Awesome.
 
I have bad memories on characters joining the Church so I avoid it.

I can understand it, but for the Habsburgs or any Catholic dynasty ( whether self-respecting or sane ) it was a normal practice, indeed it was encouraged for minor children ( so that they could have important career prospects, which they would not have could have in other ways, it also made it possible not to have to divide the dynastic possessions among all the brothers, a practice which instead weakened family power ) finally for the HRE system, to have brothers who can aspire to manage the 3 ecclesiastical electorates or at least other dioceses important can greatly facilitate imperial rule by the main heir, so it's almost madness to imagine that Max and Maria would allow such a thing ( i.e. that not even one of their younger children in church )

I'm sorry Eli, don't be mean to me okay ?

uh...dumb question, but why does Ned (and his daughters) get domestic matches? Ned would be thirteen when his niece is born, 15yo when Katherine's last child is a stillborn daughter. Feel like he'd get at least a second tier foreign match instead of a domestic heiress. Also, I doubt Henry VIII marries Jane Seymour if there was no Anne Boleyn (who I don't see being made marchioness of Pembroke TTL) to lead the way.

Edward marries first to a rich heiress who dies young, then he makes a dramatic love match when Anne returns to England. His daughters aren't princesses, I don't think, so I don't see how they'd get foreign princes...

The d'Auvergne sisters are a little too old, Isabella of Navarre is a little young

Uh, he doesn't. The Jane here is the niece of OTL Queen Jane Seymour.

Henry VIII did a favor for his brother like how he did one for his sister. Their spouses get titles that way

They could serve as proxy matches, like how minor French princesses did.

I know that. But Jane Seymour isn't getting near the royal bed. Henry remarries here, it'll be to a princess
The d'Auvergne sisters are a little too old, Isabella of Navarre is a little young
because those are the only second tier princesses available? Suzanne de Bourbon-Montpensier, Anne/Catherine de Laval, Susanne of Bavaria, Isabella of Naples (b.1499/1500), Beatriz of Portugal (not second tier, but a match with an English second son would be better than a duke whose duchy was occupied by the French), not to mention the chance of any of René II of Lorraine or the duc de Longueville's daughters (b. 1502 and b.1508 respectively) surviving infancy.

Henry VIII did a favor for his brother like how he did one for his sister. Their spouses get titles that way
what favour did he do for his sister? Charles Brandon was created duke of Suffolk on 1 February 1514, Mary Tudor married Louis XII in August/October 1514. Why would he award the Pembroke title (which was left to Henry personally by his uncle Jasper) for his brother?

Fair. I don't think he'll be getting great matches as dowager king consort, especially if he had sons with Mary (I'm debating on that one), but I suppose an archduchess would work
what favour did he do for his sister?
Not throw Brandon in prison after stripping away the dukedom (he did very technically commit treason) like the privy council wanted?
Beatriz of Portugal (not second tier, but a match with an English second son would be better than a duke whose duchy was occupied by the French)
I don't think Savoy was occupied when Beatrice married, to be fair
why would he? He's next in line to the throne anyway?
I was genuinely working off of OTL, where Philip II of Spain was jure uxoris king and lost all power upon Mary's death. I suppose I could justify it by a Mary/Darnley analogue, but maybe I'll just let Henry IX keep his titles and power

Phillip didn't have a blood claim to the English throne, but Henry IX would. After Mary's death, he'd be the senior claimant.

I suppose so. In my draft their relationship is quite like OTL MQOS/Darnley...strong claimants marrying each other and then realizing they have nothing in common. MQOS wouldn't give Darnley the crown matrimonial for that reason. Then again, England doesn't have that...
