​
6. Prince Edmund of England, Duke of Somerset (1543-1585)​
2. Princess Elizabeth of England (1518-1569) m. Duke Francis III of Brittany (1518-1536), had issue​
1. King Henri II of France (1534-1579)​
2. Prince François, Duke of Berry (1536-1590)​
3. Prince Edward, Duke of York (1519-1529)​

I had done an Anne of Brittany/Philip the Handsome tree but Juana ended with Maximilian in mine (and that was answering to @Kellan Sullivan request) you can find my tree here

First Burgundy was like the richest realm around, second Philip was likely to become his father’s successor as Holy Roman Emperor, third that matches (Philip/Juana and Juan/Margaret) sealed a primary alliance against both the French and the Ottomans

Who is Henri Emanuele of Savoy's mom? Since the name would indicate either a French or English mother. If French, his dad was angling for Élisabeth's de Valois, who'd be too young, if English, Savoy seems rather low. Since Edward VI is born in 1531 I can only assume he's Anne Boleyn's son (with an earlier annulment), and a "legitimate" Elizabeth would likely be paired off with either Maximilian II, TTL Carlos II of Spain (OTL she was offered to both Felipe II and Ferdinand II of Austria before her dad died) or João Manuel of Portugal (another match considered for about 5-6 years). Some fresh Tudor blood would do wonders to muck out the Aviz genepool IMO
 
James V, King of Scots [1513-1564], King of Denmark and Norway [1534[1]-1564] (1512-1564) m: 1533 Dorothea of Denmark (b.1520)

I really don’t see either the burgher party or the nobility (Evangelical or Catholic) backing the King of Scots over either of Frederik’s children. It would be difficult for James to stake a claim on his wife’s behalf across the North Sea.
