Joseph Franz, was the second son of Emperor Francis I of Austria and Maria Theresa of Sicily. He was born in 1799 and died in 1807.

Unlike his brother Ferdinand, he was a lively child and suffered no apparent problems.

What would've changed had instead of him dying in 1807, it had been his brother Ferdinand who had died? Joseph would now be heir to the Empire, who might be proposed for his bride? His brother's wife from otl, or someone else?

What might become of Franz Joseph, should he still be born here, without being the heir to the throne?

If Joseph as Emperor is a centrist, or as possible as it is to be a centrist whilst being Emperor, what might change in the Austrian Empire?
