Queen Mary's Heirs
inspired by: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/the-children-of-camelot.506739/
"In the last week of April 1555, Elizabeth was released from house arrest and called to court as a witness of the birth, which was expected imminently. Many physicians tended to the queen, and the king Philip was there holding her hand in a rare gesture of solidarity with his wife. Nobody expected what happened. A large baby boy with tufts of red hair across his head came out wailing. The next, a beautiful doe-eyed girl, came out kicking and screaming. Then a final child, a smaller boy than his siblings, but crying at the top of his lungs. They were christened Philip, John and Katherine, with the Lady Elizabeth as their aunt and godmother."
If Mary still dies in 1558, what happens? Who are the children likely to marry? Will the English people accept a half-Spanish King Philip II?
