So anyone who's read Thespitron's A more Personal Union knows who Francois II is, but to those who don't, he was Mary Queen of Scots' first husband. The marriage between the two was designed to create an Franco-Scottish Union, with the future King getting a claim to England as well. Obviously that fell threw. So what if Francois II was more healthy and didn't die of an ear infection (BTW I'm also covering the whole undescended testicles thing in the more healthy department)? What changes would we see? And as I stated earlier I am well aware of the obvious TL example. Personally I love that TL but I do question whether or not France would really abandon the Catholic Church. So any other opinions? Would this force Elizabeth I to marry? Would we see a better or worse religious Situation in France? Would France and Scotland be able to form a workable union? Would the French send troops back to Scotland at a later date? Would the Guise family be more or less influential? What about Mary herself? Would she usurp Catherine de Medici's position as ruler behind the curtain?
