Otl, only Louis, Le Grand Dauphin born 1661 survived to adulthood. But there were five other children. Now, say two of those other five survived, Philippe, Duke of Anjou born 1668 and Marie Therese of France born 1667, how would this influence things for France? Would Louis ignore the conditions of his marriage contract to Maria Theresa and angle for Philippe to get the throne after Carlos II, if so, would Carlos be more accepting? Would the other powers be more accepting? Who might Philippe marry? And to add onto interesting things, if Charles II of England had a son as a consequence of this butterfly would he and Louis look to mary their children together?
