Princess Elizabeth Stuart does not wed Frederick V

Princess Elizabeth (1596-1662) was the daughter of King James I of Great Britain. She married Frederick V, Elector Palatine.
Suppose Elizabeth Stuart does not marry Frederick. Who shall she marry?

Apparently she only didn't marry Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden because he was at the time at war against Denmark, the country of Elizabeth's mother. So, if you butterfly the war or makes the Stuarts wait for the peace they could have been married.

Gustav Adolphus with legitimate male descendents?

God help the world.
 
Another candidate, but IDK how serious the proposals were, was Louis XIII during Henri IV's lifetime; and Wladyslaw IV of Poland. Actually that was considered when Sigismund III wanted to marry Arbella Stewart as his second queen. He would marry Arbella and Liz and Wlad would marry when they came of age.
 
Pretty much my thoughts.

That's a guy who will either turn the Thirty Years War into the Forty Years War, or the Twenty Years War.

"After laying waste to the Germanies, king Christian crossed the Alps with his army, his pair of Swedish Vallhunds and his pet racoon in order to destroy the Spanish armies in Milan..."

Nahh...

It'd be "Charles". After his paternal grandfather and maternal uncle.

By the way, without an English match, will Frecerick V still be so important that he (and not some other prince) gets invited to the Bohemian throne?

IDK how important the English match was to Friedrich's election as Bedrich I. They offered the throne to various Protestant princes - like the Saxon elector, Gabriel Bethlen, a prince of Anhalt-wherever - but I think Fritz accepted partially due to being well connected (king of England's son/brother-in-law, Dutch stadtholder's nephew, etc)
