What if Catherine of Aragon died on her way to England in 1501?

I think Arthur and Sidonie having six or seven children, with perhaps 3 or 4 living to adulthood would be pretty likely.

Here is a potential tree for them (Not sure who they all marry, but Beatrice of Portugal may be good for their eldest living son)
Arthur I of England (b.1486, d.1540) m. Sidonie of Bavaria, Queen of England (b.1488, d.1556) had issue
1) Henry Tudor (b.1504, d.1504)
2) Edward, Prince of Wales, later Edward VI of England (b.1506, d.1558)
3) Elizabeth Tudor (b.1509, d.1569)
4) Edmund, Duke of Somerset (b.1513, d.1575)
5) Margaret Tudor (b.1515, d.1516)
6) Eleanor Tudor (1) (b.1519, d.1580)
7) Miscarriage (1522)
(1) This name may be seen as less likely, but it is the name of Sidonie's maternal grandmother, and Eleanor is hardly an outlandish name in England...

Hmm so something like:

King Arthur I (1486-1539) reign began in 1512, M. Sidonie of Bavaria (1488-1537), had issue

1. Stillborn son (1505)
2. Prince Henry (1507-1509)
3. Princess Margaret (1508-1559)
4. Prince Henry (1509)
5. King Arthur II (1510-1562)
6. Prince Henry, Duke of Somerset (1512-1550)
7. Princess Elizabeth (1514-1578)

Looks good, but their second son would probably be Duke of Somerset since his uncle is Duke of York..

Beatrice of Portugal or Catherine of Austria are the most likely choices here.

Here Arthur will most likely marry Catherine of Austria.
