After the death of Henri III of France the French claim to the duchy of Milan died out. I was just wondering about who the claim would go to? Elisabeth de Valois' eldest daughter Isabella and thereafter to the dukes of Savoy, or the duc d'Angouleme - bastard son of Charles IX?

While Isabella is legitimate she's also female, and Angouleme (while male) was a bastard. And why didn't Philip II make Albert and Isabella duke and duchess of Milan instead
