User:Red VS Blue/Ideas

This page is just for me to write down any althistory ideas that I come up with, and I don't necessarily ever intend to make them. Anything is just so I don't forget it. You're free to use any of these ideas, but I only request that you ask me first, since one or two that I'll have up I intend to make in the foreseeable future.

Tudor Rose
POD: Henry Tudor the Younger (OTL Henry VIII), contracts tuberculosis from his brother Arthur and himself dies only a year later (2 September 1503). This leaves the heir apparent to the English throne Margaret, Queen of Scots and consort to James IV of Scotland.

Consequences

 * James IV becomes King James I of England in 1509 after the death of Henry VII, affairs go almost exactly the same way as when OTL James I succeeded Elizabeth Tudor
 * James I/IV publicly attacks the works of Martin Luther, earning the crown the title of "Defender of the Fair" from Pope Leo X
 * There will be no English or Scottish Reformation, the latter is prevented by strong Papal support for the country and a mixing of English Catholics with the Scottish Protestants
 * England and Scotland are much richer than OTL 1500's because Henry VIII wasn't spending all of his father's money and not as much money or soldiers were being lost in expensive and futile wars
 * Ireland is more easily brought under English/Scottish control on account of them being Catholic and having a more powerful army to control matters
 * More French convert to Calvinism and other Protestant sects as hatred for English and Habsburg Catholics is much greater among the French people. This leads to a French Reformation in the late 1500's
