Elizabeth of York

Chapter 2
On 9 April 1483, Elizabeth's father unexpectedly died and her younger brother, Edward V, ascended the throne. Her uncle, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, was appointed regent and protector of his nephews. Her mother, Elizabeth Woodville, tried to deny Gloucester his right to be Lord Protector and keep power within her family. Gloucester opted to take steps to isolate his nephews from their Woodville relations. He intercepted Edward V while he was travelling from Ludlow, where he had been living as Prince of Wales, to London to be crowned king. Edward V was placed in the royal residence of the Tower of London, ostensibly for his protection. Elizabeth Woodville fled with her younger son Richard and her daughters into sanctuary in Westminster Abbey. Gloucester asked to take Richard with him, so the boy could reside in the Tower and keep his brother Edward company which Elizabeth Woodville agreed.
Two months later, on 22 June 1483, Edward IV's marriage was declared invalid. It was claimed that Edward IV had at the time of his marriage to Elizabeth Woodville already been betrothed to Lady Eleanor Butler. Parliament issued a bill, Titulus Regius ("The Title of the King"), in support of this position. This measure legally bastardized the children of Edward IV, made them ineligible for the succession, and declared Gloucester the rightful king, with the right of succession of children of George, 1st Duke of Clarence another late brother of Gloucester, who had been attainted, already barred before. Gloucester ascended the throne as Richard III on 6 July 1483, and Edward V and his brother are believed to have disappeared shortly afterwards. Rumors began to spread that they had been murdered, largely from English enemies abroad.

When the titulus regius was signed, Elizabeth of York is engaged to Charles VIII, the dauphin, while after the death of Edward V, Anne of Brittany was kidnapped and betrothed to Edward of Middleham.
It was decided that the marriage between Elizabeth of York and Charles VIII be celebrated on January 4, 1484 on Paris with Elizabeth Woodville who have fled to france and her other daughters who are in the French court as well and discussed about the fate of England, it is decided that like the Catholic Monarchs, Elizabeth of York will rule on her right once England has been liberated if her brother is dead and she and Charles VIII would share powers as co-monarchs.
Before the marriage between the Dauphin and Elizabeth of York has been finalized, she was able to meet with her sisters and talk about their marriages and she have decided what will happen to two of her sisters Mary and Cecily the two next to the succession after her.
Elizabeth of York as Elizabeth I as the Queen in exile would decide that Louis, Duke of Orleans would marry her sister, Mary of York, her younger sister Cecily should marry Henry Tudor and Anne of York will marry James IV which she talked with her sisters.
Louis of Orleans divorced Jeanne of France via the influence of Elizabeth of York on Innocent VIII and Elizabeth of York. Elizabeth of York and Louis of Orleans would force Jeanne of France to a convent to speed up the divorce between them which caused the marriage between Mary of York on the end of 1484.

I feel many of these sentences are... Well, they need time for a person to mentally breathe. Are you trying to display things as if they were academicall or more from the point of view of old timelines on here, in which things are given fairly chronologically, like you might see on a chart showing an actual timeline.

This TL is a reboot of my earlier TL..although this Thread would be a placeholder before I restart but before I restart I decided to revamp the TL.
 
Your run-on sentences make this difficult to read. Shorter sentences.

Is this the TL where Liz weds Charles, becomes Queen of England and none of the nobles object in England?

yes, however, I would make more research on this matter..that is why this is on a break for a while..
 
Chapter 4

Richard III
Chapter 4

After vehemently refusing several proposals of marriage, Joan joined the Dominican Convent of Jesus in Aveiro in 1475. Her brother had, by then, been given an heir, so the family line was no longer in danger of extinction. Still, she was compelled several times to leave the convent and return to the court. She turned down an offer of marriage from Charles VIII of France, 18 years her junior. In 1485, she received another offer, from the recently widowed Richard III of England, who was only 8 months younger.

Joan of Portugal arrived on England and married Richard III on 1486 and gave birth to a daughter for Richard III, the daughter would be named as Elizabeth on 1488. Joan of Portugal would not bear another child again, which was a blessing in disguise because Richard III would betroth his daughter and heiress, Elizabeth to Prince Edward of France, the son of Elizabeth of York in exchange of Elizabeth of York giving up her claims to the English throne which she would give to Prince Edward of France and the English claims to the French throne would go to Elizabeth's first son and Prince Edward would remain King even if Elizabeth would die without children.

The proposal was accepted by the two parties since the English would never want a foreign monarch to rule on the English soil, this treaty would completely end the hundred years war and the war of the roses.

Catherine of Navarre
Chapter 5

In 1483 the death of Francis made Catherine queen under the regency of their mother. Her uncle John of Foix, appealing to the Salic Law alien to the Kingdom of Navarre, claimed the throne and ignited a civil war (1483–1492) that reignited the old conflict of the Beaumont-Agramont parties. In 1484, hard pressed by ambitions over the throne of Navarre, Magdalena of Valois decided to marry 15-year-old Catherine to John of Albret, hailing from a noble family in western Gascony. This marriage was favored by many of Catherine's Iberian subjects and would have given Catherine much needed support in her fight against her uncle's claim.

Catherine of Navarre and Elizabeth of York would be best of friends and Elizabeth of York would suggest Catherine of Navarre to consummate her marriage with her husband Jean of Albret as soon as possible since the two are married in order for Navarre to have some support against the Catholic Monarchs, which would cause two daughters to be born from the marriage Anne of Navarre b. 1490 and Magdalene b. 1493

The wedlock took place at the Notre Dâme Cathedral of Lescar in 1486,: but the coronation of the young couple in Pamplona was deferred until 1494, after a fleeting peace treaty with Louis of Beaumont, Count of Lerín, and Catherine's granduncle, King Ferdinand II of Aragon, was signed, however John, the husband of Catherine died a few days after the coronation, rumored to be poisoned.

However, the marriage did not garner the sympathy of the Navarrese Beaumont party, always preferring Isabella I of Castile's and Ferdinand II of Aragon's offer to marry Catherine to their son John, Prince of Asturias, and even the Agramont party split. Catherine's mother Magdalena died in 1495, forcing Catherine of Navarre into a marriage with the Prince of Asturias.
 
Chapter 6

Young Edward, duke of Normandy

Chapter 6

Elizabeth of York would resume her spousal duties with Charles VIII on 1492, later giving birth to another daughter named Elizabeth on 1493, on this time she will be thinking about changing the treaty terms with her uncle, Richard III, and that her son, Edward will be the heir of Richard III in an event that her daughter has no child with him and also she would want to speed up Elizabeth, Princess of Wales' marriage to her son, Edward, who was given the title of Duke Normandy, he would be known as Edward, duke of Normandy, however it is just a peerage title which would not be administrative as the government of Normandy is held by France.

Richard III finally would completely concede the fact that he would have no son due to his wife Joan of Portugal not having another child and only gave birth to a daughter named Elizabeth. Richard III's allies who considered Edward IV's marriage as illegitimate due to the pre-contract of Edward IV would consider this marriage as an insult, but he would consider this as the consequence of doing something bad to his own nephews, his own flesh and blood.

On 1493, Pope Alexander VI would approve the dispensation between Edward, duke of Normandy and Elizabeth, Princess of Wales's marriage and a proxy marriage was made between the two, however, the actual marriage would be made once the two reach their majority.

Due to what Alexander VI did his son Cesare would be betrothed to Bridget of York who was once destined to the convent, the personality of Bridget and Cesare would clash with each other but the two would really like each other.

Trowulan Ruins

Chapter 7

On the other side of the world in 1490's, the Pinatubo mountain in Saludong, a part of Majapahit Empire would collapse and a few earth quakes would shock the island of Saludong, the Pinatubo Mountain would spew ash although the ash would also fade in few days.

The cone of Pinatubo would collapse and form a lake in its Caldera, the Kingdoms of Sapa(Kingdom of Tondo) and Kabolan would recover from the eruption of Mount Pinatubo and the merchants that trade in city states in Saludong such as Faru, Makabebe Kalumpit and Tundun would remain and the rivers would recover fast in a few months restoring the flow of trade to Majapahit from the North in a manner of a decade, Bruneian, Sumatran and Javanese merchants, immigrants from as well as muslim missionaries from there would later immigrate to the mouth of Bannag and Pampanga rivers as the result of the fertility caused by the ash of Pinatubo eruption in the areas of the Trading cities of Faru and Makabebe.

With the death of Kertabhumi, Ranawijaya was now indisputed ruler of Majapahit. He styled himself Girindrawardhana and Brawijaya VI, the latter to show continuity with his predecessors back to Kritavijaya in 1447. In the Trailokyapuri Jiwu and Petak inscriptions, Girindrawardhana claims that he reunited Majapahit as one kingdom. In the Jiyu inscription, he is referred to as Sri Wilwatikta Jenggala Kediri, which means ruler of Majapahit, and in 1486. However, his power was substantially smaller than his predecessors. Raden Patah named himself the Sultan of and ceased paying homage to the Brawijaya. From that time, the Demak Sultanate rose to become the dominant force in Java.

Demak continued to fight Girindrawardhana. As they claimed descent from Kertabumi, Raden Patah and his successor fought Girindrawardhana in retribution for his death. This conflict undermined the thriving economy,

In 1489, the vice-regent and successful general, Udara, deposed Girindrawardhana, naming himself Brawijaya VII, however on 1500, the ruler of Demak Sultanate, Raden Patah would depose Prabu Udara and install himself as Brawijaya VI starting a Muslim dynasty on Majapahit.
