Maximilian I, King of Bohemia, Holy Roman Emperor

[kasumigenx]

On 1475, the Margaret of York would give birth to a miracle son and Maximilian, son of Frederick II would wed with the lineal heiress of Bohemia and the Luxembourgs, Margaret of Saxony in April of 1476, she is 8 years his senior but this would never matter as she has not yet been married, that is because Maximilian had changed his mind about marrying Mary of Burgundy and instead focused regaining the lands lost to the Habsburgs, which is the Kingdom of Bohemia and Hungary, he is not interested to marry a Jagellonian bride either as his goal is to regain the lost lands from the Habsburgs.

Margaret of Saxony would be very happy about the suit of Maximilian on deciding to marry her himself although she would be happy that she would be able to regain family lands in the future and they would take time to have children, although their desired heir, Ernst would be born on January 10, 1480.
The birth of the son to Margaret of York would have degraded the prize of Mary of Burgundy as a bride and on the end of 1475, after the birth of Prince Alfonso, his wife Eleanor of Viseu would die, John II of Portugal would wed with Mary of Burgundy by in the beginning of 1476 and she would arrive in Portugal by June of the same year, Mary of Burgundy would give birth to two further children of John II, namely Infante John(January 10, 1478) and Infanta Margarita(December 10, 1480).

Mary of Burgundy and Isabella I of Castile would correspond with each other in letters due to her daughter Isabella introducing her to her, but she would hate her husband due to her husband’s support of La Beltraneja which triggered her.

In 1482, King Francis Phoebus of Navarre, nephew of Louis XI of France, proposed to her, with the implication of again raising Juana La Beltraneja’s Castilian claim. Isabella and Ferdinand, who threatened Roussillon, were warned by Francis due to this, Juana of Castile would remain in the convent until her own death in 1530 and her being isolated in the court did not help that.

On 1482, the Edward IV would aside from offering his daughter, Elizabeth of York, would offer his second to daughter Mary of York to Francis Phoebus of Navarre and Catherine of Navarre to his son Edward, Prince of Wales for Louis XI, he would accept the marriage of both Elizabeth and Mary to Francis Phoebus but Madeleine of Navarre and Louis XI would object about the marriage of Catherine of Navarre as it could resume the Hundred Years war seeing the precedent of Eleanor of Aquitaine, the marriage between Mary and Francis would be seen as a safe alternative to a marriage with La Beltraneja as a marriage with La Beltraneja will be death sentence to Francis as Ferdinand as they heard has contacts with assassins who can plant poisons, Catherine of Navarre would end up as the bride of John Albert of Poland in 1488 being given a full dowry by her cousin, Charles VIII after the succession of Navarre was already secured by her brother by having heirs of his own body.

On 1483, Charles of Bourbon, the husband of Anne of France after her father, Louis XI died would be assassinated allowing her to be chosen as the bride to Edward, Prince of Wales and thus she would be exchanged when Elizabeth and Mary gone to France and Anne of France as Queen of England would guarantee peace with France regarding the status of the Pale of Calais.

“The Treaty of Alcáçovas (also known as Treaty or Peace of Alcáçovas-Toledo) was signed on 4 September 1479 between the Catholic Monarchs of Castile and Aragon on one side and Afonso V and his son, Prince John of Portugal, on the other side. It put an end to the War of the Castilian Succession, which ended with a victory of the Castilians on land and a Portuguese victory on the sea. The four peace treaties signed at Alcáçovas reflected that outcome: Isabella was recognized as Queen of Castile while Portugal reached hegemony in the Atlantic Ocean.

The treaty intended to regulate:
The renunciation of Afonso V and Castilian Monarchs to the Castilian throne and Portuguese throne, respectively
The division of the Atlantic Ocean and overseas territories into two zones of influence
The destiny of Juana de Trastámara
The contract of marriage between Isabella, the eldest daughter of the Catholic Monarchs, with Afonso, heir of Prince John. This was known as Tercerias de Moura, and included the payment to Portugal of a war compensation by the Catholic Monarchs in the form of marriage dowry.
The pardon of the Castilian supporters of Juana”
Treaty of Alcáçovas – Wikipedia

Apparently, when Isabella of Portugal was sent to Portugal, Mary of Burgundy and Infanta Isabel would be friends and introduced Mary of Burgundy to Isabella I of Castile and the two would be friends which meant that Juana La Beltraneja would become isolated as the days gone by in Portugal due to Isabella having contacts in the Portuguese court herself.

On 1482, Vladislaus II would die after sleeping with his wife Barbara of Brandenburg who had contracted pneumonia while travelling to the Hungarian court even if Vladislaus did not want her, she is wanted to be married by the people who backed her which allowed Maximilian to gain Bohemia not just Moravia, Barbara of Brandenburg would die shortly after her husband died but before Maximilian had known about the death of Vladislaus II.

Maximilian would make peace with the Jagiellonians and Casimir IV of Poland by allowing Sigismund the younger brother of Vladislaus II to rule the Duchy of Glogow to gain the support of the Jagiellonians in Bohemia although Casimir IV would refuse a marriage between Kunigunde and John Albert as Casimir IV wants a marriage with Anne of France who is widowed, however due to her being the English King’s chosen treaty bride, he would end up ending with Catherine of Navarre who was very prolific in her fertility.
Even if Maximilian have gained more lands in Bohemia, he would need to dislodge and remove Mathaias Hunyadi from the Kingdom of Bohemia and Hungary.

Frederick II would also demand the regency of the Duchy of Burgundy under Margaret of York to restore Luxembourg to Margaret of Saxony who is the rightful Duchess of Luxembourg in exchange for financial support of the Holy Roman Emperor to the Duchy of Burgundy, Frederick II would negotiate a match between Kunigunde and Philip IV of Burgundy but Margaret of York would be against this match as she had in mind a match between her niece Anne of England and her son, Philip IV, however, Margaret of York would be able to regain her lost Duchy of Luxembourg.

As Margaret of Saxony had frequent pregnancies, she would die on 1490 which would enable her husband to remarry to Eleanor of Naples and Catherine of York who would give birth to further children.

By 1490, seeing that the Trastamaras themselves have a claim to Hungary as they are descendants of Blanche of Naples he would be interested in a marriage between his son, Ernst and the daughter of the catholic monarchs, named Juana and started negotiations and Juana would marry Ernst in 1496 in Vienna.

On 1490, Isabel of Aragon would wed Alfonso of Portugal, however he would die in an accident in the following year and did not want to marry again due to the trauma of the death of her husband in 1491.

On 1497, Isabel of Aragon would remarry to John of Portugal, the second son of John II of Portugal to maintain the treaty of Alcáçovas and thus Isabel of Aragon would give birth to a son named Fernando in June 10, 1498, she requested that her John of Portugal would expel the Jews if she gets to be crown as queen alongside with her husband John of Portugal, but she would die in 1499 before she even becomes the consort of John and John would marry Margaret of Austria, a daughter of Maximilian of Bohemia and Margaret of Saxony, as Ferdinand II of Aragon would decide against a marriage of his daughters Maria and Catherine to John of Portugal after the death of his daughter Isabel.

On 1490 Princess Margaret of Portugal is betrothed to John of Asturias and the two would marry on 1497, the same time as the marriage of her brother, John with his wife Isabel, Infanta Margarita would deliver a healthy daughter on June 10, 1498, after the death of her husband Juan on the end of 1497 after their consummation of marriage and Margaret would name the daughter as Isabel on May 10, 1498.

Elizabeth of England would marry Charles VIII after the death of King Louis XI on 1485, she would be very beautiful as the wife of the Queen of France and she would be pregnant soon and she would give birth to a son named Louis on July 10, 1485, named after her father in law, Louis XI which delighted Charles VIII and she was very much happy that the son was already born and he would be cautious about the succession of the Duchy of Brittany and wanted Anne of Brittany to marry the Dauphin Louis and the two were 7 years apart and Elizabeth of England did not want that marriage as it would rob her brother of a bride but was afraid to ask the King of England.

The marriage of Anne of Brittany would have been decided and they decided that Anne of Brittany would marry Richard, the younger son of Edward IV instead of Edward, Prince of Wales as Edward, Prince of Wales is already wed to Anne of France who served as the regent of Charles VIII which would cause both Elizabeth of York and Charles VIII to be silenced and Charles VIII would not forward a suit for Anne of Brittany to marry his son.

Note: because Liz of York and Charles VIII are married, the French are guaranteed an heir that is of age in the late 1490s if Charles VIII gets stupid.

On 1499, as Ferdinand and Isabella would forbid any further daughters of them to marry in Portugal after Isabella had died because they hated the King of Portugal, John II and Juana had already married Ernst, they would investigate the north to get a marriage for their daughters, Maria and Catherine who are still unmarried.

Francis Phoebus and Mary of England have two surviving children, namely Gaston of Navarre(1487) and Eleanor(1496) who could be paired with one of their children and also the dauphin is of age to marry Infanta Maria or Catherine, this is a difficult situation as the King and Queen would decide who their children should marry.

After much of deliberation, Isabel of Castile would decide that Maria would marry the Dauphin and be the Queen of France herself and that would conclude the peace with Navarre and France.

It would be decided that Roussillon would be ceded to the French as a dowry of Maria and Cerdagne would stay Spanish.

By the end of 1499, Maria would be escorted to the Pyrenees where she would meet her mother in law Elizabeth of England and the last child of Elizabeth of England with Charles VIII would be named Marie after her.

Why? He remains a good ally and powerful king

Why? He remains a good ally and powerful king

they likely iotl killed Prince Alfonso, so they hated John II's guts even if his new wife is an ally.

Anne of France would be the Queen of England after Edward IV had died on 1490 and crowned with her husband, Edward V, Anne of France would have only two surviving children, namely, Edward(1488) and Charlotte(1493) and she has suffered miscarriages during her pregnancies that she had with Edward V, she would guarantee peace between the two countries in the channel.

Anne of France would even outlive her husband, Edward V as he would die in 1520 and she would live until 1530.

On 1500, the King of England would petition a marriage between Infanta Catalina and Edward(1588) which would be accepted by the Catholic Monarchs but they would wait until 1503 when Edward can consummate the marriage which the King accepts.

On 1499, Mary of Burgundy would correspond to her former suitor Maximilian to arrange a marriage between her son and one of his daughters, Maximilian would pick his daughter Margaret of Austria as the bride of her son, John and she would be crowned as the Queen of Portugal on 1503 when John II died.

Mary of Burgundy would say in those letters that aside from him, she had George of Warwick as her suitor at that time but the fact that he changed his mind and the fact that the King of Portugal needed a new wife for a spare and needed money she would marry the King of Portugal John II and she would say that she has so much gratitude with him.
