What if Leopold Clément of Lorraine, hereditary prince of Lorraine survived small pox and married Marie Theresa of Austria just like it was intended OTL. Will Charles VI still apply the rule "no renunciation to Lorraine, no archduchess". Apparently, Leopold was a tall and very intelligent young man groomed to be his father's heir. Could Lorraine become part of the Hapsburg hereditary lands ? With a more active an confident young emperor,could Austria find a good outcome out of the incoming Austrian War of Succession ? Will Maria Theresa allow the sharing of power with her husband (OTL, she didn't with Francis).
