Some background: Henry IV was a completely awesome & uncommonly egalitarian king who almost everybody in France liked - "almost" because he ended up being assassinated by a mad monk (probably because Henry's Catholicism was not entirely sincere). After his death he was succeeded by his son Louis XIII, who was still a boy at the time.

So, Henry IV is not stabbed to death and lives for a couple more decades than OTL before dying of old age. What are the effects on France, its future, and that of the rest of the world?
