So I came across this:
In France in the seventeenth century, for example, the larger than life Louis XIV saw his only son, his eldest grandson, and his eldest great-grandson - all potential kings of France - die within the span of a year (the second-eldest great-grandson, the future Louis XV, was saved only by his governess, who locked herself in a room with the two year old prince and forbid any doctors to come in and “treat” him with bloodletting).
So what if the governess failed to save the young prince's life? FWIG, the next in the line of succession happened to be Phillip V, King of Spain; does this mean a dual monarchy was possibility?
