As it says on the tin: there were four candidates to succeed as Louis XV during the Sun King’s reign – his son, Le Grand Dauphin (1661-1711); the dauphin’s eldest son, Mgr le Duc de Bourgogne a.k.a. le Petit Dauphin (1681-1712); Bourgogne’s eldest son, Mgr le Duc de Bretagne (1707-1712) and finally his younger son, Mgr le Duc d’Anjou (OTL Louis XV) (1709-1774). How they get onto the throne (i.e. Louis XIV dying earlier, them living longer (esp. in the case of Bourgogne and/or Bretagne)) doesn’t matter. How would the government of France developed under their reign? How would Europe have been changed if they had succeeded? Happy voting.
