Sybille or Amalia
Hello, crappy PS skills. Update later after class.
I quiet like your Photo shopped painting looks authentic to me
Moral of the story: EUROPEAN NOBLES HAVE NO CREATIVE NAMING SKILLS
The problem was with all the inbreeding that was going on, it was hard to think of new names.
Isabella of Braganza (1514)
- daughter of Jaime of Braganza, nephew of Manuel I of Portugal
- OTL given the Duchy of Guimarães as her dowry
Would be good to have a married alliance with Portugal but what would happen to the Duchy of Guimarães, would it be given to England as a wedding gift or recalled make to another Portuguese noble.
Elisabeth (1510) and Margaret (1511) of Brandenburg
- Hohenzollerns
- Protestant
The Protestant could make the English public happy but not the Pope or other Catholic leaders.
Also what religion is the heir brought up in? Or would either of these change their religion to be future Queen.
Margaret Palaeologa (1510)
- OTL became suo jure Marchioness of Montferrat
Montferrat is not really a major player in medieval politics, so a marriage to Margaret would not be of any use for the future King.
Renée of France (1510)
- daughter of Louis XII
Charlotte of France (1516)
- daughter of Francis I of France
In OTL Renée would became an important supporter of the Protestant reformation and ally of John Calvin would this still be the case if she is Queen of England.
Charlotte was engaged to Charles I of Spain after the death of her sister Louise in 1517 and would die herself in 1724.
Isabel of Navarre (1512)
- daughter of John and Catherine de Navarre
King Francis may see this as a way for the English to regain the Duchy of Gascony from France and making Navarre into a larger kingdom - so an earlier 9 year war could be on the cards between the two kingdoms.
Hedwig Jagiellon (1513) and Anna (1515)
- daughters of Sigismund I of Poland
- OTL, Anna died in 1520
The Jagiellon family is not very powerful and an alliance with the ill fated Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth will not do England any good.
Sybille (1512), Anne (1515), and Amalia (1517) of Cleves
- historical in joke?
I would hate to subject Anne to be called ugly in another TL so either Sybille or Amalia would be suitable although they both die at a young age. Regarding it as a joke would ruin the TL.
Catherine Parr (1512)
- historical in joke
Parr's mother was a close friend and attendant of Catherine of Aragon, and Catherine Parr was probably named after Queen Catherine, who was her godmother.
Margaret Douglas (1515)
- daughter of Margaret Tudor and the Earl of Angus
Frances Grey (1517)
- daughter of Charles Brandon and Mary Tudor
Margaret in her youth she was high in the favour of her uncle, King Henry VIII but angered him firstly by trying to arrange an unauthorised engagement and secondly by having an affair, unflattering qualities in a queen. Her marriage would also butterfly away her grandson, King James VI of Scotland.
Frances Grey another cousin to Prince Henry, and would most likely be a close friend of his as she was close to her aunt Catherine of Aragonand a childhood friend of Princess Mary. Although would their oldest surviving daughter Princess Jane Grey be allowed to become queen or would her aunt Mary step in ... again (As An In Joke.)
Marie de Bourbon (1515)
- daughter of Charles, Duke of Vendôme
- OTL was considered a bride for James V
A Bourbon and Tudor mix could be a dangerous family.
Marie de Guise (1515)
- OTL queen of James V of Scotland
- eldest daughter of the Duke of Guise
A member of the powerful House of Guise, which played a prominent role in 16th-century French politics. Her main goal was a close alliance between the powerful French Catholic and small Scotland but with England staying Catholic she may make England the devoted kingdom, she too may anger the Protestants public.
Anne Bourchier (1517)
- OTL became suo jure Baroness Bourchier
- mother Mary Say was lady-in-waiting to Catherine of Aragon
Seems a little plain and can find no art of her, also Anne was related to OTL three queen consorts of Henry VIII; Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, and Catherine Howard who all shared the same great-grandmother Elizabeth Cheney.
Eleonore (1515) d'Este
- OTL became a nun
- daughter of Alfonso I, Duke of Modena, Ferrara and Reggio
- member of House Welf
The correct way of saying her name is, Leonora d'Este, she became a nun in honour of her grandfather, Pope Alexander VI, a member of the House Borgia, famous for being the pope who broke the priestly vow of celibacy and had several legitimately acknowledged children.
Also would the English public want a pious devoted Catholic ruling over them?
