What it says on the label. What happens to the development of France if the Fronde succeeds? By the Fronde I mean the first Fronde, the Fronde Parlementaire. The main PoD that I can think of is that the French lose the Battle of Lens, and the ensuing riots in Paris lead to the death of Cardinal Mazarin and the imprisonment of young Louis XIV. Louis will abdicate in favour of Armand de Bourbon, the Prince of Conti, who will take the title of Henry V.

Anyone?
