Alterate husbands for Jadwiga of Poland

Siemowit IV of Masovia. He was very ambitious, after Elizabeth of Bosnia declared thah Jadwiga would be the queen of Poland (instead of Mary, as it had been decided) Siemowit had an idea to marry Jadwiga and take polish throne for himself. He had strong support in Greater Poland and planned to kidnap Jadwiga from Wawel Castle to force her to marry her, in this way combining her and his claims to the crown. Nobles of Lesser Poland found out abd did not let Siemowit into the castle. But WI his plan worked?
 
If Jadwiga de Anjou didn't marry Grand Duke Jogaila, William Habsburg consumed marriage and szlachta of Poland become very angry. Teutonic Order attack Greater Poland and conquer Torun, Bydgoszcz an other greater Poland cities. Next to attack will be Lithuania - pagan Grand Duchy was attacked in past by Teutonic Knights.

Actually, Toruń / Thorn was already Teutonic at the time.
