WI: Charles IX of France doesn't die

What happens if Charles IX of France doesn't die in 1574? Would he be able to have kids and continue the Valois line? How would this change Polish politics?

No Stefan Bathory for one. No Polish Vasas for another.

Charles did have kids, just three that were ineligible to succeed to the royal dignity of France - one was female, and the two boys were bastards.
