Anne Boleyn and Henry Percy in Fanfiction: Alternative Histories
In some fanfiction, Anne Boleyn and Henry Percy's relationship could be the starting point of a new Tudor dynasty. If they had been allowed to marry, their descendants might have ruled England in a very different way. This could involve different religious policies, for example, as Anne was known to be involved in religious reforms. Their union could have led to a more stable and less controversial religious transition in England.

Is alternative history books called historical fiction?
In a way, yes. Alternative history books are often considered a subset of historical fiction.
