WI: Henry VIII dies too soon?

[JamesHunter]

Mary I of England (b. 1516) m. 1533 James V of Scotland (b. 1512)

1. James VI of Scotland (b. 1533) m. Catherine of Austria (b. 1533)
2. Katherine (b. 1533) m. Philip I of Portugal (b. 1533)*
3. Henry IX of England (b. 1534) m. Eleanor of Austria (b. 1534)
4. Margaret (b. 1535) m. Rene, Marquis of Elbeuf (b. 1536)
5. Elizabeth (b. 1536) m. John III of Sweden (b. 1536)*

*son of John III of Portugal who ITTL did not die young.
*he doesn't seem to have been either Catholic or Protestant

Most likely James VI and I actually, provided Mary and James rule well and both sides get used to the idea.

True, but they have two sons in my tree, meaning it would be possible to split the kingdoms so that it's not one man running everything. Charles V is a good example of why you do NOT do that

True, although the two Kingdoms are next door (instead of half a continent apart) and Scotland and England managed it well enough for fifty years (after the end of the Commonwealth as obvious the first half of the personal union was a bit of a disaster). Also no rough wooing and the effort by Henry VII to improve relations is still in recent memory, so hopefully its a decent point to settle things for good.

True. James VI and I, then, and Henry Duke of York and Albany.
