I remember reading that at one point it was suggested that Elizabeth Charlotte or Orleans daughter of the duke of Orléans marry archduke Joseph, later Joseph I, as part of a move to bring peace between the habsburgs and France, but for whatever reason this didn’t go through.
My question, is what if it has? Elizabeth is closer in age to Joseph. Therefore potentially making their relationship somewhat better, she was also fertile, producing five surviving children orl.
If they marry in say 1696 could they produce perhaps four children before either dies or so? If so what does this change?
