Suppose that every male Bourbons(including Louis XIV himself,OTL Louis XV and the cadet ones from the Orleans and the Conde etc) except for Philip V of Spain himself caught measles or some other diease and died in 1712? How will this affect the War of Spanish Succession?Does Philip V of Spain take over France as well and fight to the bitter end to preserve his rule over both kingdoms(let’s assume that he’s not getting another son for another ten years)?Or will a noble from another Capetian branch takeover?
