Looking for a Wife for Christoph, Duke of Lolland?

[Kellan Sullivan]

The guy in the title - if you didn't know - was the older brother of Margareta, Lady [Queen] of Denmark and Norway. Unfortunately, he suffered a head injury and was never quite right after that, in addition to dying young (22yo). If he were to survive, who might be offered as a wife for him? I've seen Elisabeth of Pomerania (OTL fourth wife of Emperor Karl IV, mother of the future Emperor Sigmund) suggested, but I can't find any others.

Anynody have any thoughts?

Ingeborg of Mecklenburg? Sister to the future King Albert of Sweden, and in 1365 widow of Louis son of the Emperor Louis.

Some (marriage alliance) candidates I can think of are Catherine of Bohemia, daughter of HRE Charles IV (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_of_Bohemia), or either Joan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_of_Valois,_Queen_of_Navarre) or Marie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_of_France,_Duchess_of_Bar) of Valois, both daughters of King John II of France and Bonne of Bohemia.

If his younger brother Valdemar (1350- June 11th 1363) survives as well, possible brides for him could be Joan of Valois (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_of_France_(1351–1371)), daughter of King Philip VI of France and Blanche of Navarre, or Taddea Visconti (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taddea_Visconti).

Ingeborg could be interesting, especially since her second husband was a prince/duke of Holstein IIRC.

A Bohemian match I could perhaps see - Karl IV wanted to build an empire from Bohemia to the Baltic, so he'd still look for a wife in Pomerania (according to @Jan Olbracht) and Denmark would be a useful ally in said empire-building. Howevee, I'm less sure about a French match (although there was a Bourbon girl offered for Eric of Pomerania). Taddea Visconti would likewise be possible, since IIRC, her sister, Lucia, was offered for Margareta's son, Olaf.
