1519 - Plans and confidences
Margaret, Dowager Queen of Scotland and Duchess of Suffolk was happy to be again in her native country at her brother‘s court and was surprised by how easy had been for her and her second husband adapting to share their time between the Scottish court, the English court and Charles‘ lands as now travelling between them had become a part of their routine: they spent little time in the country as Charles‘ daughters by his previous marriage, the twelve years old Anne and the nine years old Mary were top study abroad, in the Low Countries, at glittering court of the King of Lorraine, who was married to Margaret’s own younger sister, but they were still too young for attracting Mary’s attention, specially considering who her sister’s mental state had not been the best since the miscarriage of her second child, and she truly hoped who the outcome of Mary’s fourth pregnancy, who her sister had announced in her latest letter, would be another healthy child and who her nephews continued to enjoy a very good health as she truly feared the effect who another tragedy (and losing a child, whatever was before, during or after his birth was one of the greatest tragedies for a woman, as she knew far too well, and she would be forever grateful for James‘s love, comfort and affection in that very hard moments who had sadly been a constant in their wedding) could have on her sister‘s mind. As her sister-in-law, Eleanor, had birthed twin sons to her brother Henry, making her younger brother an overjoyed man, at the point who Charles had told her who he do not remembered to have ever seen Henry, his best friend, so happy as he was in this days, Margaret felt comfortable enough to tell her brother and sister-in-law who the Duchess of Albany had told her who her sister, the Queen Regent of France, would be much interested in a match between her young son John III and little Elizabeth of England, two years younger than him. After talking Margaret (and Charles with her) waited for the usual comments from Henry about the eccessive closeness of Scotland with the French court but Henry was likely too over the moon for caring (or had accepted the fact who the Regent of Scotland was both first cousin and brother-in-law of the Queen Regent of France) as he told simply who such match was really interesting for him, and he would like seeing their daughter get the Crown who should have been of her namesake grandmother, if things had gone differently.
Eleanor, luckily, had fully recovered from her pregnancy and childbirth and was fully enjoying all the rewards for having secured the English succession with three healthy boys as her brother looked to have fully forget his first marriage to her aunt and showered Eleanor with compliments and gifts.
After their husbands leaved them Eleanor asked news about Margaret‘s two sons, the seven years old James V, King of Scotland and the five yers old Alexander, Duke of Ross, as they had not been named earlier and she was curious to know about all her nephew and nieces (including the new daughter of the brother who she had never meet, but that mattered little as Henry had already pointed the girl as future bride for his namesake heir since he heard of her birth) and had laughed when Margaret told her who she had persuaded her elder son to write directly to his nine years old fiancée, Renée of France, instead of continuing to ask her news at the arrival of any letter from France and she had few doubt about the results as Anne of Albany had assured her who her sister Madeleine was likewise questioned about James by her stepdaughter. Then Margaret added who she do not expected to have the same kind of troubles with Alexander as actually the plan was to marry him to the two years old Madeleine of Albany, if she remained, as was sadly likely, the only child of her parents. Eleanor told her sister-in-law who she could understand well the sentiment as she was sure who Henry had already started to keep trace of all the possible English heiresses of a certain relevance since just after the birth of the twins, then started to involve Margaret (and through her also Suffolk) in her plan to secure the happiness of her favourite maid of honour, something to which Margaret agreed as was profoundly unjust who the young lady Anne Boleyn had to suffer the consequence of her sister’s loose moral.

Ah, very neat, a sort of rapprochement between England and France in the form of such a match may keep the peace in Europe for a time, or at least drive a wedge in the Auld Alliance...
I would say who Scotland would benefit a lot from a better relationship between England and France. And John instead of Francis as King of France plus the different split of lands between the Habsburg brothers is doing a lot for preserving peace in Europe.
Yes, naaww is my general noise for 'it's adorable 😻 ' Renee is particularly pretty 😍
