In 1 February 1328 King Charles IV of France died aged 34... He had a daughter Marie by his third wife Jeanne d'Evreux and no male heir... However at the time of his death Jeanne was already pregnant on their second child... Philippe de Valois (who was next in line of succession and member of the second most senior branch of the Capet dynasty) was appointed Regent until Jeanne gives birth...
In April 1328 Jeanne gave birth to another daughter Blanche and Regent Philippe became King as Philippe VI...
WI Jeanne gave birth to a boy instead of a girl (lets name the boy Charles).
Could the infant Charles V prevented the Hundred Years War and lead Edward III to abandon his French claims? How is his birth altering History?
