TUDOR WEEK 2024 Day 3 - Wednesday, 16th of October: Best Tudor What If?

What if Arthur survived his illness and ascended to the throne as King Arthur II?

Rather than dying young, Arthur survived the sweating sickness and continued his life with Katherine of Aragon in Wales. In the seven years that followed, they had two surviving children together, Margret (named for Margaret Pole as well as the prince's grandmother and sister) and Arthur. So as he ascended the throne in 1509 at the age of 22, he already had an heir to continue the Tudor line.

Could you do part 2 where Sultan reader sends all his Concubines or wives away to keep Anna/Catherine happy?

Hello. I hope you like it.

》Part 2《

Catherine was a patient and intelligent woman. First, she made her husband look after her alone. In other words, a new woman was no longer entering the Sultan's life. Later, she started sending concubines and wives (childless) to her palace. After getting rid of them, it was time to send away the wives and concubines who had children from the Sultan. She sent the legal wives first and then the concubines.

Anne was not very patient. But that doesn't mean she isn't cunning. First, she started to prevent other women from getting close to the Sultan. She later caused the Sultan to turn away from the women was with. She sent them all away from the Palace in a short time.

Thanks @hilda-dewitt for this great piece of work depicting Louis I of Anjou and Marie of Blois, great-grandparents of Margaret of Anjou. Louis I of Anjou was the founder of the Angevin cadet branch of the House of Valois, and Marie of Blois was the first of a series of powerful women in the House of Valois-Anjou.

I really found their story to be full of fun and drama. After King John II of France was taken prisoner in the Battle of Poitiers, Louis broke the Aragonese marriage contract arranged by his father to marry Marie, the daughter of one major claimant to the ducal throne of Brittany, neighboring his appanage of Anjou. His desire to meet his wife pushed him to end his hostage career in England prematurely on his own, and more or less led to the decision of John II to return to captivity, lol. While Marie's father fell in battle six months after John the Good's death in London, the couple remained close and intimate throughout their lives. Louis served as a leading military commander in his elder brother Charles V's reconquest of southwestern France during the second phase of the Hundred Years' War. He was also a loyal friend and protector of Bertrand du Guesclin, who fought for Marie's father before entering service for the Valois. However, due to his role in the 1378 tax revolts and his overambitious claim to the throne of Naples, Louis remained a controversial figure in France, and his past accomplishments were little appreciated. After Louis's death in the unsuccessful march to Naples, Marie continued their quest for the Neapolitan crown, and, after a tough fight against opposing claimants, secured for their seven-year-old son Louis II the County of Provence, which was in a personal union with the Kingdom of Naples. She acted as regent for Louis II during his minority, and arranged the marriage between him and Yolande of Aragon.

in the honor of england's first queen regnant's coronation anniversary, enjoy her and her mastermind mother<3

Mary’s relationship with her mother is key, and Katherine must be understood not as a weak, rejected wife but as a strong, highly accomplished, and defiant woman who withstood the attempts of her husband, Henry VIII, to browbeat her into submission and was determined to defend the legitimacy of her marriage and of her daughter’s birth.

A happier life for Henry VIII's children. Part: 1.

Mary was the first surviving child of King Henry VIII of England from his first marriage to the Spanish princess Catherine of Aragon. The princess knew that she was not her parents' only child - all of her siblings died shortly after birth. The birth of a living and healthy child was a great happiness for King Henry and Queen Catherine, even though the child was a girl. That is why she became the king's favorite daughter. When she was 12 years old, her father decided to divorce her mother. Catherine did not resist the king's decision for a long time, but accepted the inevitable and agreed to the divorce with favorable terms. For this, the king, as promised, retained for Mary the status of princess and allowed the former spouse to communicate with his daughter. After the divorce for Mary little changed, she continued to grow up in the love of her father and mother, often visited both parents. The princess did not like her father's second wife, but did not show it. Anne Boleyn did not meet Henry's expectations, so he sent her to a convent under strict supervision. The king also wanted to declare Princess Elizabeth illegitimate, but Mary stood up for her sister and convinced her father not to do so. Soon the king married Jane Seymour, and a year after the wedding she gave him a long-awaited son, whom the happy father named Edward. In honor of this joyous event, Henry organized a grand feast that lasted for a whole week. In the same year, Princess Mary married Prince Henry, heir to the French throne. Before meeting his future wife, the dauphin had a love affair with Diana de Poitiers, but when he first saw his betrothed, he fell madly in love with her. Henry immediately severed all ties with Diana and was faithful to his wife until his death. The marriage of Mary and Henry turned out to be very happy. They had five children:

Francis II of France(1538 - 1604). Nicknamed "The Peacemaker" for the foreign policy calm during his reign. During his reign, France did not wage a single war. Husband of Helena of Austria, they had a good relationship. In marriage 7 children were born: Mary, Louis XIII, Anne, Henry, Christina, Philip, Gaston.

Claude of France(1541 - 1600). Queen of Spain. In 1556 she became the wife of Philip II. The spouses loved each other despite the big difference in age. They had 5 children: Philip III, Isabella, Joanna, Ferdinand, Diego.

Henry of France(1541 - 1589). Duke of Orleans. Was a favorite son for his mother, as from a young age showed a keen interest in religion. And when he became older he decided to devote his life to the service of God. He was not married and had no children.

Catherine of France(1544 - 1615). Archduchess of Austria. Favorite sister of Francis II. Was the second wife of Ferdinand II of Austria. The spouses did not love each other, but respected each other. In marriage 3 daughters were born: Anne, Mary, Eleanor. After the death of her husband returned to her homeland.

Charles of France(1546 - 1620). Duke of Angoulême. Because of his dissolute lifestyle he had conflicts with his mother. He married his cousin Jane, daughter of King Edward VI of England. The married life of Charles and Jane was not happy, because of his constant cheating. The marriage produced 4 children: Gedeon, Charlotte, Michelle and Cesar.

While in France, she did not forget about her family and maintained a close correspondence not only with her parents, but also with her second stepmother, because of the warm and close relationship between them. Before leaving, Mary and Jane had great difficulty convincing the king to bring Elizabeth to the palace so that she would not feel lonely. Henry initially had no paternal feelings for his second daughter, but was later able to develop a warmth for the girl. In 1540, Dauphine learned that her mother had died. She could not come to her funeral, as she was pregnant with her second child, but due to severe stress she had a miscarriage. Because of these events, the princess fell into depression, she did not leave her chambers and hardly ate anything. Her husband was with her all this time and provided as much support as possible, but when he realized that he could not cope, he invited Jane to help. She couldn't stay away and convinced Henry to let her go to Mary. After a few months, Mary recovered and all three returned to England. The king greeted his wife, daughter and son-in-law warmly. And the princess was finally able to honor her mother. She also spent time with her brother and sister because she missed them during the 6 years of absence. When Mary returned to France, she was already pregnant with her third child, and nine months later she gave birth to twins. Five years passed.During this time, Mary and Henry became king and queen of France and had two more children. They successfully ruled the kingdom. Shortly before his death, Henry 8 appointed his eldest daughter as regent under his young son. The queen excelled in her duties as regent and pursued a mild policy toward her subjects. When she realized that Edward was already capable of ruling on his own, she placed the power in his hands and returned to France. In 1559, King Henry of France fell from his horse while hunting and died. Mary mourned the death of her beloved husband for a long time and wore mourning for him for the rest of her life. She warmly remembered the 22 happy years they gave to each other and loved to tell her grandchildren about it. Mary often came to visit her brother, and the two developed a warm relationship. The dowager queen of France died in 1580. She was buried next to her husband Henry II in the Abbey of Saint-Denis.

"Many scholars have highlighted the fevered debate over Catherine of Aragon's virginity during the 'Great Matter.' Yet her body, and its sexual and reproductive history, was the subject of public discussion from the moment she arrived in England at the age of fifteen. Between 1509 and 1518, geopolitical tension exaggerated this discourse regarding the state of her body and its relationship to England's political potency. By the 1520s, Henry VIII's progressive obsession with the need for a male heir had also amplified these associations. Catherine's experiences as a procreating queen consort consequently influenced the ways in which her contemporaries scrutinized and politicized royal pregnancies within the framework of European politics."

Jane, showing a new app: It shows me your exact locations, which means I no longer have to worry about unclear directions from a certain person.

Everyone: looks at Anne

Anne: What? I was very clear. I said to meet by the tree.

Kat: Which tree, Anne? We were in the forest!

How would Catherine or Anna boleyn feel when the reader given birth to healthy triplets (2 boys and 1 girl) after she had Elizabeth also what yandere henry reaction to finally having the son he wanted???

Old Catherine is too smart to react too strongly. She feels disappointed and resentful. She is very afraid for his daughter Mary. She's worried about her daughter's throne. She prays that her daughter is not harmed and that she can ascend the throne.

Anne tried to get rid of the reader at first. She has endeavored to eliminate reader and babies without giving birth to babies. She will be very angry. She was jealous of your reader, but now she's too jealous. She will try to do something to get rid of the reader and the babies. But Henry will fail because he is too protective of the reader and his babies. They will soon be executed for their actions.

Henry was frustrated after Elizabeth's birth. Anne became pregnant again but gave birth to a stillborn son. This had exhausted Henry's patience. He was both angry and very angry. He finds happiness in the reader in a short time. Henry makes your reader her legitimate mistress. Henry is overjoyed when the reader becomes pregnant. He protects and cares for your reader throughout her pregnancy. He is very happy and proud when his healthy triplets are born. He had never been this happy in his life now that he had male heirs. He tells the reader how he is proud of her and loves his. He will marry the reader. He will declare the triplets heirs to the throne. No one can stop Henry.
