Queen Anne of the House of Stanley

I found this wail kicking around Wiki, so what if Henry's Will had been done and Lady Anne Stanley was named Queen?

Henry VIII’s Third Succession Act granted Henry the right to bequeath the Crown in his Will. His Will specified that, in default of heirs to his children, the throne was to pass to the heirs of his younger sister Mary Tudor, Queen of France, bypassing the line of his elder sister Margaret Tudor. Edward VI confirmed this by letters patent. The legitimate and legal heir of Elizabeth I was therefore the Lady Anne Stanley (the marriage of Lady Catherine Grey having been annulled, and her children declared illegitimate, by Elizabeth I).

I guess some people are finding it a touch difficult. Speculation on such issues is a time-consuming process.

It is an interesting idea, and so I'll do some research in to the subject, and maybe throw in some ideas here.
