All well and good, but would Manuela not suffer the same fate as Lizzie of York when/if Marie of Burgundy's daughter is available.
However, Fernando and Isabel only married in October 1469, while Manuela is a May baby, so thin end of the wedge that that marriage might not occur, I guess.
Okay, let's kick the wedding up further. 1480. And have a pregnancy in 1486. But the possibility of Manuela being put aside is strong, but it might piss of Joao and I'm not sure that France want's to make a enemy out of Portugal.

What's Portugal gonna do about it? Castile-Aragon is between them and the Pyrenees (Castile-Aragon who don't like João either). England was across the Channel and presumably had Edward IV not kicked the Easter after the Christmas his daughter was dumped, they would've made a pretty big fuss about it (pairing up with Emperor Maximilian and the dowager duchess of Burgundy).
