WI: Tudor Spain

Due to him probably having some form of genetic disease, Henry VIII is going to have trouble having too many children with Catherine. His various wives had a lot of miscarrieges. For that matter, both Henry Fitzroy and Edward VI died young. I would say that it'd make sense if they only had a daughter or two.

Exactly what would the French be gibbering if the sole daughter of the king of England and Ireland and queen of Castille, Leon and Aragon marries the Holy Roman Emperor?

Probably the same thing when the sole daughter was betrothed to the HRE who was also King of Castile, Leon and Aragon in OTL.
 
For starters, getting that divorce will be a bit more difficult for Henry VIII since Catherine is now also Queen of Spain (Catherine will also be controlling the Kingdom of Naples and Clement VII won't have the political room to grant the divorce due the Spanish presence in Naples). Ironically his only play is to do what he did in OTL. The major changes in the TL will go down after both Henry and Catherine die. You will definitely see some shenanigans when Edward VI dies as Parliament will attempt to steer the succession straight to Elizabeth to avoid the Queen of Spain (Mary / Maria). This will end badly as Mary will coming to claim what she considers as her rightful throne.

Will Henry try to put Catherine and Mary under house arrest?

This would only be if Catherine became Queen around when Henry was going to divorce her. If she became queen before that, butterflies.
