Just looking over the royal family trees of Europe for Wacky Personal Unions, and I noticed a blindingly obvious one.

Elizabeth Tudor dies in, say, early 1558. Mary Tudor dies on schedule, and Mary Stewart (Queen of Scots) is named her heir (as is logical; they were cousins-ish and she was the next in line AND a good Catholic).

So we have a Mary Stewart-dominated Anglo-Scotch Union. All good so far, fairly standard fare around here.

But hang on. In 1558, Mary was married to Francois, the Dauphin. Which means that her potential son with him will be King of France.

...Anglo-Franco-Scottish personal union?

What also makes it interesting is that this is the period in which Scotland transferred into a Protestant theocracy under the spiritual guidance of John Knox, and the temporal rule of James Stewart, a royal scheming bastard in all senses of the phrase. This took place with the aid of Elizabeth I - but that can't happen here, because she never comes to the throne, and the Queen whose regent they're overthrowing is now the Queen of England. So we could see Mary Queen of Scots leading an Anglo-French invasion of Scotland.

Confused yet?

It gets even more fun if we add in a secondary POD, vis-a-vis Francis II's survival to adulthood, at which point he can father as many children as he wants on our fair Mary. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem like a permanent affair, what with Salic Law, but it could last a few centuries - enough to screw history thoroughly. The Valois domains now encompass the entirety of the British Isles...

I might turn this into a TL.
