What if the plan to marry Louis of Orleans to Mary of Hungary pushed through how would that affect the history of France, HUngary and Poland.
An advice : you are really making too "marriages" threads. The lasts one had 4/5 answers at best because you don't try to push deeply the thing, you just make one and another one, and another one. You should focus on fewer topics.
That said : royals marriages are really only the emerged part of the iceberg. It would have changed nothing but details in the great majority of cases. Things like Alienor giving a whole duchy to his sucessives spouses is rare. Marriages like the one between the Stuart and Francis II making absolutly nohting different are the norm.
In this exemple, as Louis priorities are to take control of the council, to crush the Bourguignon's faction, etc; it would have maybe pushed Louis to not assassinate Jean, or everything else. But the civil war cause were already there, and he would likely end murdered, or diying in battlefield if nothing else change.
As i said, Alienor of Aquitaine is an huge exception. Combinaison of a big inheritance, single and skilled woman (and powerful too) and powerful enough husbands to absorb a big territory with its own customs and laws.I like using marriages as POD, like what I was trying to do between Valentina Visconti and Ladislao Durazzo, I like using marriage POD's especially the ones that decide the destiny of a people like what happened to Eleanor of Aquitaine since I find marriage of an only heir being the best justification for annexation, so sorry if I make too much marriage threads.
As i said, he could claim everything he wanted to, it's not a marriage that would gave him enough force to change something in France, and even more in Hungary.Yes, it would likely affect his place in France but would Louis claim the Polish throne because he was considered to rule Poland with his wife Mary and would this marriage start a Valois Poland?
