Rainha Leonor

On Lisboa in 1517, Eleanor of Austria would marry the future John III of Portugal as his own mother would have survived giving birth to his sister Maria, due to the difficulty of her last pregnancy, she would no longer conceive although, Princess Maria would survive along with her mother, she would be fine and she would survive until 1530 in her son’s reign.

John has seen that Eleanor is creeped up on her father in law who wants to touch her and her mother in law would not tolerate it, however, John would do his best to protect his own bride Eleanor.

“Eleanor of Austria looks to be a good bride to my nephew the new Queen of Portugal, she is as pious as Isabella, my former daughter and sister in law.”

Charles, King of Castile would be pleased upon the marriage as the marriage would prevent the Portuguese from helping the revolts in the country as long as her husband lived, while John’s sister, Isabella would be married to Charles the King of Castile.

Catherine of Austria would be married off to Charles III, duke of Bourbon, in order to further solidify the alliance between the duke of Bourbon and Spain along with the marriage of Eleanor of Austria to John III, she would only have a single surviving son in the marriage named Charles(1528).

“Eleanor of Austria has proved herself to be a very good maiden and a pious queen, she has done her own duty as the Queen of Portugal quite very well.”

~Mary Boleyn, Mistress of Francis, duke of Angouleme
