What if Frederick I, Duke of Austria lives and marries Eleanor of Brittany? What would there children be called and how many would they have? Would they try to claim the English throne after the murder of Arthur I of Brittany? Please discuss!
Wouldn't Frederick and Eleanor and there decendants still try to claim the throne as pretenders?
No, I mean like the Jacobite claim to the throne.
I really see a Nephew-Aunt marriage with dispensation in this one to settle the succession, the second son of Eleanor of Brittany and the eldest half sister of Eleanor marry or vice versa.As much as King Stephen's family did (and in all honesty they were a lot nearer and had a far greater shot of inheriting than Eleanor in Austria). If John dies, then yes, there's a good chance, but with an adult male available, Eleanor would need a sizeable army to make her claims any good.
