as of 17 December 1519:Also, could you maybe give a list of Henry and Katherine’s children so far ITTL?
(of course, the living ones are Prince/Princess according to gender)
1. miscarriage, daughter, early March, 1510
2. son, Henry, 1 January 1511 (Henry, Prince of Wales)
3. son, John, 8 October 1513 (John, Duke of York)
4. stillborn son, 17 November 1514
5. daughter, Cecily, 17 September - 12 December 1518
6. daughter, Mary, 18 February 1516
7. miscarriage, 16 May 1519
8, son, Edward, 16 December 1519
9. daughter, Eleanor, 16 December 1519
Edward has not yet received a Dukedom. And, I hate to break @ordinarylittleme's heart, but there will be no Elizabeth. Katherine may have another 'lost' child, but she will have no more living children. I don't think anyone will be surprised by this declaration for the TL. She is, 34, going into menopause as in OTL. Beside, 5 living children is more than enough and more than I intended. (Gaming Dice decided that there were to be twins, boy & girl, and that both will survive until the next life rolls.)
And, how many have realized that the May miscarriage was one of triplets? Katherine wasn't having twins originally, but triplets. Mother Nature did what she does best: eliminated one of them, probably because of a genetic issue or something. (My brother, a medical man, tells me that's one of the reasons it happens - if the problem wasn't the mother's biology/physiology.)
