WI: Louis II had legitimate issue?

What it says. What if Louis didn't die at the Battle of Mohács and left legitimate issue? Also, which of his domains can be inherited by his children if they are all daughters?
 
If Louis II would leave only daughters, then most likely a husband of one of these daughters (usually the eldest) would 'inherit' Bohemia and Hungary (& Croatia) in her right, or rather he'd be the one elected in her stead (but his legitimacy comes from his wife).
Perhaps the Bohemian and Hungarian Estates choose the husband from a different daughter though.
OTOH given the Ottoman threat, especially Hungary still needs support from the Austrian Habsburgs and Poland-Lithuania, which will be inclined to do so (maybe after some concessions) since otherwise they will (or at least might) be next.

So something like what Ferdinand did, except instead of claiming the inheritance of Louis' sister, it would be Louis' daughter.

Anyway, I thought Bohemia was under Salic law?

During that period Bohemia was also elective, so the husband of an otherwise heiress held a strong position during an election.
Bohemia didn't became hereditary again, until after the battle of White Mountain.
 
I didn't feel like creating a new thread, so I'll ask it here: WI Louis still dies in 1506 fighting against the Ottomans, but is survived by daughters with Mary of Austria? Considering the couples age, any daughter of them wouldn't be elder than 5 years old by then, and so she wouldn't be married (although Louis and Mary were married being only 9 and 10, respectively). Let's assume his daughter isn't married yet then. What would happen to the sucession? Would the Bohemian and the Hungarian nobles accept an underage girl as their monarch?

Zapolya would probably contest Louis' daughter. The little princess, in the meanwhile, might be married off to one of her Habsburg cousins. Unless the nobles demand she marry one of them in exchange for supporting her succession.
 
What about her marrying her cousin in Poland? To make a sort of bulwark against what might be seen as the Habsburgs getting too powerful? Of course, this might hinge on Sigismund the Old having more than one son, but if the PoD is at Mohacs, it's not impossible that either one of Bona's pregnancies is a boy instead of a girl or that she doesn't go hunting the day she miscarried her second son.
 
Someone I'm very curious about but I can't seem to find any further info about it, is Janos Wass (Lajos' illegitimate son). I wonder if Lajos' legitimate daughters would've inherited Janos' ridiculous fertility (he supposedly had 12/14 kids)

Well, his daughters also have the ridiculous fertility of the early Habsburgs on their side, but I haven't formalized my plans on the TL yet, so who knows.

I think that by this point, they're way more concerned about the Ottomans than the Habsburgs. Moreover there were many Jagiellon candidates left by that point. Besides it would be choosing between being dominated by Poland-Lithuania or the Austrian Hereditary Lands, sure they were linked with the Spanish Habsburgs, but the Austrian Habsburgs were the junior branch of the dynasty.
