Victory in Malacca
Victory in Malacca(MK 2)

I
The position of the Portuguese in India was consolidated with the arrival of a new Viceroy, Afonso de Albuquerque, who conquered Goa in 1510. Having established Goa as the Portuguese eastern headquarters and naval base, de Albuquerque decided to capture Malacca and in April 1511, left Goa with 18 ships and 1400 men, comprising both Portuguese troops and Indian auxiliaries.
Upon their arrival in Malacca, the Portuguese did not attack immediately, but instead began negotiations for the return of their prisoners while the same time try to find any insider information regarding Malacca Fortress.

The generals were determined to win the war Malaccan troops attacked the Portuguese and destroyed the Portuguese troops in Malacca despite the fact that the King was Procrastinating, this happened because someone discovered that someone is collaborating with the Portuguese and convinced the troops that they should never pause because any delay will cause a defeat.[1]

In a separate situation, the traitor was caught and thrown outside of Malacca.
The Sultan of Malacca thought that the war would end up as a failure but ended up as a success to the people of the Sultanate of Malacca.

In the second attempt that they tried to conquer Malacca in 1512 it ended up in failure so it was not tried again, this was an inspiration of the other Southern Asian Kingdoms to resist Western aggression towards them.

It is not known what would have happened if the battle was a Portuguese victory since Portugal was able to still establish in the Malay Archipelago.

Because of the growing Islamic force in Demak and Cirebon, the Hindu king of Sunda, Sri Baduga, sought assistance from the Portuguese at Goa. Sri Baduga would cede the city of Jayakarta to the Portuguese on 1515 in exchange for protection against the muslims. By 1522 the Portuguese were ready to form a full coalition with the Sundanese king in order to gain access to the profitable pepper trade.

The Portuguese would send in missionaries to Sunda to promote Christianity in Sunda, Sri Baduga would support the missionary efforts as he believes that the portuguese would protect his kingdom and allowing christianity would appease their allies, the portuguese.

In 1522, the Portuguese sent a ship from Goa, the São Sebastião under Captain Henrique Leme, to Sunda Kalapa with valuable gifts for the king of Sunda. Two written sources detail the concluding of the treaty: the original Portuguese document of 1522, with the text of the treaty and the signatures of the witnesses.

According to these sources, the Portuguese were welcomed warmly by the former crown prince, now King Prabu Surawisesa Jayapercosa (or King Surawisesa of Pajundan, also called Ratu Sang Hyang, Portuguese Ratu Samian); Barros called him King Samião. The Portuguese were allowed to build a fortress at the mouth of the Ciliwung River where they could load black pepper to their ships. The King also pledged to give one thousand sacks (more than 20 tons) each year to the Portuguese. The treaty was executed in two copies, one for the king of Sunda, one for the king of Portugal; each was signed on August 21, 1522. The Sundanese king's deputies were the chief mandarin Padam Tumangu (Honourable Tumenggung), the mandarins Sangydepaty (Sang Adipati) and Benegar (Bendahara or treasurer), and the shahbandar (harbourmaster) of the land, named Fabian.

"On the said day", these mandarins and other honorable men, together with Henrique Leme and his entourage, went to the mouth of the river where the fortress would be constructed, on the "land called Sunda Kalapa". There they erected a memorial stone, called a padrão, in what is now the Tugu sub-district of North Jakarta. It was a Portuguese custom to set up a padrão (memorial stone) when they discovered a new land. The padrão, now called the Luso-Sundanese padrão, is kept in the National Museum.

Because of troubles in Goa, Portuguese India, the Portuguese failed to keep their promise to come back the following year to construct the fortress. They did not return to the Java Sea until November, 1526, when they arrived in six ships from Bintan under the command of Francisco de Sá.

Sultan Bolkiah's victory over Maynilad/Kota Seludong by defeating the Majapahitan Hindus in Seludong and as well as his marriage to Laila Mecanai, the daughter of Sulu Sultan Amir Ul-Ombra, widened Brunei's influence in the Philippines.

This increased Brunei's wealth as well as extending Islamic teachings in the region, resulting in the influence and power of Brunei reaching its peak during this period. Bolkiah's rule reached essentially all of coastal Borneo, as far south as Banjarmasin, and as far north as the island of Seludong, including Kota Seludong[1] in Northern Maritime South East Asia.

On the Abdul Kahar and his successor Saiful Rijal in Borneo with the Missionaries from Java, Sumatra via Borneo and Brunei itself would prosetylize Islam on the Coastal Seludong(the other names of Seludong is Sapa and Suvarnadvipa/Gintu, in OTL it is known as Luzon) and Seludong bay in the cities of Faru[2], Bigan[3], Makabebe[4] and Tundun[5].

Due to the Malaccan defeat of the Portuguese, Aceh and Demak would not be engaged in wars against the Portuugese because they are weaker in the east of the Indian Ocean and they would ignore the Portuguese vassal kingdoms like Sunda since they are weak enough to be a threat to them and due to this the Muslim traders and missionaries from Java and Sumatra would spread to Coastal Seludong inc. Seludong bay and Coastal Borneo causing the coastal towns of Faru, Bigan, Makabebe and Tundun to be totally islamicized in the end of the 16th century, the same would would happen in Kumintang area but the majority of the effort in the Kumintang area would be from Borneo.

On 1511, in order to prevent the Duke of Saxony, Friedrich from rebelling, Emperor Maximilian would marry Margaret of Austria, the dowager Princess of Austria and Duchess of Austria to the Friedrich of Saxony, the marriage would produce two surviving Children Eleanor of Saxony b. 1512 and Friedrich b. 1515.

Catherine of Aragon was pregnant four times altogether, with Henry VIII
In August 1509, two months after the wedding, Catherine's first pregnancy was announced. On March 2 1510 she delivered a healthy girl. She was named Joanna and Christened 2 days after her birth.

By early 1513, Catherine was pregnant again. On 30 June 1513, Catherine was left as regent in England when Henry VIII went to fight in France. In November 1513, she went into labour prematurely and gave birth to a stillborn boy.

In the summer of 1515, Catherine announced her third pregnancy; however, less hope was placed on an heir following her previous failed pregnancies. On 18 February 1516, Catherine delivered a healthy girl at 4 a.m. at Greenwich Palace, Kent. She was named Mary and christened three days later (21 February) with great ceremony at the Church of Observant Friars. Despite his evident disappointment, Henry VIII said that if it were a girl this time then surely boys would follow.

In February 1518, Catherine announced her sixth pregnancy. In March, she visited Merton College, Oxford and also made a pilgrimage to the shrine of St Frideswide, asking for a healthy son. On 10 November 1518 she gave birth to a son named Henry, duke of Cornwall[1].

Catherine of Aragon would die on 1530, causing Henry VIII to marry Catherine of Austria as his second wife on 1531, Catherine of Austria was betrothed to Francis I. On 1520, Eleanor of Castille marries John III of Portugal, despite the lust of the Portuguese King Manuel I lust over her due to the narrow survival of Queen Maria on the birth of her last child on 1517.

The Portuguese turned east to Maluku, which comprised a varied collection of principalities and kingdoms that were occasionally at war with each other but maintained significant inter-island and international trade. Through both military conquest and alliance with local rulers, they established trading posts, forts, and missions in eastern Malay Archipelago including the islands of Ternate, Ambon, and Solor.

The height of Portuguese missionary activities, however, came at the latter half of the 16th century, after the pace of their military conquest in the archipelago had stopped due to the union of Portugal and Spain; and sugar in Brazil and the Atlantic slave trade in turn further distracted their Maritime South East Asian efforts. In addition, the first European people that arrived in Northern Sulawesi was the Portuguese.

The Portuguese slowly turn the Kingdoms of Bali and Sunda as their protectorates, in the case of Sunda in 1522 and in the case of Bali in 1530, transforming the two into Christian Kingdoms, the Kingdom of Wehali in Timor and the other Timorese kingdoms would fall under Portuguese suzerainty in 1532 and the surrounding areas in Nusa Tengarra would fall under Portuguese control in 1535.

Queen Claude died on July 20, 1524 at the Château de Blois, aged twenty-four. The exact cause of her death was disputed among sources and historians: while some alleged that she died in childbirth or after a miscarriage, others believed that she died for exhaustion after her many pregnancies or after suffering from bone tuberculosis (like her mother) and finally some believed that she died from syphilis caught from her husband. She was buried at St. Denis Basilica.

She was initially succeeded as ruler of Brittany by her eldest son, the Dauphin Francis, who became Duke Francis III, with Claude's widower King Francis I as guardian.

On 1525, it has been decided that the frail Joanna of England, the daughter of Henry VIII will marry Francis I of France as a bride, the betrothal of Joanna of England and Charles V was cancelled due to his marriage with Isabella of Portugal, while the Duke of Brittany will be married to the Duchess of Viseu, the toddler daughter of Francis III.

Due to his ambition Francis I would marry his own daughter, Louise of Valois to Frederick of Saxony, the grandson of the Emperor in order to try to gain the throne of the Holy Roman Empire after the death of Maximilian, once he has been defeated in 1519, his daughter Madeleine would be married to Charles V on the death of Isabella of Portugal on 1539, however Madeleine would not surivive for long but not before giving birth to a son named Rudolph on 1542 and she died on 1543.

The frail Joanna has also been offered as the wife of the Constable Bourbon but negotiations faltered due to the low standing of the Constable and due to his death in the Italian war.

The proxy marriage happened on 1526 but the actual marriage will happen on 1527, adopting the name Jeanne Tudor, the second wife of Francis II, Queen Jeanne will get tormented by the English mistress of Francis II named Anne Boleyn who is close in age to her.

Jeanne would give birth to two daughters in her marriage to Francis I named Marie b. 1528 and Catherine b. 1532.

Antoine would remarry to the Queen of Navarre, Jeanne after the death of Jeanne of England in 1541.

Marie of Bourbon would only give birth to a sickly son, James b. 1536 and a daughter Marie b. 1542

Catherine of Austria was married to Henry VIII after the death of Catherine of Aragon, this marriage would produce a daughter Elizabeth b. 1532 and a son named Edward b. 1538 who would not survive the reign of his elder brother Henry, he is also sickly and sterile.

In the case of Henry IX, earlier, Henry, duke of Cornwall, he would marry Margaret of France, the marriage would produce no issue, after her marriage with Henry IX, the dowager queen would marry the duke of Savoy Emmanuel Philibert, duke of Savoy on 1560 and produce a son, Charles Emmanuel.

In the case of Mary Tudor she would be married to Ferdinand, the duke of Calabria on 1539 after the death of Germaine de Foix, as a suggestion of Charles V.

The integration of the three kingdoms of Aragon, Castile and Portugal would happen on the marriage of Infanta Margarita of Aragon and Castile and Infante Juan of Portugal, due to the marriage between them Infante Juan and Margaret I of Castile and Portugal after 1550 after Charles V died, Margarita would be the female monarch and infante Joao would be the consort.

Margarita and her husband Juan would implement the Delascasas reforms in the colonies and declare a cease fire with the Tawantisuyu rebel by establishing a vassal answering to the Spanish and Portuguese, Margarita would let the enemies of the old Aztec Empire as independent polities and New Spain would be the crown lands.

Queen Margaret I would be said to be as great as her great grandmother Isabella of Castile.

In the meantime Maria would be married to Francis II of France on 1540 in order to advance peace between France and Portugal, however, none of the lines of Francis I would survive as Maria would produce only daughters and all of the sons of Francis' brother Catherine de Medici would die as children causing the throne to pass to the Bourbons on the death of Francis II on 1589.
