Henry II of France was famously killed in a freak jousting accident. I want to ask those one the board more familiar with French History than I, what would have been the implications of a longer reign for King Henri II? How much longer could he have lived and reigned had his accident never occurred? What impact would his survival have had on the religious tension France experienced during the period during which his sons reigned? What international implications would his survival have had, specifically regarding Scotland and England? How might France and the rest of Europe have developed in the absence of that accident?
