January-May 1506
January 1506: Baby King Ferdinand IV died in his crib. His mother was devastated. Susanne d’Bourbon gives birth to a stillborn daughter. Susanne realizes her mistake and begs God to forgive her. She sinks into a deep depression, and considers joining a covent and leaving her husband. Ferdinand convinces her to stay, and surprisingly, the couple bond over their shared grief.
February 1506: Leonor of Aragon returned to her father's court. Aged 16, yet very melancholic, Ferdinand II of Aragon began the hard task of finding his daughter a husband, all the while listening to pleas to enter a convent. Eventually he landed on an ideal solution. His daughter would marry Gaston of Foix, Duke of Nemours.
April 1506: Magdalena of Navarre marries Enrique, Count of Urgell. The couple were quite unhappy with each other. Enrique was a very pious man, almost monkish, who had terrible teeth and a tendency to be a glutton. Magdalena was a very snobbish young girl, who openly snubbed Dowager Queen Leonor and Queen Cecilia. The Queen gives birth to a daughter, Blanca. With this news, the widowed Infanta Leonor began her own journey back into matrimony, with a full new wardrobe with matching, scratchy under-dresses as a way of repenting her sins, whatever they were. Her husband would greet her hurriedly, consummate their union only as much as necessary return to his practice in the jousting yard. It would prove to be the standard for their marriage.
May 1506: In England, it became apparent that Margaret was expected to have more of a result than Beatriz had. The fact she did not fall immediately pregnant worried the King, especially after the death of young Princess Elizabeth, who had been born prematurely and had always been very sickly. Richard grieved the loss, while Margaret complained of homesickness in her letters to France. Anne de Rohan gives birth to a daughter, Anne.

Edward V decides to allow the man to have a small pension, he had been loyal despite his own claim to the throne and his former in-law after all. Margaret of France gives birth prematurely to twin boys named Edward and Richard, they are very small and struggle to breathe, but they cling to life.

April 1507
Suzanne de Bourbon gives birth prematurely to a daughter named after herself. Both mother and daughter are healthy. Charlotte of Naples is pregnant again, as is Margaret of France. Edward V finds himself in need of a wife after Kunigunde of Austria passes away due to the same sweating sickness that killed Elizabeth de la Pole. While he himself also fell ill, his symptoms were not as severe as hers were. As he has male-line grandsons, he feels the dynasty is secured, so his choice of a second queen in the young Anne of Navarre is shocking to the English court due to her hunchback and short stature.

What the heck is going on there?
Also I think you should distinguish who's the mother to each of Richard's children.

I did. A would be by Anne de Mowbray, B would be Anne of Brittany, C would be Anne de Rohan, and D would be Elizabeth Wood.
Henry Tudor already died in 1505. Francis I never had a “first wife”, he was always betrothed to Mary of England (b. 1492), but they never married.
Is there no Henry Tudor Jr in this TL? I get confused. I'll edit
