A possible tree for Louis XIII and Anne of Austria and their children.

Possible consequences for this? Louis XIV would be twenty one when he comes to the throne and might well have fighting experience. Who might he and his siblings marry here?
 
Louis XIV would be a stern man, given to determination to see his will done, and driven to reform administration centred around his person and his person alone.
 
So, I can see Louis's life being shaped by both the 30 years war, where he might get some experience toward the end of the war, and I also think that should the Fronde happen, that Louis would play a leading role in breaking it.
