So I was reading the Joseph Ferdinand thread, and started thinking about other potential Spanish Monarchs. Luis I of Spain was the son of Philip V and Maria Luisa of Savoy and became King when Philip V abdicated for unknown reasons. He died just seven months later from smallpox. So lets say he never catches it or survives the infection. What would he reign look like? What would his policy to Italy be like in the case of his half-brothers from Elisabeth Farmese? He and his wife Louise Élisabeth d'Orléans didn't get along at all so would they reconcile or would Luis seek an annulment and rick angering France? What would happen with his father Philip? After all having two Kings and Queens at court would be fairly awkward.
