I've just read that Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV took part in the Battle of Crecy along with his father, John the Blind, King of Bohemia, and that while his father died, Charles was only wounded and escaped. But what if Charles had also been killed? The throne would have passed to his younger brother, John Henry. How else would this have affected the politics of the Holy Roman Empire? Would the Wittelsbachs be in a better position?

Any thoughts?
