I was reading about the Siege of La Rochelle (1572) and I've found this part:
"Eight assaults of the city were waged from February to June. These attacks, along with cold winter, resulted in large the losses on the royal army's side... The Duke of Anjou was himself wounded several times during these conflicts."
Well, at the time the Duke of Anjou was the future Henry III of France. So, WI he had been wounded more seriously and had died during the siege? Would his brother François d'Alençon be elected king of Poland in his place? Assuming that Charles IX still dies in 1574, how would be the reign of Francis? And what could be the effects of these changes in the French Wars of Religion?
