As says the title. If Mary were born a boy instead (James VI?) what would be the consequences? I understand that there would be no Treaty of Greenwich to be broken, and so no war between England and Scotland, but what more? Being raised by Mary of Guise would probably mean that the young king would be Catholic, but the fact that he lives in Scotland instead of France would be enough to make Catholicism stronger there?
