WI: Surviving Albany Stewarts

@Jonas actually makes a valid point here. I imagine François' health either means they're going to go for a slightly older bride for him (one of Ferdinand I's younger daughters rather than Maximilian II's daughter) or look at someone "local" like a princess of Lorraine or some other French aristocrat (probably Bourbon-Montpensier, since the main Bourbon line was extinct and while the Vendômes had girls,they were either much older than François or much younger). I could see a double Valois-Habsburg match going off - Élisabeth de Valois to the Spanish Habsburgs and her eldest brother to a girl from the Austrian branch - at some point (if things run like OTL).
