On December 27th 1594 Jean Chatel tried and nearly killed king Henry IV but he the king got away with a small cut. Let's say he kill Henry. At the time the French religion wars seemed to have been coming to an end but ITTL the situation would have been radically altered.
Since Henry had no heir, next in line was Henri, Prince of Conde. He was just 6 years old, his mother, Charlotte de la Tremoille was a Huguenot and imprisoned on the charges of murdering her husband and the boy Henri was rumoured to be bastard and was only acknowledged in 1596. Maybe his acknowledgement could be arranged ITTL and he can be raised a Catholic. The problem is he would need a regent, but he had two uncles: Francois of Conti and Charles of Soissons. They both seemed to have been capable and although Francois could claim the crown and dismiss Henri's rights he doesn't seem that ambitious. I'm thinking it would maybe be more interesting if he acts as Lieutenant-General and Regent for Henry V. The question is, if his uncles put him forward could he gather enough support? Both Francois and Charles were against the Catholic League and fought for Henry IV but they were Catholics themselves. I'm guessing the Protestants and the ultra-Catholics would both dislike the choice of Conde for a king, as well as some nobles who would argue Henri's legitimacy. I'm asking anyone that has better knowledge of the period could there be a moderate faction that would develop around him and be strong enough to secure his succession?
Another interesting issued would be the succession in Navarre. Henry IV had one sister Catherine that would inherit the crown. IOTL she married Henry of Lorraine because she was forced to but she was actually in love with Charles de Soissons who is the King's uncle ITTL. If that marriage can ba arranged as a way to secure a truce between the Protestants and the Catholics then the religion wars actually could end quickly. However, she was a little old by then and probably couldn't give birth to an heir.
And also, what would the situation in France look like. Could peace finally be restored without the capable leadership of Henry IV? And what would happen on the international stage?
