Anal Fistual Successfully Kills Louis XIV

[RandomWriterGuy]

What if the surgery that Louis took to cure his anal fistula failed and resulted in his death? What shockwaves would this have?

I misread that as "Anal Fisting successfully kills Louis XIV".

Me too. I demand the OP change to met our expectations!

[Mumby]

I misread it too. Is it simply a dirty mind, or a lack of knowledge about rectal medical issues?

[stateless_englishman]

Was going to report this. My mind is still not sure what to make of it.

His son Louis becomes Louis XV. but to be honest I have no idea what sort of king he would have made

This sets up quite the um...awkward POD

A rather poor one.

Most accounts of the Grand Dauphin suggest he was... slightly simple. Hand over the Bourbon absolutist state to a man who can spend an entire day amusing himself by sitting in an armchair and tapping his cane and problems will result.

I must say the title makes it sound as if this was an anal fistula with a purpose.

I thought this was spam advertising for miracle cure, myself

But uh...yes. Louis XV becomes king. Let's hope his prime ministers are up to the task of handling his affairs for him.

The Grand Dauphin becomes king, and TTL's Louis XV. IOTL Louis XV isn't even a twinkle in his father's eye by this point. (1685.)

But yeah, I agree with that sentiment. Especially as the interesting part of Louis' OTL reign is coming up, where France wound up fighting the rest of Europe over, and over again.

Oh, what fun.

Of course, if the French king isn't acting in ways that encourage that, there's not going to be as much inspiring or holding together such things.

Austria for instance would much rather not have a western front.

After I stopped laughing I thought of that English King who they killed by jamming a red-hot poker up his clacker.

I have nothing to contribute other than that.

[Emperor Constantine]

I always assumed that it would be the Duc d'Orleans would be the one to die an anal related death, not Louis XIV
'But in all seriousness le Grand Dauphin would assume the throne as Louis XV and there might be less war between France and the rest of Europe.

[snerfuplz]

I kind of wish Louis XIV did die from anal fisting. Much merriment would be had

[Gonzaga]

Louis XIV would die then in 1686. With the "Grand Dauphin" as king would the French still trigger the Nine Years War? And assuming that the conflict doesn't happen or is postponed, would it affect the way how William III rushed to take the throne from James II in England?

[Sucrose]

Be honest, you made this thread just for the "Discussion Thread Misreadings" thread, didn't you?

With this Louis XV as king, who is leading "the French" to trigger it? The king has a considerable amount of power.

[RandomWriterGuy]

He did had some children prior to his OTL death that were suppossed to succeed him. Who would be the candidate in this case?

And yes thistle should be with Fistula, not fistual.

Yeah. And in OTL there was the War of Spanish Succession, so how will the new king deal with that?
