True but from what I know James was pretty set on having either a Spanish or French princess (the former I doubt would work because Henry despised the Spanish). James was in negotiations for a French match before Henry's death to my knowledge.Henrietta Maria's a decade younger than him, I'm not sure he or James is going to wait that long for her to be of an age to get married.
I think Williams daughter is too low, Maria of brandenburg is a possible optionTrue but from what I know James was pretty set on having either a Spanish or French princess (the former I doubt would work because Henry despised the Spanish).

If it ends up being a protestant match maybe the daughter of William the Silent Countess Emilia Antwerpiana?

Was she? Sorry I never knew, still there was a reason why they didn't go with her in the endHer sister was considered for Charles I otl tho no?
Maria Eleonora herself was taken in consideration for Charles in OTL. She favored the Swedish match for herself, while James and Charles wanted more a Catholic match, still the match was seriously considered (at the point who her brother offered their younger sister as replacement in Sweden) so if Henry Frederick decided for a Protestant she is the top candidate and he will marry her while Catherine of Brandenburg will go in SwedenWas she?

If James decided on a Protestant wife for Henry, would Maria Eleanora of Brandenburg be that candidate with the largest dowry?Maria Eleonora herself was taken in consideration for Charles in OTL.

Largest dowry I do not know, but the interest was present for Charles so... also at least the brother of the bride would be really keen in concluding the match if England followed its inquires (likely done for trying to placate the Parliament who was against a Spanish match and asked repeatedly a Protestant princess of Wales)If James decided on a Protestant wife for Henry, would Maria Eleanora of Brandenburg be that candidate with the largest dowry?
