Supposing Elizabeth's younger brother, Edward VI, lives past 1553 and continues to reign for an extended period of time (having never undergone the malady that killed him OTL), who might he select as a suitor for his older sister Elizabeth?


Legally she and Mary both are only considered the bastard daughters of Henry VIII, but I believe he might see some advantage in wedding one if not both of Henry's daughters off. Mary, given her profession of the Catholic faith and refusal to convert would likely be married off domestically, but the Protestant Elizabeth could be used abroad.


Also, who might he select as matches for the Grey sisters? Given their place in the line of succession they’re not permitted to wed without royal consent.
