Verse 1

On the latter part of 15th century Brunei led by the Singing Captain Sultan Bolkiah would be defeated by the Chief of Tondo, Apo Gambang which would keep the city of Tondo and old status quo in the archipelago intact the island of Saludong is divided into Kumintang and Saludong(Saludong Utara[1] and Timur Saludong[2]) with the two remaining under Majapahit influence and would be shaken by the fight between the Majapahit factions and Butuan Kingdom would have dominance although it is waning and losing its own control of the rest of Mindanao in the middle we would have Sugbu, Dapitan and Madya-as, the land of Saludong Utara would have been said to have a Nestorian Minority at an earlier point in time.

The death of the Singing captain would mean that the Empire of the Sultan would fall apart and Sulu would now be an independent realm.

However, Apo Gambang would realize that he himself is suffering and he would want his own daughter, Banua(Kaylangitan) married soon to avoid other men from kidnapping her and seizing her for her inheritance and he wanted to make sure that he told his men that Banua must marry the ruler of Kaboloan.

Gambang of Tondo, the Chief of Tondo who basked in victory in the death of Sultan Bolkiah would instruct his daughter, Banua(Kaylangitan) to journey north and marry the ruler of Kaboloan just before he would die himself not knowing she would not see her father again alive, which did happen, however since they are related in blood this was an expected plan of him.

Due to this marriage the City of Tondo ruler would be married to the ruler of Kaboloan[3] and Banua would rule the City of Tondo and gave it to her younger son.

Bolkiah would himself die and his two sons Lontok and Abdul Kahar would both contest the succession, Abdul Kahar would rule the main empire and Lontok is sent to rule in Kumintang in Saludong.

On this time Saludong would support Brawijaya V against Prabu Udara, although his death would mean that Saludong would shift support to Demak and Banua would have her eldest son marry a kin of the ruler of Demak which would introduce Islam in Kaboloan in Saludong Utara and because of this luck they will hold much of the power in Saludong Utara.

Decades after refugees from Java and Champa would arrive to Saludong as the land would remain a hindu bastion while in another century while the area near the large bodies of water would convert to islam due to intermarriage with Demak, many decades after the muslims ruled by the Sultanate of Saludong whose first known ruler is Trengana I of Saludong in the latter part of the 16th century.





1. Luzon north of Pasig River
2. Bicol region
3. Pangasinan


note:
I know of a research of Northern Luzon being Shambhala or Sambali I would not include this in my TL due to this being unconventional.

Verse 2
Verse 2

Due to war, Barbara couldn't travel to Bohemia for her marriage and coronation in person. Shortly after, King Vladislaus II determined that his unconsummated and only juridical marriage with the Brandenburg princess was useless and began to seek legal separation. This enraged Elector Albert Achilles, who in 1481, obtained a compensation payment; however, with the mediation of the Bishops of Bamberg and Würzburg, he still wanted to continue the marital bond, and even offered his ten-year-old daughter Dorothea of Brandenburg as a replacement to her older sister, if the King did not want Barbara any more. King Vladislaus II refused any other agreement with the House of Hohenzollern, he would choose his own brother, Sigismund to marry Barbara instead due to that Vladislaus II would be unmarried and he would marry to Kunigunde of Austria who is said to be enamored with the Duke of Bavaria on 1484 and even were told to be engaged before the marriage happened.

The Death of Maximilian II on 1482, would mean that the French would reacquire a treaty with Mary and the loss of the Habsburg control in Netherlands temporarily although the nobles would be the one controlling the Netherlands proper for Philip himself.

Sigismund would be given the Duchy of Silesia as the vassal of the King of Bohemia after the marriage would happen and it would also affect the later inheritance of the Duchy of Opole and Raciborz.

The marriage of Kunigunde and Vladislaus II would mean that Vladislaus would have children and heirs sooner than later, giving birth to Kunigunde of Hungary b. 1488 and Louis II of Hungary b. 1491.

Vladislaus having heirs and alliance with the Habsburgs would mean that by 1490, Corvinus himself would be defeated sooner on 1490 and he himself would have a stronger motivation to complete the reconquest of Hungary from Corvinus and his allies.

The Habsburgs would also have one of the daughters of Mary and Maximilian betrothed to the future King of Denmark.

The marriage of the Jagiellonians and the Habsburgs would mean end to an old problem of the Habsburgs.

Note

Compared in this reality the Jagiellonians and the Habsburgs have no dynastic ties til the term of Louis II of Hungary, however on this reality Kunigunde is the one married to Vladislaus II of Hungary
 
Verse 3
Verse 3

On September 2, 1481, Mary of Burgundy would give birth to another daughter named Eleanor.

On 1482, a falcon hunt in the woods near Wijnendale Castle was organised by Adolph of Cleves, Lord of Ravenstein, who lived in the castle. Mary loved riding and was hunting with Maximilian and knights of the Court when her horse tripped, threw Maximilian in a ditch, and then landed on top of her, breaking her back. Maximilian died several weeks later, on 27 March, from internal injuries, Maximilian would and would leave his infant son Philip as the heir of the Holy Roman Empire and the Burgundian inheritance.

Louis was swift to re-engage hostilities with Mary of Burgundy and forced her to agree to the Treaty of Arras of 1482, by which Franche-Comté and Artois passed for a time to French rule and for Mary of Burgundy to marry the Dauphin when he reaches of his own right age on 1483, on 1484, the two were married and Mary of Burgundy would prove to be a good regent for the King and expelled Anne de Beajeu from the Court as well and left her children with Maximilian under the guard of the Netherlands nobility.

Mary of Burgundy would give birth to three further children, Louis b. September 21, 1484, Charlotte of France b. November 15, 1486 and Charles b. October 11, 1488.

Mary of Burgundy would end being the regent on 1488, when her second husband was able to rule himself without her own advices and she would stay out of the French affairs and left to her Lower Countries’ possessions where in she would champion the Independence of the low countries and the inheritance and as well as the marriage of her two daughters Margaret and Eleanor and had Margaret betrothed to James IV of Scotland.

Mary of Burgundy would die on 1493, with her sons scrambling for their inheritance and Margaret betrothed to James IV of Scotland.

The estates of Netherlands would argue about the old inheritance of Flanders and Hainault and chose that both Artois, Luxembourg and Hainault which has a Latin population would go to Louis while Philip would inherit Flanders due to Philip being a German and a Dutchman himself.

The historians would say that both the marriages of Mary of Burgundy will solve the problems of the Holy Roman Empire and France on the French borders.

Both the Germans and the French would treat the borders of the succession agreement as binding and valid, the lands of Philip of Austria would be the basis of the future Kingdom of Netherlands..

The decision of Artois and Hainault going to the French throne would mean in the future that

On 1495, Margaret would be surprised about her groom, James IV of Scotland, she would enter with her own Burgundian retinue which her husband would dismiss as soon as she arrived, she would only have two children surviving infancy, Margaret, Princess of Scotland b. 1499 and James, duke of Rothesay b. 1507.

Charles VIII would remarry to Bianca Maria Sforza, a marriage that would produce two daughters named Claude b. December 2, 1499 and Renee May 2, 1510.

Due to Philip being engaged as the ruler of the low countries the Sigismund, Archduke of Austria would demand his own brother, Fredrich as to make him as own heir in Austria and Sigismund would have an only heir, Wolfgang b. 1480 from his dead wife, Eleanor of Scotland who is strong and sturdy and would remarry to Catherine of Saxony after the death of his own first wife.

Verse 4
Verse 4

Edward did not face any further rebellions after his restoration, as the Lancastrian line had virtually been extinguished, and the only rival left was Henry Tudor who was living in exile.

In 1475, Edward declared war on France, landing at Calais in June. However, his ally Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, failed to provide any significant military assistance, which led Edward to undertake negotiations with the French. He came to terms with the Treaty of Picquigny, which provided him with an immediate payment of 75,000 crowns and a yearly pension of 50,000 crowns, thus allowing him to "recoup his finances." He also backed an attempt by Alexander Stewart, 1st Duke of Albany, brother of King James III of Scotland, to take the Scottish throne in 1482. Gloucester led an invasion of Scotland that resulted in the capture of Edinburgh and the king of Scots himself, but Albany reneged on his agreement with Edward. Gloucester decided to withdraw from his position of strength in Edinburgh. However, Gloucester did recover Berwick-upon-Tweed.

Edward's health began to fail, and he became subject to an increasing number of ailments. He fell fatally ill at Easter 1485, but survived long enough to add some codicils to his will, the most important being to name his brother Richard, Duke of Gloucester as Protector after his death. He died on 9 April 1485 and was buried in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. He was succeeded by his fifteen-year-old son Edward V of England (who was never crowned) and then by his brother Richard.

On 1485, Edward V would choose the brides for his own sisters, Cecily and Elizabeth, since Charles is now married to Mary of Burgundy, he would go to the Portuguese for Prince John to marry Elizabeth while Cecily was on and off betrothed to the King of Scotland, however he would not think that would be viable and another marriage was thought off for the two, however, James IV would only want the much younger Margaret of Austria-Burgundy.

On 1486, Edward V would finally choose Francis II of Brittany as the groom of Elizabeth of York and for Cecily would be married to Manuel, Duke of Beja.

Elizabeth of York would give birth to the awaited heir of Brittany, Anthony of Brittany on 1487 which would end the French interests in Anne of Brittany, the planned bride of Edward V.

Verse 5

On the latter 1480’s Francis II even though he married Elizabeth of York would renegade over the betrothal of his daughter Anne and instead betrothed her to the Duke of Orange instead and Edward V would now get married in proxy to another, Joanna of Aragon and Castile, the daughter of the Catholic Monarchs, while Isabeau of Brittany is betrothed to the lord of the Netherlands, Philip the Handsome.

The birth of a Breton heir would frustrate the plans of Charles VIII to marry his son to Anne of Brittany, the marriage of Joanna would not be enough to betroth Catherine of York to the Duke of Asturias and the catholic monarchs instead would choose Eleanor of Austria-Burgundy and Catherine of York would be married in Proxy to the future Christian II of Denmark on 1493.

Isabella of Aragon, the future queen of Portugal would give birth to a son named John on the latter part of 1491 as her sister, Joanna of Aragon and Castile would disembark to England and her arrival would be well received and she was like by her mother in law, Elizabeth Woodville.

On 1493, the Catholic monarchs would betroth Maria of Spain to the Louis, Dauphin of France, son of Charles VIII for peace between France and Castile-Aragon to happen she was thought to be a beauty and Charles VIII would want to marry herself if Anne of Brittany was the heiress of Brittany, he would choose to marry Bianca Maria Sforza of Milan.

The marriage of Louis and Maria was the terms of the treaty of Perpinya in 1493 which cedes both Conflent and Rousillon from Aragon to France, however Cerdagne or Cerdanya would remain under the Aragonese crown.

The three women, Isabella, Joanna and Maria would prove to be very pious as the brides of their husband and were nicely received in their countries
