[1] In 1670, England agreed to support the rights of Louis XIV to the Spanish throne in the Treaty of Dover, this would result in England joing France in the War of the Spanish Succession.
[2] A Protestant cousin was suggested as a match from Parliament.
[3] Mary was related to John via her mother (sister of John's mother, Maria Sophia, Queen of Portugal) and her paternal grandmother, Catherine of Braganza (sister of John's father, Peter II, King of Portugal)
[4] The marriage was arranged by Charles III and his uncle James, Duke of York, before he died.
Haven't decided on the younger brothers.
