Quick Notes:
- Isabella of Portugal here marries the Duke of Savoy around 1519, while her sister is married in the late 1520s to the Duke of Calabria. Isabella has four surviving children, the two Dukes of Savoy recorded in this family tree, the daughter who marries the ATL Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I as his second wife, and a second daughter, who dies at 16 in 1551, unmarried.
- Margaret of Austria is married to the King of England as a sort of punishment for her poor behaviour in Italy. Basically, her marriage to Boniface produces no children, her marriage to Alessandro is such a failure that neither child she has during this time is believed to be his by the inner circle (although this isn't common knowledge and since they both die young it matters little) and when Henry VIII is looking for his fourth wife, she's offered to him to (a) secure England for the Hapsburgs, and (b) prevent her from further embarrassing the family in Italy, as at this point she has made noises about marrying Manuel of Naples, only child of the Duke of Calabria by his Portuguese wife, who will die unmarried in 1567. Margaret's marriage to Henry is actually a success, in part because she loves being adored, in part because he finds her extremely attractive, and in largest part because their two children, born in quick succession in 1539 and 1540, are sons. The elder, Henry, dies young, but the younger Philip survives and goes into be King of England. She has high ambitions for her family, and negotiates a match between her son and a niece of hers, along with her younger stepdaughter to the King of Portugal.
- Philip's involvement in Italy is mostly a fuck-you to the French, where Francis I finds himself stiffled at every turn. His marriage to the Queen Dowager of Hungary is the biggest humiliation, considering no children are born from it, and his attempts to woo the Italian Hapsburgs away from their family alliance, even offering his younger daughter to the future Duke of Milan in 1544 in order to upset that family. Nothing works, and France remains surrounded by Hapsburgs and their allies. By the end of 1560, the Hapsburgs has control over almost half of Italy.
- Tensions between the Austrian, French and Spanish branches of the Hapsburg empire frustrate Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor, who in the 1580's makes moves to split his empire between his sons from his first marriage. Austria and the Holy Roman Empire go to the eldest, then Burgundy for the middle son, and Spain for the youngest. He abdicates in 1593, helping transition his children to power easily.
