The King of Poland, Casimir III would declare that Casimir IV of Pomerania would be his own heir, the nobles of Silesia and Greater Poland would support the ascension of Janusz I of Warsaw but rather chose that a marriage between the daughters of Louis of Anjou and the children of Janusz, it was chosen that Mary of Hungary, the daughter of Louis would marry Wladyslaw of Mazovia and Wladyslaw of Mazovia would be the future ruler of Poland as a deal for Louis to waive his succession to Poland and Poland gave the Duchy of Ruthenia to the King of Hungary in order for the King of Hungary to wave his succession to the Kingdom of Poland, Casimir III would settle in the succession of either Janusz I of Warsaw or his grandson, Casimir IV.

The nobles would choose an agnate of Casimir III, Janusz I of Warsaw instead of his own grandson Casimir IV of Pomerania on his death of Casimir III due to Janusz I being of Piast blood and husband of the granddaughter of Casimir III and the blood of Casimir III would remain as the rulers of Poland since Casimir IV of Pomerania would die without sons in 1372, leaving his wife, Joanna of Lithuania remarrying to Siemowit IV of Mazovia and the Dukes of Opole would rejoin as a vassal of the new king of Poland, Janusz I in 1370 just after he became King.

Verse 3

In an effort to revive the fortune of Malayu in Sumatra, in the 1370s, a Malay ruler of Palembang sent an envoy to the court of the first emperor of the newly established Ming dynasty. He invited China to resume the tributary system, just like Srivijaya did several centuries earlier. Learning this diplomatic maneuver, immediately King Hayam Wuruk sent an envoy to Nanking, convinced the emperor that Malayu was their vassal, and was not an independent country. Subsequently, in 1377—a few years after the death of Gajah Mada, Majapahit sent a punitive naval attack against a rebellion in Palembang, contributing to the end of Srivijayan successor kingdom. Gajah Mada's other renowned general was Adityawarman, known for his conquest in Minangkabau, the conquest was a success that it was able to scare the peninsular muslim states into submission.

Majapahit would have major vassals in the north in the area they have suzerainty which are Sapa and Kaboloan in their colony of Saludong which would be the intermediary between the Japanese and Majapahit, since there is a surplus population in Java and Bali in the late 1300's, many immigrants from Java would migrate to Saludong, particularly in the areas of Makabebe, Faru and Tundun which are the chief ports during that time which are parts of the Majapahit colony.

In the late 1370s and early 1380s, Timur helped Tokhtamysh to assume supreme power in the White Horde against his own uncle. After this he united the White and Blue Hordes, forming the Golden Horde, and launched a massive military punitive campaign against the Russian principalities between 1381 and 1382, restoring Turco-Mongol (Tatar) power in Russia after the defeat in the Battle of Kulikovo. The Golden Horde, after a period of anarchy between the early 1360s and late 1370s, passed for a briefly reestablishing as a dominant regional power, defeating Lithuania in Poltava around 1383.Timur was able to confirm the loyalty of Tokhtamysh and their alliance and crush the Muscovy into submission in 1384.

Princess Maria of Poland

Verse 4

The marriage between Maria of Poland and William III of Hainault on 1380 would give them four children namely Maria b. 1384(later married to John I of Bourbon), Jacoba b. 1387, William b. 1390 and Philip b. 1394.

Due to the lack of other sons Charles V would raise his son, Charles with utmost care especially after he was married to his bride, Elizabeth of Lancaster, who is very fertile at that time and that heirs are needed soon for the Kingdom of France on 1380 but the marriage terms would include that the County of Champagne would be restored to the Kings of Navarre and the Duchy of Normandy would be given to the Navarrese Kings and that the French Kings would respect the treaty of Bretigny, the two would have children soon in 1383 as soon as Charles was able to consumate the marriage and it was a daughter Marie b. 1383(later married to Louis II of Anjou), Jeanne b. 1387(later married to William of Hainault) and two sons Louis b. 1393 and Jean b. 1400, the marriage was said to be a blessing to France but the peace would not last after the death of Edward IV, the Black, the two sons of Charles are sickly although the daughters are healthy, the Anjou and Burgundian branches are already prolific at this point and the Duke of Anjou and Count of Provence and the Duke of Burgundy are wanting more power in France but the sickly sons that only Jean would survive adulthood would spell doom to the house of the Valois in the end.

Due to the marriage between Charles and Pierre of Navarre to their brides, Eleanor of Castille is married to Martin of Aragon b. 1358 and this would mean that the Trastamara are weaker and would easily defeated by the English claimant.

The King of England and the claimant to the Castillan crown would offer a marriage between a daughter of the claimant English King, John and the claimant to the throne of Portugal, Philippa of Lancaster and and Joao or John of Portugal, the two were married in Proxy on 1385 as soon as it is proposed, the bride is just shy of 25 years old and was not expected to be married off internationally and John of Portugal is crowned as John I of Portugal.

The status of the Duchies of Silesia would mean war between the Bohemians and the Poles after the death of Casimir III and Charles IV and now the weak Wenceslaus IV would now be the King and his brother Sigismund is betrothed to Catherine, the heiress of Louis of Hungary on 1378 and the two are married on 1382, the situation in Bohemia would be a mess due to the Duchies of Silesia gradually falling to the Kingdom of Poland, until it would be only the Duchy of Swidnica would remain in Bohemian suzerainty on 1385, King Wenceslaus would accept this as the fact and gave the Duchy of Wroclaw to the new King of Poland King Janusz I.

Bohemia would remain peaceful till John Hus; an Heretic would be preaching his own teachings to the Bohemians.
