For those keeping up with my TL, The Red Princess will see I'm getting closer to the mid-1480s. Fernando and Isabel have a brood of children that looks as follows:

  • Isabel (b.1470), currently betrothed to Charles, Dauphin of France
  • Juan, Prince de los Asturias e Girona (b.1475), Edward IV wants to marry Juan to his daughter, Anne or Katherine; Fernando and Isabel are looking at a match with Anne of Brittany (who has a surviving brother TTL), among others
  • Alfonso (b.1477)
  • Juana (b.1479), Fernando is negotiating for her to either marry the duke of Burgundy (Charles the Bold and Margaret of York's son) or an archduke of Austria
  • Maria (b.1480), Elizabeth of York, Queen of Portugal TTL wants a Spanish infanta for her son, but the Catholic monarchs aren't biting; Fernando wants an Austrian archduke for her if Juana marries into Burgundy.
  • Ana (b.1480, d.1480)
  • Pedro (b.1483)
  • Catalina (b.1485)
  • Stillborn Son (b.1490)
NOTE: Since all except Isabel (b.1470) are born before the POD (February/March 1471), while they may have the same names, they're not necessarily the same people.

As one can see, most of their daughters are already betrothed, with the glaring exception of the youngest, Catalina. So, since an English match is out for her (spoiler: Edward V's son is only gonna happen in the 1490s, and in any case, doesn't need the legitimacy Katherine (and Elizabeth of York) bestowed on the Tudors OTL), where else might she be married?

Thoughts are much appreciated.
