So I was doing some reading around, and found that apparently Charles II once considered making a distant cousin Frances Stewart his Queen when it was thought his wife Catherine was not going to live.

Say Catherine does die in 1663, how likely is it that Charles goes ahead and makes Frances his bride? It is said that he was in love with her, but also that she had refused to become his mistress.

If he does marry her, how does the kingdom react?
