And I would gather from that the daughter you have in mind is Elizabeth, not Mary......
Well if consanguinity is anything to go by, it won't be versus, it will be a marriage.
Half-sibling marriage just won't be sanctioned by the church.There's only one record of sibling marriage that's sanctioned to my knowledge--that's Sayri Tupac after he agreed to convert to Christianity.
Though there seems to be one account of it being sanctioned--that's with Sayri Tupac after he agreed to convert to Christianity.That's the single account I've ever read.
If the Fitzroy-mary match saves England from Protestantism?
Its unlikely, but not impossible IMHO.

More likely not.Nobles just rise in revolt over this incestuous match.
Who leads the regency council?
And if I'm not mistaken, the English nobility will not allow a bastard to inherit the kingdom (now, if Henry manages to sire a few children, their children might rise up if Mary doesn't pop out a couple of her own down the line). Doing that is upsetting the balance for their own inheritances - what if 16 yo bastard Tom takes over the estates from toddler half-brother Earl of Somewhere Jr, born in holy matrimony?
