Its 1532. The UK splits with Europe over Papal authority. Disaster. The UK will never be the same again. For the last ~500 years the UK has been a 3rd world country.

England didn't become an advanced country until it formed a union with Scotland.

And success after the Portugal Alliance.

I think the Tudors would disagree.

Yes but Tudor England looked a bit pathetic compared to the continental empires led by Portugal and Spain as they dominated colonisation of the Americas.

Adding a Northern leper colony didn't do us any favours

Are the same Tudors from a TV series with dubious facts where the King of Portugal shows up with a big nose, unkempt with no teeth.?
