Idea for another tree: The daughters of HRE charles VI are born boys
And yet he didn't do this IOTL when he could have done that instead of telling the Pope "do not let Henry divorce my aunt"?
that was probably because he was fighting numerous battles against Protestant Princes, and he did certainly cause trouble for him a lot.
Plus, even Charles knew he couldn't do anything, which is why he downright abandoned his aunt and made very little complaint about it, and by little, I mean denouncing Henry, probably shouting that he was going to go to hell, before saying 'f*ck it, I cant focus too much on this pasty ginger POS, I am fighting Protestants and England can screw itself' and maybe telling Chapuys to write reports on Mary.
Charles did also previously sack Rome in 1527 (Of course he claims he didn't do that, but I find that a 'likely' story) and a sack of Rome would be costly. He could do that, but he probably has better use for the money he would need to do that.
Edit: And France

yes but ulrich of wurttemberg got his fief revoked by the emperor (either maximilian or charles, i forget which) and it was eventually given to ferdinand of austria before he became king of hungary and bohemia
Does anyone know why Vilhemine Marie of Denmark had no children from either marriage?
He does briefly take over Rome ITL, but Protestants ravage Germany which causes him to go back, along with a Spanish Rebellion.

it got revoked first by Friedrich III in the 1490s, in favour of Eberhard the Bearded. Then, on Eberhard's death with no heirs, it passed to Eberhard II. Who Max had to go rescue a couple of times and he basically deposed Eberhard II in favour of his underage nephew, Ulrich. Unfortunately, Ulrich didn't get along with the population either, and Max put him under the imperial ban (twisting the knife when he sent Ulrich's brother, the Elector Palatine to serve it) if he didn't comply (or treat his wife with a species of decency). Ulrich didn't and wound up deposed as well. Then in 1519, the Württembergers sold the dukedom to Karl V and he enfeoffed Ferdinand with it.
Far too late/early. Henry started to lose interest in the annulment after Louis XII died, and then Catherine became pregnant with Mary so the question was set aside for another decade
Burgundy will go to Philip not to John (who likely will end in the Church).
It was Maximilian (Ulrich's wife Sabina was Maximilian's niece)
Philip II will likely remarry to Maria of Viseu here while Claude of France was physically unfit so she would never be accepted by the Habsburg. Charles will marry earlier to a princess closer to his age
I figured Philip Sr would want Burgundy independent

Charles who, excuse me? Plus if Charles inherited Spain instead of his elder brother, Philip jr would be already Duke of Burgundy since the death of his father (but he would have likely travelled to Spain with his parents after the death of Isabella, as he would be ould enough for doing it and Philip had another son to leave in Burgundy, unlike OTL). The likeliest split is Philip becoming King of Spain, Charles as Duke of Burgundy and Emperor (likely to receive also Alsace), Maximilian (who I guess is not born in Spain here) as Archduke of Austria and husband of Anne of Hungary and John in the Church (or Duke of Württemberg)
