Need help with my timeline!

This is for my timeline Anne Boleyn's Brood (https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=300219) and is needed to set up the most likely alliances in a war between England and France.

What are the most likely alliances for a war between England and France? Things to help in choosing sides:

- Portragul and England have been trading heavily since 1536 and have several alliances and what not that tie them together at this point. King John III of Portragul is also looking for a wife. He is currently leaning towards either Anne of Cleves of Jeanette d'Albret, Princess of Navarre.

- Navarre is currently tied with France but is looking for new allies with suitable men to marry Jeanette d'Albret, Princess of Navarre to.

- Charles III, Duke of Savoy has ties to Portragul and is looking for a strong alliance to be done through a marriage to his son.

- Charles V and King Ferdinand do not to approve this war and refuse to chose a side, though Prince Phillip is heavily French oriented due to his strong Catholic faith.

- William: Duke of Jülich-Cleves-Berge is very rich and is tied to England through marriage and mistress, but is tied to both countries due to trade relations.

- Scotland is currently in a state of unrest but is tied to England more than France due to the betrothal of James, Prince of Moray and Elizabeth Tudor as well as Henry's aid financially in the past few years.

- France is currently lacking in funds due to the many marriages and large scale events while England is actually doing quite well due to Anne's many smart economic moves.
 
Scotland is currently having what sounds like a low level civil war. They are also being tied to England by marriage bonds. They will allie with England but won't be much help. Both Savoy and Portugal have good reasons to help England. Would Portugal get a personal union out of the deal?
Savoy would like a weaker France.
Juelich-Cleves will be netral.

1) Yes, that was pretty much what I had planned.

2) I was thinking that for now.

3) No, both have multiple heirs. But there are betrothals in place at the moment.

4) Pretty much, but with better finances.

5) I was thinking that their would be a token force and some money, but not much more.

Thank you for the help :)
