Miguel of Portugal, the Prince of Peace

The Birth of Miguel of Portugal

In 1498, Isabella I of Castille visited Portugal noticed her daughter, Isabella of Aragon was very sickly and told her to take care of herself and her baby because she would risk the life of her and her baby so she told her to stop her own fasting and take care of herself.

Isabella, the Queen of Portugal gave birth to a son named Miguel, who was dubbed the Prince of Peace and was born on the later part of August 1498, he was healthy so was his mother.

And for this reason, there was no threat for Aragon and Castile to be inherited by the German Habsburg clan and for that reason, Isabella I of Castile was happy for the Iberian Kingdoms to not pass to the German Habsburgs.

The Catholic Monarchs congratulated Manuel on the birth of his son and heir, there were a lot of discussions since the future of Iberia rests upon the child who was just born.

Isabella of Aragon, would later give birth to a daughter, she would be named Blanche on 1502.

Isabella of Aragon and Philip the Fair arranged the marriage of Maria of Aragon to Sigismund Jagello, in order to make an alliance between the Jagiellonians and the Trastamara as well as of the Habsburgs.

Meanwhile in France, Claude was born in Romorantin-Lanthenay on 1499 as the eldest daughter of Louis XII of France and Anne of Brittany. She was named after Claudius of Besançon, a saint her mother had invoked during a pilgrimage so she could give birth to a living child: during her two marriages, Queen Anne had at least fourteen pregnancies, Anne of Brittany only gave birth to a daughter and Louis XII wanted her to have a son, so Anne of Brittany wanted to concieve a son as well, she gave birth to a son name Louis, after his father on 1500.

On 1503, Anne of Brittany and Isabella, Princess of Asturias came to meet in Navarre to discuss the sore points of Navarre and Castile, as told by Anne of Brittany, the peace settlement would be made between Anne of Brittany and Isabella is that
-Roussillon would be returned to the French crown
-France would end its support on Navarre
-There will be a double marriage between France and Navarre in that Claude of France would marry Miguel, Prince of Asturias and Louis, Dauphin of Viennois would marry Blanche of Portugal.

Aside from that, Isabella, Princess of Asturias died on 1505 due to a certain sickness and Manuel I of Portugal would be remarried to Germaine de Foix, a niece of Ferdinand of Aragon.

Note:

I decided to reboot this timeline due to the Cape colonization potential.
 
Cape Colonization
By December 16, 1497, the fleet of Da Gama had passed the Great Fish River (Eastern Cape, South Africa) – where Dias had turned back – and sailed into waters previously unknown to Europeans. With Christmas pending, da Gama and his crew gave the coast they were passing the name Natal, which carried the connotation of "birth of Christ" in Portuguese.

The Portuguese staff of Da Gama decided to tell the King about the cape and its colonization because it will benefit Portugal in the Future.

Manuel I of Portugal was told of the strategic place of the Cape of Good hope so he decided that the Cape must be colonized and so they focused on it instead of India, so it was the one prioritized instead of India.

Cabral, from the Cape of Good found the existence of a new continent by accident named Brasil in 1501 and the Portuguese established outposts in Madagascar.

The Portuguese gained a port ceded by the King of Kochi who thought that the ruler of Portugal is a good person and the port given up is Port Emmanuel which will be the base of their operations in India.

The Jagiellonian Affair
Vladislaus, third wife, Anne of Foix-Candale, was crowned on 29 September 1502 when she was about 18 years old and he was 46, she gave birth to a daughter named Anne, on 1506, Anne had a miscarriage which caused her death, on 1510 he would die and their daughter, Anne became the sole heiress which led to the betrothal and later marriage of Anne to Charles of Austria.

For Sigismund, his bride Mary of Aragon gave birth to a son on 1501, named Vladislaus, she gave birth to a daughter named Maria on 1506, and Sigismund became the King of Poland on 1509 and Mary of Aragon became his queen.

For Margaret of Austria, her marriage with Philbert II of Savoy produced a son named Louis.


The Island of Gold
Bolkiah conquered Manila and married the daughter of Gambang to Lontok and demanded gold tribute of from the island from Suvarnadvipa.

After learning how the Sulu Sultanate ejected the Bolkiahs from Sulu, the City States of Aparri, Maluslos, the Kingdoms of Kaboloan, Kumintang, Bikol and the Igorots staged a revolt against the Bolkiahs knowing what they are doing is wrong and that the Bolkiahs are just exploiting the resources of Suvarnadvipa and did not care about the people in it.

The revolt successfully toppled the Bolkiahs from the Island ensuring that no one will harm the people of Suvarnadvipa, the Bruneians and the elites they introduced were expelled completely from the island, never to return.

The people of Suvarnadvipa or as the Tondo monarchs and its own people called it Katagalugan formed a new government in the Central plains by Suvarnadvipa, led by a new dynasty related to the old Tagalog Dynasty.

The leader of the revolt was quoted saying ’No one will conquer our own land!’

The liberation and rebirth of Suvarnadvipa and is free from the yolk of Bruneian Empire and its glorious future will happen to that country.

The new dawn opened for the country that needed rebirth and the center of trade and administration of the land moved to the town of Maluslos.

The people wondered about the liberation of the Suvarnadvipa and were happy about it..

The people in Suvarnadvipa were happy about their liberation from the Bruneian Nobility that were planted in the island by Sultan Bolkiah.

Both Muslims and non Muslims will be granted the liberty of worship in the island that is granted by the new dynasty of Suvarnadvipa, but the lowlanders start to convert to islam as well but the people of Suvarnadvipa will be more muslim because of the later refugees.
