Wait, Catarina having children by Albert is against what you wrote earlier about infante Ferdinand inheriting Austria.
Also Albert is the youngest male and is in the church... A childless wedding to either Ernest or Matthias would make much more sense for Catarina

Or perhaps Ernest or Mathias having only daughters with Catarina might make sense as well.
I had a typo i really meant to say If the line was extinguished so Ninja'd.

At first you need to make Poland protestant by Sigismund's II plan about National Church succeeding.
Perhaps make them more tolerant compared to IOTL and support against the Austrians.
That's a rather unlikely name for Isabelle and François's Duke of Orléans. If I'm not mistaken OTL Gaston was named for OTL Henry VI's great-great-grandfather, Gaston, Prince of Viana. Even Philippe, after his grandfather, seems more reasonable.
Catherine of France, Queen of Poland
Catherine of France, Queen of Poland
On 1592, Queen Louise would arrange the match between Sigismund III Vasa of Poland and her daughter, Catherine of France, this would be approved by the Szlachta of Poland and not Anna of Austria who Sigismund Vasa really wanted and the Szlachta would approve of the marriage which would cause the negotiations with Anne of Austria to flounder causing his jilted bride, Princess Anne of Austria would marry Rannucio I Farnese a relative of the King of Portugal, she would also assist her husband in the administration of Poland and the betrothal between Catherine of France and Sigismund III would be signed on 1593.
Catherine of France would finally leave the French court in 1596 to marry Sigismund III Vasa, apparently, Catherine of France would prove to be a good Queen and a good influence to her husband and son, she would advise her children of religious tolerance as she has felt religious turmoil in her native France and she would some sympathy to Lutherans which would be inherited by her children, Catherine would promise to the Riksdag on 1599 that one of their sons would be raised as a Lutheran as she persuaded her husband Sigismund III to make concessions with the Riksdag on 1597 a year into their marriage and thus on 1508, when John Casimir was born, it would be decided that he would be raised as Lutheran while Wladyslaw would be raised as Catholic, but Wladyslaw would have pro-protestant leanings.
Catherine of France would bear five surviving children who were able to survive to adulthood and they were:
Catherine of Poland November 4, 1598
Wladyslaw June 10, 1600
Margaret of Poland May 2, 1604
John Casimir of Poland June 4, 1608
Hedwig of Poland May 10, 1611

I just made the Polish vasas more sympathetic to the Lutherans so I will have John Casimir as the King of Sweden.

OK, it's your timeline, so I assume that Riksdag's proposal about Sigismund's son being raised in Lutheran faith was accepted by Sigsmund ITTL.
Yep and that is because of Catherine's insistence, which would create interesting consequences in the 30 years war.

It'd turn Vasa realms more pro-French (but there are rather important questions earlier).
I think both the Palatine Bohemian Kings and Polish Silesians especially the Lutheran Poles in Silesia would thank Catherine of France (hinting my future plans) in the future, she is Bona Sforza 2.0 minus her catholic leanings.
