AHC: Polish-Hungarian commonwealth

Poles and Hungarians are good brothers right? Your goal is to have a PoD which results in a Polish-Hungarian union instead of union with Lithuania
 
Well tehnicaly there was a polish-hungarian union in the late part of the 16th century under the house Bathory (Bathory Istvan 1533-1586). At that time Hungary was divided into 3 parts :Habsburg hun. , Royal Hun. and Transilvanya. Bathory Istvan was the ruler of Transylvania and was elected polish king to.
 
Actually Hungary and Poland were informally united several times historically it just never stuck. Partially because both countries had notoriously prickly nobility. To get any kind of union to last for more than a generation I believe you'd likely have to firmly crush the nobility in both countries and make sure they stay down for several generations or else they'll split any union the first chance they get.
