Talk:Mary I of England

"When Philip's Armada conquered England in 1588, Philip used his former marriage to Mary and the status of King of England it had briefly bestowed on him to install his daughter, Isabella, as Queen of England."

Is this right? Now that I think of it, I believe they used a claim by blood, not by marriage: Isabella was Mary's distant cousin, but not so distant that she was not among her closest kinsfolk on her mother's side. On her father's side it was all morganic marriages or, in the case of the Duke of Richmond and Somerset, no marriages at all. Well Henry did have the two sisters, but they were all Protestant-ish so they wouldn't do for Philip either. Turtle Fan 16:05, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
