So, i've been playing around in my mind with a Napoleonic scenario whereas Nap ultimately decides that Tsar Alexander of Russia is trustworthy as an ally, or at least co-belligerent, and does not invade Russia. Instead, France and Russia gear up for an invasion of the Ottoman Empire by land, which succeeds. Rumelia (Bosnia, Serbia, Albania and Bulgaria), Greece from Thessalonica to the Peloponnese, and Constantinople are liberated, while Anatolia remains under the control of a rump Ottoman sultanate and Crete gets annexed by Britain to prevent the French and their allies from taking it.
My main question is: assuming that Napoleon decides to spin Greece off as an independent but allied kingdom, who is the most likely person to occupy the newly-created Greek throne? One of Napoleon's marshals (Soult, Davout or Ney)? A Romanov? Some Greek rebel leader of importance? A personal union with Murat's Naples?
