    Possible Marriage Partners for Philip II of Spain

    Does Philip have a second/third son and/or grandsons at this point? Because if so he may stay single until better options come about. If not, maybe Infanta Maria of Guimarães? She feels like a safe choice. Anne of England really depends on who her mother is.

    List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage II

    To be fair, that isn't really a great assessment as: Joanna of Aragon and Castile lost her husband in her 20s, so we don't know when she would have stopped having children. Maria of Aragon and Castile died in her mid-thirties, so we don't now when she would have stopped having children...

    List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage II

    I honestly can't remember my exact intentions, but I assume Richard, Duke of York and Norfolk ascends as King Richard III in 1518 and I just forgot to update it as I played around with everything. As for Iberia, I assume the lack fo Philip of Burgundy leaves Joanna free to marry Manuel in...

    Threadmarks: #20 More Kitty and Cromwell

    Henry lay next to his favourite girl in the world and felt content. It wasn’t just that Kitty Howard was a beautiful ornament to the court. There were dozens of beauties amongst the maids of his court. But Kitty made him feel…big. Strong. Like a virile and healthy man. Laying next to her, his...

    Thomas Cromwell had practically dragged the Lady Elizabeth out of her bed himself to have her join the Saxon party on their way out of England and onto their ships.
