Naples Instead of England

According to her article on the French wiki, there were talks to marry Charlotte of Naples (OTL comtesse de Laval) to James IV of Scots.

What if James and Charlotte had married? What does this mean for the future of Scotland?

I don't really get the title, considering that the Comtesse de Laval married into a French family, but I'll give it a go. This would mean, assuming that Charlotte's brother the Duke of Calabria still dies childless, that Scotland can lay claim to the thrones of Naples and (potentially) Jerusalem. Aside from a few extra titles, I'm not sure how this would affect things long-term. At the very least this could mean a axed Anglo-Scottish union, as the Stuart claim came from Margaret Tudor, who wouldn't be marrying James IV here. Or, if James only has a daughter, it could mean an early union between England and Scotland (an early rough wooing). Aside form these, I'm not really sure.
