I found an interesting tidbit of information when looking up Maximiliana Maria of Bavaria's possible marriage to D. Sebastiao of Portugal. Namely that her sister, Maria Anna, was, at a stage, courted by Janos II Zsigmond Zapolya, king of Hungary and Prince of Transylvania. And from what I could make out, the negotiations were rather serious (or at least the duke was attempting to make them seem so, since it was as a result of them that Archduke Karl proposed). Naturally, I found this interesting because a surviving Zapolya line would/could be first in line amongst possible successors to the throne of Poland when his uncle kicks without issue.

What does everyone else think?
