How would this affect the reformation in England and elsewhere?
What happens with the Habsburg territories in this scenario? Are we assuming that Joanna dies but Philip remarries, or both of them are childless?
I'm curious as to HOW much of Spain would stay with the crown if it went to the Tudors. After all 'Spain' in this era wasn't a united country but the Kingdoms of Castile and Aragon united under one person, along with the crowns of Naples, and 'Burgundy' (future Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and bits of Germany).
If the Spanish Habsburgs go extinct, how would this be divided up?
France's worst nightmare: The spanish ruled by the english while having strong ties with the habsburgs.
Portugal was already allied with England and had good relations with Castille after the Succession War, so it is just Scotland.Portugal, maybe, and Scotland.
And Ottomans.Portugal was already allied with England and had good relations with Castille after the Succession War, so it is just Scotland.
Honestly,we don't know a lot about Arthur to comment on him.Henry was a decent king(if you discount the deficit spending and excessive wars) until his middle reign.Well France may shit itself, the Austrians get a new ally, the question is how do the Cortes and Parliament work out. IF there is no Charles V, Enrique or Arturo are going to have to deal with managing Castile and Aragon, and maybe even Naples and Sicily.
Arthur if he is not like his brother might be a better choice by virtue of the fact that he might be less likely to go against the clergy or spend as much as his brother. Henry given all that went down in his reign would be really worrisome, especially if he covets the monasteries, but then again he has new world gold which might be worse.
