WI: Emmanuel Philibert died at the Battle of St. Quentin

Well it would probably butterfly away Savoyard unification of Italy as from what I could gather from his wiki page. Emmanuel Philibert was largely responsible for reversing the loses and expanding the power of the duchy of Savoy as well as making the state more Italian oriented.
 
Jacques, Duke of Nemours, would become the new Duke of Savoy. As he had large states in France, he would probably be more involved in French politics.
