HRE Maximilian I lives longer

I think he also had some problems with his private parts as well.

I don't think so, I think he was happy in the relationship with Anna von Helfenstein (they had 9 kids together) - of whom I can only find birthyears for 4, 1507, 1511, 1515 &;1517. He probably just felt (lìke Louis XIV):that a remarriage would just complicate things unnecessarily. I mean, by 1511 his grandsons are basically heirs to all Western Europe besides France, Portugal and Britain. Why I said him remarrying to Anna is a pretty crazy idea.
 
"He remarried, but he had no more legitimate children and, through he was to live to the age of sixty, a serious attack of syphilis in 1493 had a lasting effect on his health"
