So is this a positive toward not recalling the parelements to get the issue resolved sooner. Or would it be better for a more skilful (read a Louis who uses his skill) Louis to keep the parelements cowed?
yes, because Max II was only elected as king of the Romans in November 1562
why wouldn't they produce issue? As I pointed out in my tree, D. Carlos' genetic quota is the same as Louis XIV's son and he left six surviving children (three legitimate, three bastards, with his morganatic wife having...
It was Maurepas's choice of tutors that developed Louis-Auguste's scientific, and in particular his nautical bent, as was to be expected from a long-serving naval minister. Maurepas had appointed Buache hydrographer in his newly formed map bureau at the naval ministry, so it was natural for him...

deaths wouldn't necessarily go the same, since Charles X and Angoulême were both ill with typhoid- Charles died, Angoulême survived.- which they contracted at their home in exile. Angoulême died of cancer- although I'm not sure what cancer- and spent the last few months in a forgetful blind haze...

Sorry if this is derailing the thread, but was there any way that the Welsers could've "made a go" of Klein-Venedig. Not neccessarially turning it into an "empire" but at least using it as a sort of trading post originally and then expanding it from there (sorta like how a lot of Dutch colonies...
