In 1559 it was purposed by Philip II of Spain that Elizabeth I of England marry his cousin, Charles II of Austria. The marriage proposal fell through once and was brought up again before being put to rest largely for religious reasons. Lets say that Charles is exposed to Lutheranism early in life like his brother Maximilian II was, and therefore is more willing to meet Elizabeth's requirement and the two wed. Thoughts? I mean the Habsburgs will become the royal house in England, however Charles' sons also became Holy Roman Emperors. How does France react when surrounded by Protestant Habsburg Brothers?
