Basically, how does the English royal family work if, in 1534, Edward, Prince of Wales is born to Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. However, after 14 years of being seemingly healthy, he drops dead in 1548, shortly after his father. How does this play out. Let's say Anne has 4 other pregnancies past this point: 1536 (miscarriage), 1538 (Princess Margaret), 1540 (Stillborn Son) and 1541 (Prince Henry, who dies two weeks later).
