Interesting idea - or what if Henry and Charles both died and Princess Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth II?
This is what wikpedia says about her -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Stuart,_Queen_of_Bohemia
I think she would have made an impressive Queen and currently writing a novel about her as Queen.
Had Henry Frederick lived it is likely there'd be no civil war. No rise
Parliament nor that maniac Cromwell
Simply based on timing OTL, she's probably already married Frederick V or is about to by the time both brothers are dead. If not I could see her marrying Christian the younger of Brunswick (second son so there's no personal union)Interesting idea. If she became a queen at a young age, who would she wed?
I think so yes. EspeciallySo we see a more active English monarch?

Henry IX (The Great), it's on the wikiI do not remember the story, but there was a long one where Henry did become King, was quite successful, and even had his Charles executed when the latter tried to rebel against him.
A Howard match seems likelier.Simply based on timing OTL, she's probably already married Frederick V or is about to by the time both brothers are dead. If not I could see her marrying Christian the younger of Brunswick (second son so there's no personal union)
Maybe back in Tudor times? I'm just doubtful that any of the other nobles will be happy with elevating someone in their midst to essentially King (kind of evidenced by the fact that this hasn't happened with any English/British Queen IOTL)A Howard match seems likelier.

Is it better to entangle a contnental dynasty?
Were there any remaining viable descendents of Henry VII alive at the time who might be marry the new Queen?

There's also William Seymour's younger brother as well (and he at least wasn't as involved in the whole arbella Stuart fiasco)William Stanley, 2nd Duke of Somerset
A potential earlier born son of William Stanley, 6th Earl of Derby or his brother Ferdinando Stanley, 5th Earl of Derby
