I think a figure in history who often gets sidelined/overlooked, is Christian II's only surviving son, Johan. The boy was the crown prince of Denmark, but much like his sister Dorothea, is neglected in althistory in favour of his other (more interesting sister) the Duchess of Milan, Kristina.

Granted Hans would be a threat to the Danish court as long as he's around, but I for one would like to see him grow up and grow old (at least by 16th century standards), maybe marry and have a few kids. It's just an idea I've had.

Bonus points if he marries Bloody Mary - might get interesting - what with two heirs in political limbo. Also, considering his mother was reportedly sympathetic to Lutheranism (although the Hapsburgs hushed that up and gave out that she died a convinced Catholic), might he feel "Copenhagen is worth a mass in Danish"?
