  6. Prince Henry Frederick Stuart lives and gets to pick a bride. Who would he choose?

    So I've been trying to figure out what would have happened if Henry Frederick Stuart didn't die prematurely. I have him marrying Catherine de'Medici (1593-1629) when he's still the Prince of Wales. When Catherine dies in 1629 he has the chance to remarry without his father's interference...
