What if France, in its quest for the Rhine Border, manages to conquer either Trier or the Palatinate, what would happen to the electorate? I somehow doubt the emperor/HRE/Germans would like to have the king of France as one of the electors. So what would happen? Would they simply have to accept the king of France (or some other French vassal) as an elector? Would they appoint another principality as electorate and if so which one?
