So, looking through the list of children that Charles I and Henrietta Maria had, I noticed that their firstborn son was named Charles James, and was born in 1629, but died shortly afterwards. My query is twofold, firstly had he survived, and otl Charles II had been born a year later, would he have been named James instead? And then otl James II named Henry etc?
Secondly, assuming that Charles James lives, would it be plausible to see him married to Louise Henriette the otl wife of the Great Elector of Brandeburg, as part of a strategic alliance between England and the Dutch against Spain perhaps? if so, who might ttl James and Henry marry?
