WI Edward, Henry 6th son had a daughter by Anne Neville

How would a daughter of Edward and Anne Neville alter history..
Would Henry the 7th marry her to strengthen his leadership of the Lancasters or would she be made a Nun so as to not have kids or possible could she become a rallying cry for the Lancaster cause instead of Henry 7th
 
Hmmm, a surviving daughter could have some serious repercussions as who ever marries her would have a potential claim to the throne. If the future Richard III still marries Anne Neville (assuming his brother George Duke of Clarence hasn't imprisoned her for her estates having already married her sister) then he'd likely pack Anne's daughter off to a nunnery or better still some very distant King or Prince.
However as both Anne and her son by Richard were quite ill anyway any potential daughter by Anne and Edward may herself be sickly so might not survive (and it'll be a good excuse for any sudden death on her part too!).

That said if Henry Tudor does get his hands on the little "Princess of Wales" marrying her would bolster his claim to the throne but without the symbolic unification with the House of York you can expect more and possibly stronger rebellions by the claimants to York (much of which have been discussed in other threads).
 
I would think she'd either "die" of be packed off to a convent.

Henry needs to marry the Yorkist heiress for the symbolic bringing together of the house imo and he'll do that, rather than marry her to strength his claim to the head of the House of Lancaster.

Assuming he wins at Bosworth per usual he's already won by arms so needs someone to help keep the peace which is the eldest Woodville daughter.
 
what i would find interesting is how Edward mother would react i believe her names margret... would she steal the baby and raise it in the french court to be married to a french prince... imagine those affects
 
Anne Neville.

The most logical marriage of Henry VII is with Elizabeth of York. Depending on the age and health of this child, she could even be married to Henry's first son by Elizabeth, Prince Author. Or she could be virtually ignored until later, like Clarence's daughter, Margaret, Countess of Salisbury. If she does marry and has issue, I see Henry VIII causing some trouble for them later..
