Two marriages
On 1504, the betrothal of Miguel da Paz of Portugal with Madeleine of Navarre, the daughter of Catherine of Navarre would be confirmed by Louis XII and increased her dowry in order to create peace between France and England avoiding another war between the Spains and France due to Italy, the two would marry on 1512, the marriage also advanced peace between Ferdinand of Aragon and Catherine of Foix, Queen of Navarre, his mother, Isabella of Aragon, Princess of Asturias has been rendered sterile due to circumstances surrounding his own birth, so the late Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon would be very much careful of handling him and took care of him.[1]
On 1512, a betrothal between Henry, Prince of Navarre and Catherine of England, the Younger sister of Henry VIII was made in order to advance the peace between England and France and also to split the Navarrese and French away as an advice of Catherine of Aragon to her husband as Archduke Charles abandoned his betrothal to Catherine of England in favor of Anne of Bohemia due to Maximilian wanting such marriage due to the heiress of Bohemia, Navarre would remain neutral until the ascension of Francis II of France[2](the husband of Joanna III of Navarre, the daughter of Catherine of England and Henry II of Navarre) from the Bourbon Dynasty.

Sack of Malacca and colonization of the East
On 1511, Manuel I’s troops would have captured Malacca, he is happy as both the King of Castile and Portugal as both the Castilian and Portuguese armies joined the fight and established the Portuguese presence in the East so that they can trade with the Chinese and join the Spice and Western trade, he would ally with the Kingdom of Sunda and the last Majapahit Emperor Brawijaya VII who would correspond with him but Brawijaya and the Kingdom of Sunda will be taken over by Muslims but they would be able to colonize the Spice Islands and the Lesser Sundas.
The Portuguese would also establish Macao in 1513 which will be a conduit to China for the Spice to the Spice trade which is produced in the Spice trade and later the Missionaries from Portugal who would go to China and Japan in 1540.
Inheriting the new world
In 1492, the Castilian crown would discover the Caribbean Islands by the explorer Christopher Columbus and Portugal under Manuel I would discover Brasil by the explorer Pedro Alvarez-Cabral, the two discoveries would give Manuel I the riches of the new world when his Mother in law, Isabel of Castile died in 1504, he would bask in the glory of the riches and the bases that he would have in the new world and his Empire in the Eastern Hemisphere with the African and Indian bases would have given him enough riches and bases that he is happy about the inheritance of the two kingdoms.
The new world inheritance by his wife and the Old world colonies of his wife would overwhelm him in 1504 and he was very happy that Iberia and its colonies would be united.
His son would enjoy the monopoly of the Empire in the New world would have, however, the Portuguese inheritance of Spain would put to stop the efforts of Columbus to establish a route to the East which would mean that the Spanish Empire would not be able to exploit the Pacific.
Cortes was able to conquer Mexico in 1519-1521 and the Kingdom of Portugal would now have access to Castilian colonies western possessions so there was no need for them to find another way to monopolize the trade of spices as they have already monopolized it.[1]
“On 1513, the Ternatean wife of Fernão Magalhães gives birth to a healthy son, and he would be one of main early Portuguese colonists of Ternate.”
Anonymous chronicler
1. The Portuguese inheritance of Castile and Aragon would easily be able to butterfly Pizarro's conquests but they would still have access to Inca trade via Colombia and Magellan's expedition is completely butterflied as well, I think the Incas could end up as a vassal state like Congo in this scenario.

The three last Marriages arranged by the Catholic monarchs
On the arrival of Infanta Maria, she would be greeted by the courtiers of James IV of Scotland in 1500 and she would be happy about the marriage with James IV of Scotland, that the two would have the following children; James, Duke of Rothesay(February 21, 1503), Beatrice of Scotland(July 28, 1504), John(October 20, 1505), Isabella(November 10, 1506), Alexander(June 4, 1510).
The arrival of Madeleine of Navarre in Lisbon would be celebrated in 1512 and Ferdinand II would be delighted on the possible inheritance of Navarre, but Henry II of Navarre would survive and marry Catherine of England, Madeleine of Navarre would have children namely, Catherine of Spain(May 2, 1514), John of Spain(December 10, 1518), Eleanor of Spain(May 2, 1520) and Manuel of Spain(June 4, 1522).
On 1516, Mary Tudor, Princess of England was born and after that, Catherine of Aragon would not carry another pregnancy that would survive and thus Henry VIII would have an annulment in 1528, which both Maximilian I and Philip IV of Burgundy would support seeing what an unhappy union would bring due to Maximilian’s marriage to Bianca Maria Sforza, although the Spanish monarchs and the children of Philip IV of Burgundy are against the divorce and Henry VIII would marry Anne Boleyn which would also fail to give him a surviving son, on 1530, Henry would have Mary Tudor marry John of Spain and exile his ex-wife Catherine to Spain as well.

Italian Wars
The French would win in the battle of Cerignola in 1503, the victory of the French in the battle of Cerignola would mean that the French would bask in victory and force the Spanish to withdraw from Italy altogether and the French would force the Spanish to have a marriage treaty on the dowry of Madeleine of Navarre in the Treaty of Blois which would be increased by the French and avoided another war with the Spanish.
On 1507, Joanna of Aragon would die and Philip II would remarry to Margaret Tudor who is just 18 at that time and the Austrians and the English would declare a war with the French regarding Lombardy and the further expansion of the Duchy of Calais and the Venetians regarding parts of the Venetian litoral, the French would be defeated in the Battle of Milan in 1508 which would restore the Illegitimate Neapolitan Trastamaras and the Sforzas in Milan in the long term and given the Duchy of Friuli to the Habsburgs and secured the Duchy of Friuli to the Habsburgs, the other part of the alliance between the Habsburgs and the Tudors would be the marriage between the Catherine of England and Charles of Austria but Maximilian would rather choose a marriage between Anne of Bohemia and Charles in 1507 after the marriage with Margaret Tudor and Maximilian never wanted the marriage and thus Catherine Tudor is now betrothed to Henry II of Navarre in 1512 as a proxy bride for the Spanish as Madeleine and Miguel are married which would end celebrated on 1516.
The Neapolitan Trastamaras would marry Bona Sforza to the Duke of Milan, Maximilian Sforza in 1512 and the French under Francis II would choose Catherine of Navarre the sister of the future Spanish Queen as the Bride of Polish Sigismund the Old in 1515 after the death of Barbara Zapolya on 1515 which would mean that she would leave the nunnery and marry Sigismund the Old on 1516 when the treaty between France and Poland was signed.

Luçoes
On 1511, the Luçoes would be encountered by the Portuguese on their successful sack of Malacca and were part of the armies that they defeated and they would not know their own origin until it was later revealed that it was from the Bruneian Empire which was in its infancy back then and their homeland would be known to the Spanish in the 1570s to 1580s when they are disrupting trade lines between Spain, China and Japan.
By the 1570s-1580s in the reign of John III of Spain, the son of Madeleine and Miguel I of Spain the Portuguese would have some trouble from pirates and Japanese Pirates from the Bruneian Empire, satellites like Bruneian Sultanate of Tondo and its tributary states like the Sultanate of Selurong(Caboloan and Macabebe)(Both Selurong and Tondo would carry the same name of Selurong like Naples and Trianacria are called as Sicily due to the sack of Tondo by Bolkiah but the Spanish, the Castilians and Portuguese would call them as the Tagalas, due to the title of the Two Kingdoms or Luçon) and Maguindanao Sultanate seizing the Spice Trade which is now controlled by Portugal which would be one of the issues of the Portuguese and the Spanish Empire in East Asia.
