Btw, would it not make better sense to name Miguel Juan/Joao? That way he could be Juan III of both Castile and Aragon as well as Joao III of Portugal. It would really cement the point of all three kingdoms being under one king.
I know nothing of how sensitive the iberians of the time were about the subject (I guess a lot), but that looks like propaganda gold: Juan/Joao III regardless from which of the kingdoms the speaker comes from. Numeral controversy cancelled at once.Btw, would it not make better sense to name Miguel Juan/Joao? That way he could be Juan III of both Castile and Aragon as well as Joao III of Portugal.

Or just have Miguel name his first son João/Juan/Joan?
There! You see, it all continues much better if he's named John instead of Miguel
Hahaha! I knew it! Also please don't kill of Arthur Tudor, Torbald, pretty please. With a cherry on top?

Charles V is definitely going to be born ITTL, and with all the fabulous genetics that made him both hilarious to look at and incredibly quick-minded as he was OTL. I'm currently mulling over just how Burgundy (read: Netherlands) centric Charles' personal demesne and domestic/foreign policy are going to be, but we'll see the Empire hedged in at nearly all sides by Charles and his inevitable Hapsburg brothers.
