Another Austrian query, this time on the eldest son of Francis II/I.
Ferdinand I/V of Austria was born in 1793, and ruled as Emperor of Austria from 1835 till his abdication in 1848. He governed with the help of a regency council, due to his illness, which meant he had twenty seizures a day etc. However, he was said to be quite charming and had a sharp wit.
What consequences could there have been if he was born without his illness, and was fertile, and consequently was able to rule on his own, whilst maintaining his charm and his wit?
Who might he have married, his otl wife? If they'd have had children, or even otherwise, would he have abdicated when 1848 came around, if indeed events happened as they did otl, ttl?
