All children of Charles VII live to adulthood

Francis will become Duke d’Orleans here as Orleans would merge with the Crown only if the holder become King or all the male line of the first holder died (and neither case would apply here). Don Carlos is the heir presumptive of Sebastian meaning who if he lived (or left legitimate heirs) and Sebastian died childless he (or his line) will inherit Portugal instead of Cardinal Henry.
This Ferdinand is definitely Ferdinand III of Naples as his cousin was Ferdinand II

EDIT: Charles VIII at the time of his death was likely waiting the right moment for another campaign in Italy (and he also needed money and allies before starting another campaign there)

Ok, edited accordingly with Francis being duke of Orleans and Ferdinand being III.
Charles might be waiting for another moment, but we can agree that regency isn't the best moment to start a war and Queen Mother with unstable position in France itself wouldn't want to damage it any further?

Bona’s surname was simply Sforza (d’Aragona was the one of her mother). I think who the eldest son will be called Francesco and the younger Ludovico (as the Sforza had not the habit to name their children after them, closest we got was Bona’s father Gian Galeazzo son of Galeazzo)

The younger Ercole can not be Duke of Ferrara if he died before his father
Bona is often referred to as "Sforza d'Aragona" and yes I am aware of the fact that it's combination of her parents surnames but not only in Wikipedia but also in almost all books about her produced in Poland she is called "Sforza d'Aragona", so I think both can be correct. Ercole will be edited accordingly once I get back home.
 
Ercole is edited accordingly.

@Jan Olbracht @Kellan Sullivan
Why exactly will Hedwig and Ferdinand marry...
 
Did you drop a footnote? Or why was Bosnia marked with an asterisk?

Yeah, I forgot about the footnote.
The footnote was this
*only titular king, Sigismund as a nominal overlord of Bosnia gave him that title to placate the powerful magnate and also to equalize marriage of his daughter to him.

1b) Philibert III of Savoy (1504 – 15 August 1547)

Why exactly will Hedwig and Ferdinand marry...

Because her father is king of Bohemia and Hungary ITTL and Anna of Bohemia-Hungary (Ferdinand's OTL wife), doesn't exist ITTL.
 
Doubt Bosnia will like that much...

A N Y W A Y what will change with a secure succession?

Bosnia was a province of Ottoman Empire right now, old kingdom was just an empty title (think - kingdom of Jerusalem) and sultans basically ignored Hungarian claims to Bosnia.
Secure succesion to whom?
Sigismund?
Lack of trying to elect his son vivente rege would slow down the process of transition from hereditary to elective monarchy in Poland.

Germaine of Foix was around forty when she wed Ferdinand, Duke of Calabria so it would be MIRACULOUS if she had a daughter by him...why is Philip II marrying a daughter of Ferdinand and Hedwig?

ITTL Ferdinand is king of Naples and she is wedding him as first husband, as Ferdinand of Aragon wed Yolande of France.
Philip has no better bride and IOTL he married daughter of Ferdinand as well.
 
Ah OK. You could've said the Yolande of France bit lol. That could work yeah

Maximiliana is a girl?
 
What I wonder about- & I know this is an idea different than the OP’s but please hear me out everybody- is what if Charles VII had somehow had an additional male child, born anywhere in the period from 1409-1411? Said person would then have been 17-19 when Joan of Arc crashes into Charles’ life in 1428. As we
know, Charles IOTL listened to anti-Joan advisors(not that they had to push him very hard)& abandoned
Joan to the English so she could be killed. What if this additional child is an ally of Joan’s who try’s to help
her? Advises Charles to listen to Joan? Is so angered & appalled @ his father’s refusal to even try to rescue
Joan from the English that he actually manages to rescue Joan himself? If he pulled that off, what would
Charles’ reaction have been? (I somehow doubt he would have been overjoyed). Could this set off an actual war between father & son? (IOTL, Louis XI did revolt against Charles). And what would Joan have
done? The possibilities seem to me endless(maybe someone could- hint, hint- set up such a TL....)

How will this son rescue Jeanne d'Arc? Why would father and son go to war, when the son could potentially inherit? Why exactly will this child by an ally of Jeanne?
