catherine of aragon

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...

1 October, 1501, The Kingdom of Scotland. Catherine of Aragon stood tall as she observed her surroundings in confusion, taking in every little detail as her eyes traced the landscape. Around her stood towering mountains, coated in lush green grass. Although the sun did shine, the air was...

“1502 was an action-packed year for the Tudor dynasty. It almost ended in tragedy in Spring when the newly wed Prince and Princess of Wales, Arthur Tudor, and Katherine of Aragon, fell ill with the lethal sweating sickness. Many prayed for the young couple and Henry VII sent the finest...

What if the son of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon lived instead of dying less than two months after his birth? Catherine of Aragon’s position as Queen would be secured as Henry would have no reason for searching an annulment here…

After a brief hiccup when Arthur fell briefly ill following the wedding, the newlyweds traveled to the Welsh Marches. Their final destination was meant to be Ludlow Castle but necessary repairs under way which had fallen behind schedule forced Catherine and Arthur to settle temporarily at Tong...

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...

With a POD in 1536, give Henry VIII 8 wives! Henry VIII will die in 1547, as per OTL. Bonus points if you can include some of his prospective wives from OTL and get Henry VIII to have more children than IOTL!

"Early 1502, appeared as though it would be a sad year for all of England. The King and Queen, Henry VII and Elizabeth of York had lost their eldest son and heir, Arthur, Prince of Wales. Their son was only 15 years old and was the 'Great Tudor Hope'. Arthur's wife, whom he had only married 6...

During Catherine of Aragon's journey to England in 1501, it was quite stormy and if I remember correctly she had to return back to Spain. So what if Catherine had been less lucky and during her journey to England she was shipwrecked and drowned? Who does Arthur marry now? How does Isabella of...

A thought I had a while back, basically in otl Anne of Cleves went along with Henry VIII's will to divorce her and as such was given estates to live on and made an honorary member of the royal family. So I wondered what if Catherine of Aragon did the same? Acknowledging that their marriage was...

So in our world the general consensus of Arthur and Catherine's marriage was that it had not been consummated. But what if the consensus was it had been consummated? Obviously Catherine would return to Spain, but what about her dowry? Would it be kept by Henry VII? Who does Catherine marry to...

So in our world Queen Isabella of Castile gave birth to twins in 1482. One was Maria of Aragon and the second a stillborn. But what if instead of Maria being the twin, Catherine was and that stillborn was in fact a healthy boy named Ferdinand? How would things go on? Might Henry VII of England...

"It was in 1502 that England almost lost one of their most important Kings. This was none other than Arthur Tudor, Prince Of Wales. Arthur was the eldest son of King Henry VII and Queen Elizabeth of York, who had spent years trying to help England recover from the Wars Of The Roses. Arthur was...

So despite only having joined this site yesterday, I have written timelines before for fun. So I thought that I might tackle the idea of Arthur Tudor surviving his fight with the sweating sickness back in 1502 and how things would change. I have some ideas already planned out but could do with...

Just trees, some little snippets and character descriptions from an universe who I do not know if I will ever transform in a full TL... POD is Henry VIII dying in 1511 with Margaret inheriting England and Catalina remarrying another three times...

Change is simple: second child of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York is born male (boy named Henry). For sake of simplicity let's say that rest of their children are like IOTL. So that Henry, born in 1489, would be old enough to marry before death of Queen Isabella of Castile (thus before Joanna...

What would have happened if Henry VII was willing to return the part of Catherine's dowry that Ferdinand had already paid? Would Ferdinand have suggested that Catherine marry Prince Henry? If not, who would he have wanted Catherine to marry next? Would he have used her as a pawn to regain...

Hello everyone, so I decided to start a second timeline (I'll still update my first one, but I wanted to mix things up with a more narrative one). Anyway, I've decided to explore the possibility of Catherine of Aragon not marrying Henry VIII, going back to Spain for several years, and then...

To steal from my fanfic summary (which I will be loosely using as a basis for this timeline): Between 1495-1502, four important Crown Princes died in history. But what if they didn't? What if when Arthur Tudor became king of England, those three princes were his counterparts? Six months after...
