Saxon-Poland ties

On 1558, John Frederick II of Saxony would marry Elizabeth of Poland, daughter of Catherine Jagiellonian and Louis II of Poland, this would strengthen the ties between Saxony and Poland and she would give birth to two heirs John Casimir (1563) and John Frederick (1564).

Elizabeth Jagiellonian would support the reformation in Saxony, even though she would remain catholic in her life to maintain her alliance with family members in Poland and she would support her own children in their being raised as a protestant.

The Poles and Saxons would have close ties in the future and also the other problems and the Saxons would have gained the Duchy of Zagan and Lubusz as Bohemian fiefs they have problems in Bohemia on their own, however the Poles would support them in their problems in Zagan Silesia due to the marriage of John Frederick and Elizabeth of Poland.
