What if Ferdinand of Aragon dies without issue due to not marrying Isabella of castile, after John II and Ferdinand dies, the Foix and Angevins would fight the succession of the crown of Aragon, who would get the throne of Aragon?
The Kings of Naples are serious claimants. Bastards sure, but male-line and more importantly with a male heir alive in 1516, while the Anjou (+ 1472) and the Foix (+ 1480) had only female heirs at the time. The local aristocracy would rather have a distant new king than a powerful french baron.What if Ferdinand of Aragon dies without issue due to not marrying Isabella of castile, after John II and Ferdinand dies, the Foix and Angevins would fight the succession of the crown of Aragon, who would get the throne of Aragon?
Foix has a male heir in the person of Gaston of Foix, who would use the claims of his mother Eleanor vs the claims of Nicholas or Rene of Anjou..that is if the deaths and of Francis Phoebus and Nicholas of Anjou are not butterflied.The Kings of Naples are serious claimants.

the date of Ferdinand ii would be in 1470's, Gaston, Prince of Viana and the Duke of Villena would be obvious heirs and would rival Nicholas of Anjou..I am confused : both Gaston, prince of Viana, and his namesake Gaston, Duke of Nemours, were dead without male heirs in 1516. Are you suggesting another date of death for Ferdinand II ?

yep the duke of segorbe.You mean the Duke of Segorbe ? The Duke of Villena died in 1445.

The problem is that France and Castile might divide aragon..The infant Fortuna had before 1476 the ambition of marrying la Beltraneja, so the Spanish union may come back by the window.
He would need either a nomination as heir by Ferdinand (not impossible if Ferdinand is childless) or a combination of local support (he seemed to be quite in touch with the Catalan elites) and foreign intervention (Castile rather than France).
