So, I'm planning a story where Charles Stuart, Duke of Cambridge (b.1677) son of James II and Mary of Modena, survives and succeeds as King, under a regency. I'm going to have him marry Hedvig Sophia of Sweden, elder sister of Charles XII, and Ulrika Elenora. To keep butterflies to a minimum, Charles XII is still going to die without issue, but what I was wondering was, would the throne of Sweden pass to Hedviga Sophia and to her firstborn son by Charles? Or would it pass to her and their second born son?

Would there be a succession war?
