You'd have to Butterfly a lot of things. There was the leg sore, and also possible concussion damage to the brain caused by at least one jousting accident. If you keep all of that from happening, maybe a longer, and probably a more fertile history for Henry..?
OTL, I read somewhere, everyone thought Henry had gotten Catherine Howard, but she had an early miscarriage. Suppose the pregnancy is real, and a son is born. Would he live any longer than Edward VI did? I'm guessing he'd be named Henry...
i think generally yes he would but that's up to whoever writes said tl

A query for you all, can James II still salvage some if his reign if he doesn’t put the seven bishops on trial in 1688? Otl from what I can make out this was one of the final nails in his coffin and when the bishops were acquitted there were huge celebrations. If he doesn’t put them on trial I think he could probably salavagr some little part of his reign but maybe the damages is too done.
What if the Muslims won the Battle of Tours? Would this have led to a Muslim conquest of what is now France? Or am I being overambitious here?
The reason why the Muslims managed to conquer Visigothic Iberia relatively quickly is due to how the peninsula was ravaged by a civil war. Without some major crisis occurring in the Frankish Empire, I doubt the Muslims would have an easy time conquering the region.
Both a little too young imho
I would suggest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabella_of_Navarre,_Viscountess_of_Rohan as a French proxy and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedwig_Jagiellon,_Electress_of_Brandenburg as an outside candidate (pickings are slim for girls of the right age and rank)
I wonder what would be the possible consequences,(if any), would be if the so called Tour De Nesle Affair, wouldn't happened either the French royals never be denounced and/or that it never be discovered...
I may have the wrong Event in mind, but if that hadn't happened, wouldn't that have Butterflied the demise of the Capets, and maybe even the Hundred Years War?
Indeed, cause, while far from being knowledgeable enough on the period, I tend to think that the more immediate consequence would be on its possible impact on the OTL so called Salic law. One, that may never would neither get its historical formulation/implementation nor its dynastic/political importance. Cause, aside that it would have changed the fate of Clementia of Hungary, who, never would had been married to the French King, also
that may be possible that at least one of OTL disgraced French princesses, may have had the chance to bear an heir/heiress...
It has been claimed that "If Sweden had won the Great Northern War, Russia would have been crippled for centuries?" Was this true, or is this just an exaggeration?
With Edward II and Margaret of Norway's marriage, I think? Their son would have been heir to both England and Scotland, no question.
Currently I'm thinking up a 3rd century Roman collapse tml. Here are some questions that I can't resolve
1.) I know that the Persian Empire would want to conquer the Palmerian Empire after the Romans have been expelled, but could the Palmerian empire have resisted them?
2.) I'm fairly certain that the Gallic Empire would retake the city Rome after the empire collapsed. Since the Italian peninsula's population was so dependent on grain from North-Africa (and Egypt but that's under Palmerian control), would the Gallic Empire attempt to reconquer North Africa? Similarly would the Gallic Empire attempt to conquer Germany? I'm sure they could subdue Germany after a generation, but would they want to do that to begin with?
