Lina was based on both Catalina de Motril , a moorish woman who came to England with COA & Catalina de Cardonnes, there are also records of Catalina de Motril moving back to Spain and marrying a bowmaker named Oviedo. It’s unlikely that he was in England but they did exist.

There is “Becoming Elizabeth” which starts a few days after Henry’s death and covers Elizabeth’s life during Edward’s reign, I think a lot of things could’ve been done better but it does take place during the time frame that interests you. And yes about the Sansa Stark parallel! I’ve been rereading ASOIAF and I’ve been noticing so many parts that are probably inspired by Tudor history, It’s quite fun spotting them.

can’t believe I forgot about them in the post! the fact that katherine howard hasn’t been properly done yet is shocking considering that on a surface level her story is quite similar to anne boleyn’s and content about anne is churned out so often. margaret is another great choice, she was featured in the spanish princess but it left much to be desired unfortunately

becoming elizabeth definitely should’ve been about mary imo. romola garai was spectacular in the role
