she will marry but unless she fully repent she could get a rather low match for the eldest daughter of the King of England She was rather stupid, trust me… The only change in her life was her mother abandoning her more than a a year earlier for her own choice… Henry’s annulment here was a quick...

She is young and stupid and unluckily she had taken the worst of both her parents’ temperaments… Hopefully here she will be able to accept the reality…

Eh, poor Mary is in big troubles and the worst part of it is who here she is unable to lie to herself and blame her new stepmother for her misfortunes as she had been able to see the difference between Renee‘s indulgence and sympathy and her father’s rage. Likely the worst part for Mary is...

I hope you all will like this new update, who had taken a rather unexpected direction and also is the 250th message on the thread. England will not be the focus of the TL but I think who Renée will continue to get her space (likely more than Isabella of Austria, who will have few chapters).

Renée, Queen of England was without doubt happy: only few months of marriage and she was already pregnant, hopefully with a future Prince of Wales, and that had reinforced her marriage as Henry had obviously been overjoyed to hear the news. The only shadow was the fact who, without any input...

I think you will need a longer living Drusus or Agrippa for preventing the problem with Tiberius. Him dying in exile would be of little use (unless that is earlier enough to allo Julia to remarry as she wanted or at least prevent her scandal and exile). If you simply do not want Tiberius as...

that explain everything then No idea. He will marry someone, likely another well connected girl, but I have no idea of who she could be

You need to keep the FRENCH out of Italy NOT the Habsburg. If Ferdinand II of Naples lived and had children by his half-aunt Joanna, Ferdinand II of Aragon will not try again to take Naples and if Ludovico il Moro and his male line survive and continue to rule Milan, the Emperor will have no...

OTL Pauline and other Bonapartes proposed Filistine as replacement bride for Napoleon, but he was absolutely not interested. I can not see Lucien‘s daughter being involved in Napoleon’s matrimonial politics as they (or at least Filistine) OTL refuted to be married off. That is the reason for...

The fact who OTL they had a son (who died young), maybe? She had no child by Borghese but Leclerc was a different thing

You will do better in giving a second surviving son to Charles V… or a son to Philip II and Mary Tudor with don Carlos leaving heirs… but Maria could get the Low Countries if Mary Tudor never became Queen of England and Philip remarried to Maria of Viseu

That would be interesting

Not really. Charles can not blamed too much for something who happened outside his control and was impossible to stop after the defenders killed the enemy commander. I do not think who Charles would suffer a worst black lash than the OTL one and Francis well would need to be much careful about...

That could not work in Europe. And Charles had no interest in keeping permanently the boys as hostages.

No, because Francis had already accepted that eventuality as Henry could not return in France before his father’s fulfilled ALL the conditions of the agreement for which Henry was left as guaranty. The point is who OTL Francis cared NOTHING for the fate of his son(s) but the boy(s) choose to...
