@Jan Olbracht's thread about sons of Francis I dying in captivity gave me idea to do this thread - what if Charles d'Orleans, third son of Francis I wasn't that stupid and didn't start to fight with plagued pillows? As a consequence, Charles survives and is able to marry either Anna of Austria, daughter of Ferdinand I with Milan as a dowry or Maria of Spain, daughter of emperor Charles V with either Netherlands or Franche-Comte as a dowry. Which one he would marry? Let's say he dies as a 70yo man in 1592, thus he outlives his elder brother, Henry and his children. Will there be a War of Three Henrys with undisputed, male, Salic and Catholic heir of Henry III? @Kellan Sullivan @isabella
