Ae you psychic? Cause I was wondering the same thing just last night
Well, to paraphrase
@Kurt_Steiner, that
means Fernando de Antequera is going to stay as a Castilian
prince du sang which will cause all sorts of fun and games to happen in Castile.
That said, if one looks at the Compromise of Caspe in 1412 each of the candidates is problematic:
Fernando is 32yo, married with 5 sons. He's Castilian though, which I'm guessing
didn't make all the Aragonese warm and fuzzy
The duque of Gandia is an octagenarian, and has no (legitimate)kids of his own, his heir is his brother (who died 2 years after Caspe anyway), but both their claims are pretty distant by comparison to the other candidates
The count of Urgell is the same age as Fernando de Antequera. But he has no sons by Caspe, and despite having one, that only son died young (in 1422).
Louis d'Anjou was all of 9yo. His mother would likely be regent. And given how she went about business in France, this could be pretty interesting to say the least.
England doesn't want France getting their hooks into Aragon, since it would threaten not only the English holdings in Aquitaine (IIRC if there was anything left) but also the traditional English allies of Castile and Portugal (both of whose queens were sisters to Henry IV). France in 1412 or 1413 isn't really in a position to project power of any sort (but I could be wrong). There's no one in Paris (as it were) to back Anjou (which I feel is going to be important, going forward).
But removing the archbishop of Zaragoza can
probably help Louis' cause. TBH, compared with the other candidates - except Antequera - Louis is the best of a bunch of bad options. He's 9yo, so he can still be "formed", he has two brothers as heir. And a marriage between Fernando's daughter or niece and Louis could easily be arranged (Yolande, duchesse d'Anjou and her mother, Violante of Bar, attempted to arrange a marriage between Louis and Marie d'Anjou (OTL queen of France) and two of Fernando's kids (Alfonso V and his sister) shortly after Caspe IIRC).
Sorry, if I'm flying by the seat of my pants with a bunch of this stuff.
