Imagine if King Henry the Seventh was married before he pledged to marry Elizabeth of York. In 1475, He was married to Princess Anne, Niece of the King of France in order to secure a French alliance and in 1479, they had a daughter, who was named after her mother, but in the next year, Anne would die, leaving Henry a widow and the little one year old, without a mother. In 1483, Henry promised to marry Elizabeth of York to secure the crown. But when he took the crown his daughter became the Princess and heir to the throne until Prince Arthur was born.
