Is this Mary Villiers or Mary, William III mother?Between 1655 (death of Mary's husband) and 1664. But it never happened OTL, as when Rupert returned to England after Restoration, Mary no longer viewed him as anything more than just a friend.

Ahhh okayMary Villiers.
Mary Stuart Sr.- I don't know, used this in High Flying Mazarinettes TL, but there I had Mary survive the smallpox that killed her OTL. Here the window is very confusing, as after 1657 Rupert was unsure of his income, being denied the appanage, and in 1660 he returned to England only a few weeks before Mary's death (or a few weeks after, need to check, but it does not matter).
Oooh interest g I like that James dying in 1694 with a regency led by perhaps prince Henry would be goodIn fact, the best way to keep James on the throne is Louis adding invasion to Palatinate to his routine of pissing off key allies in 1680ies - that way James may be (maybe) convinced by "Cousin, you're a good Catholic; yet you are supporting the King whom the Pope opposes, which is not what a good Catholic should do". Maybe also have Mary of Modena and/or James die somewhere in mid to early 1690ies (from the same smallpox epidemics that killed Mary II OTL?).
