What would be the implications, for France, Europe, and the world as a whole, if the OTL Marie-Elisabeth of Valois (1573 - 1578), only child of Charles IX of France and Elisabeth of Austria, was a son who survived early childhood? How would the French react to Elisabeth of Austria as regent if Charles IX dies as OTL? How involved would Charles IX's brothers be in such a regency? And of course, if Catherine de'Medicis dies as OTL then she'll be around for another fourteen years...
