Queen Anna
1401:
After death of his first wife, Hedwig d'Anjou, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania Władysław Jagiełło was in need of new wife. Candidate choosen by him, Anna of Cili (who could pass her Piast blood to Jagiełło's descendants and would strenghten their claims to the Polish throne, because she was granddaughter of King Casimir the Great) arrived to Cracow in July of that year. Polish King was stunned by her beauty and resemblance to her Angevin cousin and decided to not wait long with wedding ceremony*
*That is POD. IOTL Jagiełło was not very enthusiastic about marriage with Anna, who was described as very ugly and was of poor health. Jagiełło delayed their wedding after she came to Cracow and once they were married he was still not very interested in her, no surprise, that their only child was born 6 years after they married. TTL Anna is healthier, better looking, and would be more active politically.
And yes, I know it would change nothing in the long run, because drunk, dirty, dumb, greedy, selfish, sociopathic, subhuman retarded (did I miss something?) szlachta would inevitably impose liberum veto, because anarchy is deeply ingrained in "Polish national character" since time of Mieszko I and Poles could only live under someone's whip, hehe)
