Catherine of Medici’s marriage matches
As the marriage between Don Carlos and Elizabeth of France happened the match between her daughter Claude of France and Duke Henry II of Lorraine would be dashed as Henry II had married Infanta Maria of Portugal as the Portuguese Regent would consent to a marriage match between Infanta Maria and Henry II to maintain the alliance between Lorraine and the Habsburgs when Claude of France reached her 20th birthday, Catherine would have married her to the young Henry of Navarre who would be sent to fostering with Catherine of Medici, the match would result in two surviving children, Louis XII(February 27, 1670), and Isabella of Navarre(October 9, 1573).
Catherine of Medici’s third daughter, Margaret of France would be sent to a convent after her fiance, Sebastian of Portugal had died.
Mary, Queen of Scots would give birth to a daughter named Catherine of France(January 2, 1560), although her marriage with Francis II would end in 1562 due to his early death, his brothers would marry Austrian Archduchesses - Archduchess Anna, the wife of Charles IX and Elizabeth, the wife of Henry III, however, the marriage of Archduchess Anna and Charles IX would have a daughter, Marie Elizabeth of France(October 27, 1573).
Catherine of Medici and Mary, Queen of Scots would have Catherine of France, the daughter of Mary Queen of Scots marry Felipe, the son of Charles I of Portugal in 1580, at the same time as they arranged the betrothal of Infanta Maria Clara Eugenia and James VI of Scotland which improves English-Spanish relations in the long term.

Portuguese and Spanish Colonization
In 1575, the Portuguese would secure ports in Ternate due to the Portuguese merchants being more in peace with the Ternateans and the Portuguese would have more riches in Ternate creating more ports in Maluku and also in Sulawesi and the Sangihe archipelago, the Sangihe Archipelago would be Christianized by the Portuguese, on 1581, Juan de Salcedo would arrive in Ternate and he would later marry a woman in Manila named Kandarapa, a widowed niece of Sultan Sulayman.
Salcedo would settle in Ternate with Kandarapa of Tondo, the Portuguese would establish their own settlements in the City of Maynila which was a concession with the Bruneian Empire.
In 1599, after the death of Philip II, under Philip III of Spain, the Portuguese and Spanish would establish the Manila-Alcapulco trade in Manila due to the concessions with Brunei, the Spanish would ignore the Sultanate of Selurong in the North which has gained control over the Kingdom of Kaboloan due to relations which are still close with the Japanese in contrast with the Bruneians who have some relations with the Portuguese crown although the Sultanate of Selurong is under Bruneian Influence, the Manila-Alcapulco trade would enrich the Bruneians, Spanish and the New Spain.
Only the English and the French would want to covet the new United Iberian Empire which began under Philip III of Spain, there would be extensive trade on the Portuguese territories and Concessions in the Bruneian Empire and New Spain which would create the Manila-Acapulco trade.

Split of Netherlands from Spain
In 1588, Philip II would send the ten-year-old Philip of Spain to rule the Netherlands and Burgundy as Philip V of Burgundy, the 10 years Philip V would rule the Netherlands as a country that would be neutral in religion, as this would end the Netherlands revolt.
The Lowlands would be in peace with the Spanish due to Burgundy being split from Spain and it would have its own rulers which would have pleased the Protestants, Netherlands would be one of the entrances of Trade in the Holy Roman Empire from England which would make the Holy Roman Empire rich in trade due to the Netherlands being rich in trade with Europe and the New World.

Colonization of Sugbu and Butuan
In 1570, the Portuguese under Charles I of Portugal would take over the lands that were lapsed from Spain in Sugbu and Butuan that Magellan has explored before and had made loyal subjects.
The Portuguese would send their own missionaries and started to build churches in Sugbu and Butuan, although the Bruneians would not contest that as Sugbu was not conquered by the Bruneians, although the Neighboring polity of Madya-as would have begun it being dominated by the Bruneians economically and were being infiltrated by the Bruneians, the Island of Mactan would be a Bruneian enclave due to it under Bruneian influence and was ruled by the Muslim Lapu Lapu creating a Muslim enclave on a majority Christian land.
The Bruneians would allow Sugbu and Butuan to be annexed by the Portuguese as the Portuguese would not annex any of their tributary and appanage states of the Bruneians which the Portuguese would do.

What's so 'humane' about it? The Spanish don't engage in more genocide and conquests in my timeline and share more power and land with the Portuguese. |
