Alexander Stewart, Duke of Ross (posthumous son of James IV of Scotland) lives

Jan Olbracht

How do you see Scotland's foreign policy under Alexander (again, assuming that he is James IV reborn)? Better relations with England, that is for sure without Rough Wooing.

Let's say Alexander and Eleanor manage the following kids:

Alexander IV of Scotland (1514 - 1557) m. Eleanor Stewart (1521 - 1573)
  1. James (1540 - 1555)
  2. Alexander (1541 - 1593)
  3. Margaret (1543 - 1551)
  4. Elizabeth (1545 - 1599)
  5. Eleanor (1547 - 1559)
  6. John (1548 - 1556)
  7. Robert (1552)
  8. Matthew (1554 - 1599)
  9. Joan (1557 - 1597)
In this scenario, Alexander (b.1541) likely marries cousin Mary (in place of his older brother) and the younger brother marries a Scottish nobleman, but who might the daughters marry? Also, how would Marie of Guise navigate her time as a Queen Dowager (would she try to spirit Mary away to France as she did IOTL)?

Princess Elizabeth could potentially be viewed as a Queen for Edward VI, before the prince dies, and I could see Joan being offered to a French Prince, perhaps Henry III of France.

I think they'd look to maintain a balance between England and France, and maintain good links with the Low Countries.

No, Edward here would go directly for the French match with their princess Elisabeth (his OTL fiancé)
