WI:Joanna the Mad marries Charles VIII

What if during the invasion of Rousillon, Ferdinand of Aragon had Joanna the mad marry Charles VIII, causing it to be impossible for Charles VIII to marry Anne of Brittany, assuming that Miguel de la Paz survives, would there be a war of Spanish succession.

Definitely NOT gonna happen. For one, It would be Ferdinand AND Isabella who would make any decisions. Second, Charles VIII was already engaged to Margaret of Austria, and the only reason that engagement was broken was because Francis of Brittany died, leaving Anne as his heiress. So if Charles didn't marry Anne he would marry Margaret. And finally, WHY would there be a succession war? Miguel would be the heir by right, Joanna would have no right to the throne with her nephew still alive.
