What if Henry VIII allowed the match to happen? If Mary and Philip have sons, what are the changes in the English succession? Also, if Mary becomes queen like in OTL, what happens to Elizabeth?

“Off with h-her head.” The young girl was wobbling nervously and her voice was shaky. “Guilford I don’t know why I did it please! Forgive me!” Guilford Dudley also didn’t know why his normally sweet and submissive wife would act like that. Beheading a princess of the blood! However she also had...

Just floating around an idea I randomly thought of for a possible TL (I’m not the best at creating but I just wanted to get some ideas down). In this ATL, Henry VIII died on schedule, however, his son Edward VI died in late October/early November 1547–forever known to historians as the "Nine...

The Young Queen Mary in her younger years "Queen Mary Tudor was born on February 18, 1516, at the Palace of Placentia in Greenwich, her birth was seen with some disappointment by her father, King Henry VIII, who had long hoped for a son to guarantee the continuity of the Tudor dynasty, the The...

I can't even remember the last time I've posted here. To be honest, I lost interest in writing and alt. history for quite some time, but over the last year I've gotten back into it. I've slowly been starting to write again... I've had quite a few ideas, but nothing has really kept my interest up...

What if Mary Tudor’s first pregnancy was real?

What if Henry VIII decided to effectively ask for the annulment of his wedding to Catherine of Aragon at the end of 1514?

What if Henry VIII got ahead with his intention to ask an annulment from Catherine of Aragon in 1514 and then remarried to Eleanor of Austria while his sister Mary remarried to Maximilian I once widowed by Louis XII (Max had that idea in OTL before Mary remarried to Brandon)

What if Charles V married Mary Tudor (the elder) in 1515 and as consequence the Habsburg would be divided in three branches instead of the OTL two?

April 1555 Mary I of England's pregnancy was derided as a pipe dream of a middle-aged woman who longed for the glory days of her youth. She was nearing the age of forty and was considered by everyone to be too old to conceive. Yet she never lost hope that God had blessed her after decades of...

Born in 1492, Charles Orlando would be the only surviving child of his parents, King Charles VIII of France and Duchess Anne of Brittany. After succeeding his father at the age of six, his mother ruled as regent in his name, working alongside his heir presumptive Louis, Duke of Orleans. The...

In 1528, Catherine of Aragon, the Queen of England had died and Henry VIII was considering an annulment to the pope so that he can marry his own love, Anne Boleyn prior to her death, who he had already in his side and wanted to marry after his own annulment. Catherine of Aragon died in 1528 and...

What if the Princess had died during Henry VIII's struggle for the annulment of his marriage? Suppose that she catches the sweating disease, followed by a very much predictable result. I assume Katherine's spirit will be broken by this, as will Henry's to some extent. Will he be accused of...

She would only be four years older than him, so she would likely begin to be able to bear children earlier, plus there's no need to wait for maturity like there would be with the younger Mary. Plus they were OTL betrothed. What happens if this match pushes through, instead of her French match?

This should be pretty straight-forward, but I want to know what it'd change for literally everyone else in this timeline tbh

Archduchess Eleanor of Austria-Burgundy was the eldest daughter and first child of Philip the Fair of Burgundy and Joanna I of Castile, and without any doubt the greatest match in circulation, but that was not enough for save her from heartbreaks, starting with the total absence of any...

y'all know what this is about aka the Mary becomes queen in 1536 TL ___________________ Equal and Indivisible - A Tudor Timeline Sketch of the Lady Mary, daughter of King Henry, done by Hans Holbein in 1536 “No one could have disproved that this august Lady was the daughter of Kings.” –...

The old menace is haunting me again, and by the old menace, I mean that one line in Wolf Hall where after the disastrous 1536 joust and everyone thinks Henry’s dead from falling off his horse, Cromwell immediately sent for Fitzwilliam to fetch Mary because, in his own words, he “cannot hold the...

St Germain-de-Laye, May 1514 They don’t make the most prepossessing of couples as they emerge from the chapel door, blinking in the bright May sunlight. Oh, the groom is striking enough. His complexion might be a little swarthier than is held to be ideal, his nose a little too hooked, but his...

What would it take to have Edward VI married with an heir before his death? Besides drastically extending his life (a year or two is fine, but if he lives to his twenties it's not that hard to give him an heir). My first thought is a marriage to Lady Jane Grey, with one child (maybe another on...
