I have a weird game as super-easy Spain. It's 1527 and the Reformation happened several years ago but there is still no Treaty of Tordesillas. What determines when the treaty starts?

O.K. I finally figured out how to use the Search function (it uses a different syntax than what I'm used to) and I found one thread about this, but no specifics. I'm just worried that my game is screwed up since I never played Spain before. The Reformation occured really early (and it took many years before anyone started converting) - the rulebook says that it can't occur before 1517 and I suppose that's about the time it occured. Does the Jean Calvin event percentage increase by 1% each year? If that's the case then wouldn't a 10% chance mean that the Reformation occured 10 years ago? Historically the Treaty occured in 1494 so it's 33 years overdue...
Normally I have it at the right time but in one game it didn't happen at all (imagine a French Argentina 
) and in my current game it took till after the Reformation in 1520.

I don't know what determines when the treaty starts, but it varies. I have had it as Portugal in the 1520s, earlier for other nations.
Side note - I tried playing the Inca for fun. Got a random event that Cuzco had become Catholic (good missionaries, I guess). So I edited the save file, changed my religion to Catholic, started actually researching tech, and changed my pagan provinces to Catholic by the random colonists I received. The Pope must have been pleased.
Then the Treaty kicked in. All my provinces had Spanish shields on them, and they were just waltzing in and taking them without a DOW. I imagine the Incan emperor was quite pissed off that he had converted....

I had mine around 1495 in my current game as a direct result of my colonisation of Qatar. I thought it always came after the first non-Portuguese/Spanish colony.
Is it possible it occurs when the Papal States gets a new monarch? At least maybe that has something to do with it? Historically, didn't the Spanish/Portugese petition the Pope for the Treaty? It'd be cool if you could do something like that in the game with some diplomatic/monetary penalty of course including some sort of required agreement between the two nations.
Maybe you played with historic events off?
