So, this is something I've long been fascinated by. The Howards rose to prominence under the Yorkist regime, and then became powerful figures under the Tudors, Thomas Howard married Anne of York and apparently had a son by her who died in 1508, said son was also named Thomas.

My idea, is sort of this: In 1502, Arthur Tudor and Margaret Tudor both die, followed quickly by Elizabeth of York in 1503, Henry VIII, then follows in 1505. This leaves Mary Tudor as Henry VII's heiress, but Henry is himself ailing and probably staring down a succession issue.

What does he do then? Look to remarry and try and sire heirs, or does he look to marry Mary off to someone?

Essentially, my question is is this scenario enough to get Thomas Howard on the throne, or would it need something else? And also, is the scenario I;ve proposed interesting enough to warrant its own timeline?
