![]() ![]() She winds up married to James of Scotland with her younger sister becoming queen of England (can't remember what happened to Margaret Tudor). I wonder if one of the younger girls might be offered as a replacement wife for Vladislaus of Bohemia? In a TL (can't remember where I saw it, sorry) where both her brother and eldest sister survive, Maria of Aragon gets courted by him and Christian II of Denmark. Charlotte who's only half, plus married to a Frenchman), it could be one way of providing for a younger son who otherwise would have limited prospects. However, if a younger son were to marry say, Giulia, and successfully claim Naples through her (let the duke of Calabria meet the same fate as his brothers - dying young) by proximity of blood (she's full sister of Ferrante vs. But also, Fernando's pre-requisite for his daughters wedding to either Naples or Navarre was that the prince be able to hang onto his crown. I think a Navarrese match sort of pales against the possibility of an Austrian/Imperial match. Naples can offer the two daughters of their OTL last king from his second wife: Julia (b 1492) and Isabella (b 1500) as their half sister Charlotte is born in 1480Įngland: all the York girls here are too old but the daughters of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York are of the right age: Margaret (b 1489), Elizabeth Tudor (b 1492) and Mary (b 1496) Navarre can offer Anne of Foix-Candale (b 1484) or Germaine of Foix (b 1488) or one of the many daughters of Queen Catherine Anne (b 1492), Magdalena (b 1494), Catherine (b 1495), Joan (b 1496), Quiteria (b 1499) or Isabella (b 1513/1514) Magaret of Austria-Burgundy is born in 1480 so is a little too old here (but if her mother survive until 1490-1492, Margaret will be married in France but can have an ATL younger sister Mary/Isabelle/Eleanor born in the years between 1483-1492 available for Enrique) Leonor looks too young for either but of the perfect age for being engaged to Arthur Tudor (b 1486) then married to Henry Tudor (b 1491) or can be married to Ferdinand, Duke of Calabria (b 1488). 1478) (maybe Mary of Burgundy can live longer and Anne of Brittany being luckier than OTL so Anne can escape the French and be married to Philip who is only a year younger than her) More like rebellious subjects who didn't know their place.Īs to kids, I was wondering if Juana can at least have more than one son (WITHOUT Spain being split into Aragon and Castile once the respective parents die).ĮDIT: Just remembered who the third of the Isabelline trinity of clerics was: Torquemada, head of the Inquisition Ximines, archbishop of Toledo and Talavera, her confessor and 1e archbishop of GranadaĬlick to expand.Some wedding suggestions for them:įor Maria either Portugal as bride of Alfonso of Portugal (b 1475) or Austria-Burgundy as bride of Philip (b. La Beltraneja's not necessarily going to see it like that. Isabel also apparently saw this laxity as why God allowed her brother to suffer rebellions and an unfaithful wife etc. The sort of rigorous (almost severe) Catholicism we associate with Spain is also more after Isabel's model (the woman had Torquemada as her confessor and Ximenes was another pet cleric (there was a third guy too (ICR who), I think, Isabel offered him a bishopric and he refused it, saying he would accept no bishopric but Granada)) that got applied top-down. One thing I feel confident about is that Juana will try to thread the needle between proving to the doubters that she's her (purported) father's daughter by honoring him and continuing some policies without making too much noise about it so people will forget there ever was a rumor.įrom what I've read about Enrique's court, it seems that it was far more morally/religiously loose than Isabel's was., for instance, Enrique had a Moorish bodyguard (although under outside pressure he later disbanded it), which would have shocked Isabel's court. I'm less sure as to how Juana ends up ruling, but I'm about to start reading a biography about Isabella so maybe I'll get some insight there. We can still get a Habsburg connection by marrying the eldest surviving daughter Maria off to Philip the fair (or an ATL counterpart). ITTL Spain will (likely) have a ruler who is solely focused on Spain rather than Charles V who was splitting his attention between Spain, Burgundy, and the HRE, however, they also won't have the perks of the King being the Emperor. Let's say they marry in 1475 (when Juana married the King of Portugal IOTL) use this potential list with bold surviving childhood A lot will depend on whether the union produces surviving heirs, particularly male heirs.
