Catherine's wedding took place on 11 June 1509, seven years after Prince Arthur's death. She married Henry VIII, who had only just acceded to the throne, in a private ceremony at Greenwich Church. She was 23 years of age. The king was just days short of his 18th birthday.

In August 1509, just two months after the wedding, was announced the first pregnancy of Catherine; on 3, March 1510 she gave birth to a daughter named Joanna, named after her sister, the future Holy Roman Empress.

Two months after the loss of her first child, in May 1510, Catherine announced her second pregnancy. A son, Henry, Duke of Cornwall, was born on New Year's Day 1511. In his honor, guns were fired from the Tower of London and the city bells were rung, beacons were lit and free wine was distributed to all the population. Five days after his birth, on 6 January, the prince was christened at Richmond Palace, being his godparents the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Earl of Surrey and the Countess of Devon.

By 1513, Catherine was pregnant again. On 30 June of that year, Catherine was left as regent in England when Henry VIII went to fight in France. In 15, November, she went into labour prematurely and gave birth a son, Edward, Prince of York.

In June 1514, Catherine announced her fourth pregnancy. On 8 January 1515, she gave birth to a son, who was named Arthur, Duke of Clarence.

In the summer of 1515, Catherine announced her fifth pregnancy; On 18 February 1516, Catherine delivered a healthy girl at 4 a.m. at Greenwich Palace, Kent She was named Mary and christened three days later (21 February) with great ceremony at the Church of Observant Friars.

Anne of Brittany’s last pregnancy
Renee of France was born on 1510, but she was able to conceive again on 1514, it has been believed that her last successful pregnancy would be Renee of France but she was able to give birth to a son named Charles Orlando, named after his uterine older half brother but Anne of Brittany suffered complications from the pregnancy and died as a result, she was 37 years old.

This would mean the desired betrothal for Claude that she marries a Habsburg would be a possibility, the betrothal between Francis of Angouleme and Claude have been broken completely and Claude could have a possibility for a different husband, that made her happy.

On 1515, Claude was married to Charles, the son of Margeret, Duchess of Savoy[1] as an honor to the memory of Anne of Brittany and in her retinue, she was with Anne Boleyn, the future mistress of Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor, her husband is a cousin of her first betrothed and of course that made her very happy.

The Kingdom of Spain and its colonies
On 1505, Isabella of Castille died, when she died, the Kingdom of Castile was inherited by Miguel da Paz, Miguel also inherited the New World Colonies and Ferdinand of Aragon died on 1510, causing him to gain the two Sicilies, Catalonia, Aragon and Sardinia.

On the reign of his father since 1500, Manuel, his father, acquired Diu, Goa and Malacca as his colonies on the east and also acquired the coasts of Congo with the Kingdom of Congo as a vassal and also had Brasil from the new world as a colony, the Southern Continent where Brasil as claimed by Cabral is named as Cabralia[1].

His father’s second wife is Maria of Castile, who produced spare heirs to the Portuguese throne.

On 1515, the Spanish new world colonies have expanded to Castilla del Oro(Darien), Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola and Puerto Rico, on 1521, Miguel’s father died due to plague, causing him to inherit Portugal and thus the unification of Iberia is complete.

The Civil war in Saludang
Since the time, Bolkiah conquered Saludang[1], the people of Saludang were fighting, the Hindus from Majapahit descended from Empress Sasaban and the dynasty installed by Bolkiah fought over the Tagalog Kingdom - the family had support in the Fertile plains of Saludang, Kaboloan and Kumintang, Dayang Panginoon, a daughter of Dayang Kaylangitan was married to the Hindu faction but it cannot quell the Hindus until the Hindu Majapahit dynasty finally expelled the Bolkiahs on the mid 16th century a part of the population of the island was lost and Javanese fleeing the muslims were invited to settle the island in order to revive the population, the former Muslim population in Saludang was settled in Palawan.

Since the Fall of Majapahit, the Sultanate of Demak has been forcing its population to adopt Islam for the hindus and for that reason parts of the population migrated to Saludang, Bali and Borneo, but the emptied areas of Saludang were settled by Javanese hindus, the Javanese hindus also settled in Faru and Makabebe but they were quickly assimilated on Faru[2] and Makabebe since the dialects of those areas were already influenced by Javanese, on the late 16th century 20 percent of the population of Saludang are wholly or partly Javanese descent, the other reason of the Javanese migration is the lure of gold in Saludang.

The Majapahit have lost their homeland but they got a new refugia for their people and it is in Saludang and Maynila was renamed as Jakarta of Saludang, named after the old Jakarta in Java.
