The scenario of Mary, Queen of Scots and D. Juan de Austria marrying is one that has always fascinated me. Although, IDK what would have to transpire to let D. Felipe II allow such a marriage to occur. And also, I doubt Mary Stuart would be overly eager to wed a royal bastard. D. Carlos, yes, D. Juan the Elder :confused:

Let's say that D. Felipe allows his half-brother to marry (perhaps after Elisabeth de Valois/Anna of Austria gives him a son, so that he doesn't feel so paranoid and order D. Juan's son killed). Besides the Scots Queen, who would make a good matriarch for a bastard cadet line of the Spanish Hapsburgs?
