What if the older Uncles of Anne of Brittany died without an issue and she inherited Navarre, Bearn and Foix as well, would she marry Ferdinand of Aragon or Charles IX of France or Maximilian.

Maximilian is as OTL her only possible choice in any case: Ferdinand is already married with Isabella of Castile who is a much more attractive bride for him in any case and Anne will never marry freely Charles IX but only if forced as OTL.What if the older Uncles of Anne of Brittany died without an issue and she inherited Navarre, Bearn and Foix as well, would she marry Ferdinand of Aragon or Charles IX of France or Maximilian.
Wouldn't a marriage with the Queen of Navarre nullify the alliance between Maximilian and Ferdinand because of Navarre.Maximilian is as OTL her only possible choice in any case: Ferdinand is already married with Isabella of Castile who is a much more attractive bride for him in any case and Anne will never marry freely Charles IX but only if forced as OTL.

Then that means there is a possibility for Anne to be married to Philip instead of Maximilian.I do not think that can destroy their alliance (who was mostly against France because both needed allies against them) and in any case at the time of the marriage with Anne (1491), Maximilian was not yet allied with Ferdinand and Isabella (his daughter Margaret was still betrothed to the French King and was the double marriage in 1496 between Margaret and Juan of Asturias and Philip of Burgundy and Juana of Castile and Aragon to cement that alliance who likely was started not before 1494)
