So, this is something that will be part of a future timeline, of mine.

If Leopold, Holy Roman Emperor and Margaret Theresa had a surviving son, let's go with Ferdinand Wenzel born 1667, said son is reasonably healthy and has his mental capbailities intact. I imagine considering the risks that Carlos II might die suddenly, Ferdinand would be sent to Spain as soon as he's old enough to be raised as heir. In this instance, with there being a surviving son, would Margaret Theresa survive for longer without the additional strain of needing more kids immediately? Thus potentially meaning that there are more children later on for the two of them?

Secondly, who would Ferdinand in this instance marry? An Orleans girl, perhaps the girl his uncle married otl? Or if Louis XIV has a surviving daughter, would that daughter marry Ferdinand to unite the two claims?
