No it's not about a united Hanover and Great Britain
I was wondering could Catholics inherit the Electorate of Hanover. Younger brother of George I, Max Wilhelm was a Catholic and what if George I died as a child or something like that? The second son, Frederick August would become the Duke and his early death in a battle would be butterflied away. Suppose the the primogeniture succession is chosen like OTL, Max would would still conspire and get exiled as OTL. He goes to Austria and becomes a Catholic. Of course, no possibility of being in the British line of succession but what about Hanover? If Frederick leaves no sons, salic law says he is the heir. Frederick Augustus, Elector of Saxony converted to Catholicism to become the King of Poland but somehow i don't see Max inheriting. It sounds like a Catholic King of Prussia
