The Refusal of Woodville

This is a version of my earlier timeline concept regarding Edward IV not marrying Elizabeth Woodville, this also incorporates the La Beltraneja Scenario as well.


Bona Regina

“On 1463, Elizabeth Woodville would be approached by her mother, Jacquetta of Luxembourg regarding her husband and having an affair with Edward IV would destroy and pervert the memory of her husband, Sir John Grey, Elizabeth Woodville decide against marrying Edward IV even if she loved him and decided to marry someone else and married Jasper Tudor instead, Edward IV would marry Bona of Savoy who was suggested by Louis XI on 1464, during that time, Isabella of Bourbon would be pregnant and give birth to another heiress, Isabella of Burgundy on May of 1464.

Bona of Savoy would give birth to four children, Elizabeth of England(1465), Edward of England(1468), Mary of England(1470) and Richard(1471), Catherine of Burgundy(1475), Bona of York(1478) and Bridget of York(1481).

Edward IV would marry his sister, Margaret of York to Charles the Bold on 1466, on the same year Charles the Bold would reconcile with the Duke of Burgundy-Nevers who will be the heir of the french apanages if he does not have sons while his daughters, Mary and Isabella would be the heirs of the territories that can pass via the female line, the Burgundian Territories aside of the apanages, Mary of Burgundy will be the heir to the Low countries, while Isabella will be the heir to the county of Burgundy and Luxembourg.”

“Philip of Palatinate marries Mary of Burgundy on the end of 1472, she would give birth to four children, Elizabeth of Palatinate(1475), Ludwig V of Palatinate(1478), Maria of Palatinate(1480) and Philip of Palatinate(1484), Margaret of Bavaria who was once considered to marry Philip, Elector Palatinate would marry John II of Cleves which would have three children, Anna (1478), John III(1484) and Adolf (1490).”
