Henry Brandon, son of Charles Brandon and Mary Tudor, was Earl of Lincoln, heir to his father's Duchy of Suffolk and the only English and male heir to the throne in the later years of Henry VIII's marriage to Catherine of Aragon. He died in 1534 in his early teens, but if he survived, he would have been one of the richest nobles in the land, undisputably legitimate, English male.

He would have been an ideal candidate for Mary's hand, both in Henry VIII's and Edward's reign, or Edward's heir, assuming the exclusion of his two (Bastard?) sisters. Likewise, he would have made an ideal consort for Mary Queen of Scots, a more potent Darnley if you will.
