If Phillip II Of Spain doesn't have any surviving sons, since he married his niece of which five children were born but only one survived. In this case Phillip III simply dies young. Or that Phillip III was instead born a girl and survived.

I'm thinking that either his eldest daughter succeeds him, married to one of the Austrian Hapsburgs to ensure that the Hapsburgs remain sovereign over the country. And likely since Isabella was also his favorite daughter, by all means. Just that he needs to find one of his cousins, but heir or no heir the Hapsburgs at this point were mostly marrying their cousins with the surname Hapsburg.

Thoughts about how this will go?
