What if when Louis XI of France marries Margaret, daughter of James I of Scotland, they hit it off really well? Suppose she supports his schemes and plots rather than, as far as I can tell, supporting his father habitually in arguments between the two? I was thinking, and writing, that when he fled to Burgundy under Philip the Good he might instead flee to Scotland and become Prince Consort of Margaret, Sneaky Queen of Scots as well as Louis XI, the Spider King of France. Their son would be Lewis I of Scotland and Louis XII of France. By all accounts Louis XI was a very good Battle tactician and intriguer and I think it could be a very intriguing departure from Our Timeline. Anyone agree with me?
