Louis XIV originally supported Prince Jorgen of Denmark (better known to us as Prince George, Duke of Cumberland, the consort of Queen Anne) for the elections as king of Poland. George refused since he didn't want to change his religion.
What if George has no such qualms about his religion, and is elected as king of Poland? His father had turned the Danish elective monarchy into a hereditary monarchy, so might we see a lasting cadet house of Oldenburg in Warsaw?
What would the effects be in European politics?
NOTE: IDK if George was actually as dull as every one of his contemporaries makes him out to be, but let's give him a few extra braincells (maybe make him a Charles II of England type ruler - cunning and shrewd)
