Tudor Line

Tudor line is an alternative history in which Henry, one of the son of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon who died young survives. This history changes some details, but in the early times it is like our timeline and it's likely that the survival of Henry would change interactions and some children would probably not been born (ripples in history would certainly change children born 15 years later), but for simplicity ...
