It is possible that in OTL Katherine Howard - Henry VIII's fifth Queen - had fallen pregnant with his child. The main piece of evidence for this as AIUI is a letter written by Charles Marillac in 1540 which described Katherine as "Grosse", grosse mainly being a verb used to describe pregnant...

In OTL the Battle of the Spurs was a relatively minor battle between English and French forces, though became a major English propaganda piece. But what if Henry VIII died at the battle. Let’s say he falls from his horse. Now what? Obviously England is in crisis now, since they are now in a...

19 September 1486 Henry Tudor, or King Henry VII gained not only one child when his wife gave birth in September 1486, just eight months after the wedding, but instead two. For when Elizabeth of York finally finished the hard work in the birthing bed, she had given her husband the hoped for...

Catherine de Valois and James I of Scotland were close friends during the latter's imprisonment in England. They were part of a scene of young royals/nobles at the courts of Henry V and Henry VI in the early-1420s who formed a close-knit group. It was Catherine who impressed upon the regency...

There is many of threads about potential son of Henry VIII and CoA, so I think it's safe that this is extremly popular idea for a POD. So here's my take: Instead of making one of the OTL sons of the royal couple or having Henry produce hair apparent in 1510's. What if Henry and Cetherine got...

With any Pod after Henry VIII death in 1547, your challenge is to get England to majority Anglican in 2021 with the latest Pod possible before 1900. Feel free to make the church more Calvinist, High Church, or whatever within reason to accomplish this. Bonus points if you manage to make Wales...

Henry, the only son of Henry VIII and his first wife Katherine of Aragon, who was born in 1516 and is the apple of his parents' eyes. He is devoutly Catholic, and a hot ticket in the European marriage market, though was never married off for some reason or another. However, when his parents fall...

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...

Who is the mother of this child, you ask? And what is her age when she gives birth? Well...who the mother is, will be up to you

Straight-forward. Henry gets his legitimate male heir at long last, Edward VI, unfortunately he dies right after this son is born. His third wife, Jane Seymour, becomes queen dowager and queen mother. What would change?

Does Henry, Duke of York also fall for Anne? Up to you to decide. Either way, what does this change? We will say that this son of Arthur and Katherine is born in New Year's, 1503, and is named Ferdinand after Katherine's father. Ferdinand I of England is a child king when he succeeds to the...

Katherine of Aragon was pregnant six times, with only one successful attempt that produced her daughter Mary I. What if they were all successful, but she only bore her husband daughters? Here are the girls (feel free to change the names if you feel they are unlikely): Isabella (b. 1510) Alice...

The two were betrothed as children before this arrangement was broken off. What if it hadn't been broken off? What if the two married in 1533, right before Mary was declared illegitimate? And because Francis' father and brother had seven and ten children, respectively, and Mary's mother was...

Here is the completed version of Henry Tudor, Heretic and Father of Kings. It can be discussed here. 1502 “The English court held their collective breaths as both the Prince and Princess of Wales fell ill sometime during March of 1502, probably with the sweating sickness that was commonly...

The idea for this POD is simple, sometime after 1520, when Henry VIII supposely lost any chance to have son with Catherine of Aragon, instead of going for annulment, decides that it's much less problematic to just fin another way around "till death do us part". So, Catherine of Aragon dies a...
