Here's the scenario:
Charles, Count of Angouleme ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles,_Count_of_Angoulême ) has another daughter instead of a son in 1494 and dies before he's able to have any more children. Meanwhile, King Louis XII of France still dies without having any surviving sons in 1515. The new French King is Charles IV, Duke of Alencon--who becomes known as King Charles IX. He dies in 1525 without having any surviving sons of his own, and the new French King becomes Charles III, Duke of Bourbon--from the elder branch of the House of Bourbon (this branch died out in 1527 in our TL as a result of Charles's death during the Sack of Rome; this event doesn't happen in this TL). The Duke of Bourbon becomes King Charles X of France.
Anyway, what kind of King would this TL's Charles X (AKA Charles III, Duke of Bourbon) be?
Also, if Charles has at least one surviving son in this TL and thus ensures that the elder branch of the House of Bourbon survives, how different is the elder branch of the House of Bourbon going to be in governing France in comparison to how the younger branch of the House of Bourbon (the House of Bourbon-Vendome) governed France starting from 1589 in our TL?
Thoughts?
