James V's cousin, the duke of Albany lost his wife in 1524. He was the last legitimate male heir of the Stewart-Albany line. He had a half-brother and half-sister but they had been declared illegitimate by their parents' divorce. Albany finally kicked off in 1536 at Mirefleur in France, twelve years after he was widowered. My question is this:
were there any plans for him to have remarried between 1524 and 1537 (especially since the Scots' royal line was down to him and James V), and if he had, who might he have married? I've read about the Scots' discussion for a Stewart match with Christine of Denmark or Maria of Viseu being either between James V or the duke of Albany and said lady. But in 1524 they'd still be in the single digits age wise, as would Margaret Douglas (who would otherwise make for an equally acceptable candidate).
And then my other question: if he had remarried and had a son to succeed to his Albany dukedom, should James V leave either no children, or just girls, would James' daughter or Albany's son succeed to the Scots crown?
The main reason I'm asking is because even in most TLs that I've seen, dealing with the period, the Albany line is allowed to go extinct as OTL. And also, if the Albany line were to survive, there would be nobody arguing about which line is senior (as what happened OTL between the Hamiltons and the Lennoxes).
