AHC Royal-Quasi Royal Marriages

When I found this out I actually thought that this was perhaps the reason why he'd been married off to the lady mentioned.

It certainly might've made for an interesting pro-French party in Madrid during Carlos II's minority.

In fact, both matches were planned for circumstantial reasons, and then I saw that son of Marie Mancini did marry a Medinacelli, and Juan Jose was a candidate for hand of either Marie or Hortense. So "because reasons" actually worked.
 
I wonder if families like the Sobieski, Rakoczi and Bagration etc could have a larger injection into the more established families like the Romanov and the Bernadottes did?
