Interesting, so the wait for her to come of age won’t be too pressing for the tudors? I suppose given she’d come of age in 1510 a year after Henry ascends the throne they could start pretty quickly if Henry were so inclined

It wasn't for H7. Eleanor is the Emperor's granddaughter. It's well worth the wait to have this pawn in your hands.

I mean, if Eleanor proves to be dubiously fertile too, what happens? He has no excuse to divorce her, unlike with her aunt

Considering who they were engaged and here Henry would not have any ready replacement (of which he was infatuated) at hand and no worth alternative abroad, I think who Henry would go on and marry her as planned

Makes sense to me

Luckily Eleanor has no reason for having troubles with children so Henry would most likely get his heir soon enough…
In any case Eleanor would be 36 years old only in 1534 so Henry would NOT try to get an annulment before that…

Luckily Eleanor has no reason for having troubles with children

She, like her aunt, had only one surviving daughter

 

[isabella]

She, like her aunt, had only one surviving daughter

She had two healthy children in three years and half of marriage (her son was over a year old at the time of his death unlike the new year prince) and she was over 30 when she remarried and her new husband pretty much hated her and still she was able to get pregnant once…
I would say she had NOTHING in common with her aunt’s childbirth pattern specially as neither husband of Eleanor needed to have children by her

She also spent many years as a widow.

Years in which she lived in splendor and good food.

 

[ordinarylittleme]

She also spent many years as a widow.

Yes. Like her aunt. Although to be fair she was probably menopausal by the time she married Francis (hence the lack of children).

32 is a little too early but she would likely go in that phase in few years…

Isabella of Castile and Katherine of Aragon had their final pregnancies in their early thirties, Maria had her final one in her mid thirties. Eleanor would have only faint chances of a Valois child by 1530. Maybe if she married him instantly after Claude died it would be different

Catherine had her last pregnancy at 33 years old, Isabella at 34, while Maria was 34 at her death… meaning who Eleanor would likely go in menopause around 35/36 years old so around 1534 (who would fit with the fact who we had enough evidences of a pregnancy in 1532, but nothing more)

Do we know what gender the child she miscarried would be?

No.

?
Menopause is usually around 50 years old.

It was earlier back then.

Are there any timeline anyone would recommend where someone colonises W America from the coast even as the E coast is being colonised?

Something non SI, ISOT, or similar ASB please?

What if hieratic was written from left to right?

 

[Grey Wolf]

Hieratic was written from left to right?

No

"Hieratic was written in one direction only, from right to left. In earlier times the lines were arranged vertically and later, about 2000 bce, horizontally. Subsequently the papyrus scrolls were written in columns of changing widths."

Hieroglyphic writing - Ancient Egypt, Symbols, Script: The Egyptian cursive script, called hieratic writing, received its name from the Greek hieratikos (“priestly”) at a time during the late period when the script was used only for sacred texts, whereas everyday secular documents were written...
