So, this is something I've been wondering for a little while.

James V and Mary of Guise had two sons who ended up dying in infancy: James, Duke of Rothesay and Robert/Arthur Duke of Albany.

Say both boys survive their infancy and live into adulthood, what butterlfies could this have for Scotland and Europe?

Would one potential butterfly be James V not dying in 1542?

Who could both boys marry? A French marriage or somewhere else?

Would the Scottish reformation proceed as it did otl, with there being two male heirs in the country?

And about the fate of Mary, if indeed the girl is still born.
