NOTES

NOTES:
Miguel and Madeleine match would be surely in Ferdinand’s plans if both had survived. ATL Madeleine d’Albret and her youngest sister Isabella (who married her OTL husband) were the only child of Catherine of Foix still alive at her death (and Madeleine also was destined to an early grave) so the ATL Spain on which John III ruled included the whole Iberian peninsula plus Naples, Sicily and Sardinia and had all the colonies of both Spain and Portugal.

Philip of Burgundy choose the weddings for Eleanor of Austria who, without future Henry VIII available, was engaged to the heir of Lorraine and Charles, who was engaged to Mary Tudor (the elder) as OTL, while the weddings of the younger two were arranged by Maximilian, who married off also his granddaughters by Margaret and Philibert (Charles V arranged Mary’s second wedding)
Charles later remarried to his cousin Isabella of Portugal and was pretty unlucky with both as he had no surviving kids and died months after his second wife, likely consumed more by the guilt (as both Mary and Isabella died in childbirth and he had loved both of them) than the illness.
While his wedding to Catherine was more frustrating than his OTL one, the fact who Austria/Burgundy and Spain were NOT destined to be unite prevented Henry VIII to broke his sister‘s engagement to Charles II of Burgundy after his father-in-law’s betrayal (as he had no direct tie to the Habsburgs). Catherine’s death after a miscarriage was a blessing for Henry, whose successive wedding to another Spanish princess (Joanna of Portugal) was much happier with four of their five kids surviving (and among them an heir and a spare with good health).
Henry VIII’s heir married a Spanish cousin (when his third sister become the second wife of John III of Spain), while his younger brother, well, scandalised court eloping with the eldest daughter of the Earl of Northumberland (by his second wife) in a wedding much more scandalous than the contrasted one of her parents (and both are remembered among the great love stories of that age). The fact who lady Anne was niece of one of the tree long time mistresses of King Henry VIII (who were all blondes) only added to the scandal but was the reason for which they were pardoned rather quickly (like the King’s great friend Charles Brandon had been pardoned by the King after seducing and secretly marring his widowed sister once sent in Scotland as ambassador). James V of Scotland married Henry VIII’s eldest daughter while his full brother Alexander married their relative Madeleine of Albany (they had an half-brother and three half-sisters by Margaret’s second wedding).
Eleanor of Austria had an horrible 1520 as all her kids caught an illness who killed the three boys (the youngest only few months old) and to which only her daughter survived. She became deeply attacked to her daughter after this, specially after another illness killed her only other child years later.
The Francis II of Milan who married Christina of Denmark (who ATL was born 7 months after her father’s death) is NOT her OTL husband, but his nephew (Maximilian I of Milan married his cousin Bona and they had five children: Francesco, Isabella, Beatrice, Bianca Maria and Ludovico (who inherited his mother’s Duchy of Bari) while his brother died unmarried and childless).
Maximilian and his sons Ernest and Maximilian were able (and lucky as all three in the end married heiresses) rulers who were able to create and consolidate their Kingdoms, reducing a lot the power of the nobility in all their lands
France well will be pretty screwed as Francis I’s eldest son died leaving only a daughter as heiress of Brittany and his younger sons by Claude died childless, so the French crown was inherited by his eldest son by Mary of Savoy (Francis himself will arrange the wedding of his last Dauphin to another Spanish infanta, for securing his borders and hoping to have early a grandson of a good age to be married to his infant granddaughter, the next Duchess of Brittany, but Brittany will fall outside the hands of the King of France).

Joanna and Margaret will have much happier lives than their OTL ones, Margaret in Savoy with her beloved Philibert and children, while Joanna, Regent of Burgundy for her son will be know as the grieving Duchess as she would never dismiss the mourning for her beloved Philip (as after his early death she will remember only their love and not his cruelty).


Henry Percy, the 6th Earl of Northumberland, without doubt owed his fame to his well know love for his second wife, the fascinating and cultured Anne Boleyn (who he secretly married mere days after receiving the annulment from his first disastrous wedding to lady Mary Talbot, who he was forced to marry) but also for being father of a couple of girls who definitely left a sign in history: the eldest lady Anne Percy (born in 1531) was naturally the great love for which Edward, Duke of York risked everything, while the second Elizabeth, Countess of Leicester (born in 1533) was acknowledged as one of the greatest women of culture of her times and remembered for her passionate marriage with her childhood friend Robert Dudley, great friend of his future brother-in-law Edward. Robert was born as younger son of John Dudley, Viscount Lisle and would become one of the best military commanders of Henry IX, receiving the Earldom of Leicester as recompense for his military victories. While Anne of York and Elizabeth of Leicester are without doubt the most famous among Henry and Anne‘s children, the others deserve at least a passing mention: George, 7th Earl of Northumberland (born 1536), named after the Saint and his maternal uncle and godfather who was the only surviving boy; Catherine, Countess of Ormonde (born in 1537) who married the son of the Irish cousin who her mother had been once destined to marry; Eleanor, Countess of Wiltshire (born 1538) who married her cousin George Boleyn, the only surviving child of her maternal uncle George; and the youngest Alice, Duchess of Suffolk (born 1540), who married the grandson of Princess Margaret and the Duke of Suffolk, whose mother, born Katherine Willoughby was another lady well know for her culture.
