I'm looking, though, whether there may be British intervention in Northern Alliances (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanian_War) possible TTL, but it is likely to be strictly naval thing, land experience being marginal.

I was thinking more the naval conflict prompting the same brainstorming as the Third Anglo Dutch War of OTL. In early 1670ies the kids born TTL would be too young, that would be still their fathers' war. The only new factor would be TTL Duke of Richmond (Esme Stuart), but even he would be better used in diplomatic service, given how his wife is a first cousin both to TTL Queen of Denmark (Liselotte) and TTL Princess of Orange (Charlotte of Hesse-Cassel).Hmm, naval expedition could be possible, especially if William asks them to help. Could be some good experience for the young guns
This is very true, hmm they'd be the generation growing up relatively peaceful then ready for war in the late 1680sI was thinking more the naval conflict prompting the same brainstorming as the Third Anglo Dutch War of OTL.

Which would also fit his personality if he takes after his father.
Very very trueHe will still be involved in conflict with Empire (War of Reunions/Cologne War), so...
I think that actually it may be approaching OTL number of Christian's kids. Since Christian shouldn't be persuaded to have sex with his wife. So, 4-5 surviving children and some more dying in infancy are OK number.
We've decided on OTL stuff IIRC.Did we ever say what was happening to Sweden?
I'd say Henry, and possibly a Catholic Princess, maybe Italian?For the eldest son of Charles of Gloucester (future Charles III) and Mary II, would he be named Henry after Charles' father, or James after Mary's father, and should he marry a Protestant Princess, or a Catholic one?
Henry IX it is, I think. For the boy born in 1680 the selection of brides would be quite great (ATL Danish/Dutch princesses leading the pool, but some others are possible).
