Anne of Swidnica

Verse 1

On 1362, Anne of Swidnica, Queen of Bohemia and Holy Roman Empress gives birth to a son named Sigismund, named after the saint that is the favorite of his own father which is Sigismund of Burgundy, Anne of Swidnica would not give birth again.

On 1363, Casimir the Great of Poland would betroth his granddaughter, Elizabeth of Pomerania to the son of the Duke of Mazovia, Janusz of Mazovia to safeguard the succession of Poland against his own nephew, Louis of Hungary giving Siemowit VI of Plock a right to the throne of Poland after his attempt to marry her to Wladyslaw the White who even sold the Duchy of Inwroclaw to him, Elizabeth of Pomerania would give birth to her four surviving children with Janusz, Anna of Mazovia b. 1365 Wladyslaw b. 1367, Siemowit b. 1372 and Boleslaw b. 1377.

Casimir III in this point in time would have an alternative heir to his own grandchild and his bloodline would be part of the bloodline of the future Kings of Poland.

On 1366, the Holy Roman Empress Anna of Swidnica would die due to a plague and Emperor Charles IV would ask a wife that he would marry and he was given the woman he wanted to marry his own son to Elizabeth of Slavonia a woman aged 14 at that time, meanwhile the 16 year Hedwig of Zagan would marry Rupert of Legnica, the beautiful Elizabeth of Slavonia would give birth to further children for Charles IV; namely Anne of Bohemia b. 1367, John b. 1369, Margaret 1372 and Henry b. 1377, the marriage would guarantee peace till the death of Charles IV on 1378.

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.
