Probably my favourite among the 16th century's Austrian Habsburgs - thanks in no small part to @SpaceOddity's TL, Now Blooms the Tudor Rose - the guy flipped the bird at his family and married a woman he loved rather than contracting a dynastic match as was expected of him (and Elizabeth, the Virgin Queen, was one of the possible spouses mentioned for him). But then, his darling Philippine died and he bowed to pressure from his family and married again. Only to still die with no sons - except the two that he'd had by his morganatic first marriage.

My question is this: suppose we leave Ferdinand II's second wife in the convent? She wanted to be a nun, OTL, and the daughters she had with Ferdy either went into a convent themselves, or died childless. Now, interestingly enough, Ferdinand's son, the Margrave of Burgau, married Sibylle of Cleves in 1600, when she was in her mid-40s. So, what if Ferdinand II were to marry Sibylle as his second wife? Ferdinand and Anna Caterina Gonzaga married in 1582, when Sibylle was already spinster-age (25yo). Now, I know Sibylle's Ferdinand's niece (but so was Anna Caterina), but could it have any difference on the outcome? A surviving, non-morganatic son for him, perhaps?

Alternately, I'm open to other suggestions for a Mrs. Ferdinand.
