So, I gather we'd have the Duke of Burgundy either King or Regent for his infant son, Flanders made next in line and perhaps raised to a duchy to keep their backing, Joan of Navarre married off to some minor French noble related to the Capets/Burgundians and perhaps reconfirmed as Countess of Champagne, and Edward barred on account of foreign birth.
To avoid any son of Joan or Blanche making a later claim I suspect succession law/precedent becomes either eldest sons of immediate princesses at time of the King's death or election of a King, by a gathering of the nobles and bishops, from among closest male heirs including husbands of princesses.
Does that sound right or would something simpler be needed?
