What if Anne Boleyn do not miscarried her child in 1536? The child was a boy, who would be Henry VIII‘s heir and secure her position as his wife and Queen, making her untouchable for her enemies and destroying forever any hope of Mary to being restored as princess (as Charles V had abandoned her...

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…

Lets say Henry Tudor and Elizabeth of York have only one surviving child-girl born instead of Arthur in 1486, then queen suffers from miscarriage à la Bona Sforza , that does not kill her, but makes her unable to have more kids, so it is expected, that Henry Tudor would not have sons and...

Henry VII of England,( 28 January 1457-29 January 1515), King of England and Lord of Ireland since 22 August 1485 Married his first wife Elizabeth of York (11 February 1466 – 11 February 1503) on 18 January 1486 Married his second wife Joanna of Naples (15 April 1479 – 27 August 1528) on 2...

Does anyone know why Edward chose Jane instead of Frances as his successor? I’ve heard that Frances did something to tick him off or that Jane was more likely to have a son since she would have more childbearing years, but I’ve never found a definitive answer. @FalconHonour @RedKing @Jan...

As you may guess from the title-Elizabeth Tudor is born as boy-and that obviously makes Anne Boleyn 10 feet tall and bulletproof, but not forever. Said boy fell ill and dies aged 10 and Henry VIII is once again without male heir. What would he do? He can't hope to have another child with Anne...

Hello and welcome to my third timeline, and one that I have been cooking for sometime. As the title suggests, this is going to be a "what if Mary Tudor's pregnancy(ies) had been real rather than phantom?" timeline. I'll try to make this be as realistic as possible, though don't be afraid to...

Summer of 1512 Edmund knelt down on his knees in prayer, alongside his sister Mary and his mother Queen Elizabeth. All three of them were praying for the rapid recovery of their king Henry VII, the man who won at Bosworth Field and who inaugurated the Tudor dynasty. But even though they tried...

What it says on the tin. Would Mary remarry? Would she stay in France?

A.K.A the one where I decided that I wrote two Anne Boleyn wins threads, time for a KOA wins thread. Originally, I was going to do one based off my Alternate Monarchs post where Katherine's daughters live, but I just felt I wouldn't be able to pull it off correctly. So here we go. Let's get...

How a different a history of England would be, assuming that despite his his general bad condition, Henry VIII somehow was able to father a son with his most "controversial" wife, Catherine Howard (OTL executed, because she had an affair(s ) ) This way, the dynasty is (at least in theory)...

I’ve read that Isabella proposed that Henry VII remarry Joanna of Naples. What if he did marry her? Let’s say that Joanna managed to give birth to a healthy boy in 1506. Let’s call him Edmund to make things easier. How would this affect things? On one hand, the younger Tudor prince would take...

On 17 May 1536 the sound of two thousand guns blasting and the clanging of cathedral bells welcomed the much-anticipated birth of England’s son and heir. The joyous news spread quickly across the realm, with letters signed personally by our moost happi queen, now resting in Whitehall Palace...

What will happen in a world in which the infamous Henry VIII do not lived enough to become King leaving the crown of England to his younger brother Edmund? We would not have Catherine of Aragon as Queen or the split of the Church from Rome. Edmund is way too young for being married to Arthur’s...

What do you think would have happened if Edward VI had lived past 1553? How would this affect the reformation and the Church of England? Would he have married a foreign bride or another Tudor claimant? What would have happened to Mary and Elizabeth? Would he have married the widowed Mary Stuart?

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.” –...

Records of King Henry VII's first wife, Madeleine de Velville have been lost to history. Her name is first mentioned in a letter from Jasper Tudor to Margaret Beaufort, alerting her that her seventeen-year-old son has married a Breton heiress by the name of Madeleine (whether she was of gentry...

First, how could that happen? Maybe, the marriage gets consummated a little later so when Margaret gets pregnant it doesn’t do the same harm to her body, and Edmund lives longer because of his better karma? Maybe Henry VII has a twin? Then once we have a larger Tudor family what happens to them?

Despite popular belief, King Henry was not disappointed with the birth of Princess Elizabeth, believing if his wife could have a healthy girl, she could have a healthy boy. However, this did not change the simple fact that in order to to secure her position as Queen, Anne Boleyn desperately...

A big scandal shakes the Tudor court when it is discovered that the Lady Elizabeth has secretly married Sir Robert Dudley. Enraged by his sister marrying without his permission, Edward exiled both the Princess and her new husband to Ireland, swearing he will never speak to either again. To his...
