Union of Poland and Hungary
On Buda a butterfly moved differently on how it flapped its wings.
On 1350, Stephen Uroš V and Elisabeth of Bosnia are betrothed despite the protests of Elisabeth of Poland, she was converted to Orthodoxy and married Stephen on 1361.

By 1355, the Piast King Casimir III's second marriage, to Adelaide of Hesse, was failing. His only legitimate children, born of his marriage to Aldona of Lithuania, were his two daughters, Duchess Elizabeth of Pomerania and Electress Cunigunde of Brandenburg. Elizabeth and Cunigunde both aspired to the crown; the former in the name of her four-year-old son, Casimir, and the latter for her husband, Elector Louis II. Other candidates were the surviving Piasts, Casimir III's distant agnates: Duke Vladislaus of Gniewkowo and Duke Siemowit III of Masovia. However, the King had arranged to be succeeded, should he himself have no legitimate sons, by either of his sister Elizabeth's sons, King Louis I of Hungary or Duke John of Slavonia.

On 1362, Elisabeth of Pomerania is married to Louis of Hungary due to the persuation of Casimir III to Boguslaw of Pomerania in order for the succession of Louis I of Hungary,the son of Charles Robert of Hungary to be more legitimate and to solidify the alliance between Pomerania, Hungary and Poland, the marriage of Elisabeth of Pomerania to Louis I of Hungary which would later produce healthy sons which meant a stronger Anjou Dynasty on Poland, the two were given dispensation by the Pope.

-Louis of Hungary b. 1366
-Stephen of Hungary b. 1367

Casimir III, Louis of Hungary and Lietpold of Habsburg would start to campaign to regain Silesia on 1369 causing the Dukes of Silesia break from Bohemian suzerainty and pass to Polish suzerainty and the Duchy of Wroclaw is annexed to Poland completely, the war between Bohemia and Poland ended on 1372 and the loses were recognized by Charles V.

Elisabeth of Pomerania and Louis would succeed in Poland on 1380 on the death of Casimir III but her brother Casimir IV of Pomerania predeceased her so there was no opposition on their rise on the throne of Poland. Louis I of Hungary became known as Louis I of Poland and Hungary and also Elisabeth of Pomerania is crowned as his consort, she groomed her son, Louis of Hungary as the King of Poland and Hungary while John of Hungary would be the successor to the claim to the throne of Naples. Elisabeth of Pomerania arranged the marriage of Stephen of Hungary to Valentina Visconti, the daughter of Gian Galeazzo Visconti in order to strengthen the ties of Milan to Hungary and also she arranged the marriage of her daughter, Jadwiga to Richard II of England, the marriage of Richard II and Jadwiga meant the recognition of the union of Poland and Hungary to the Western World, since Louis I of Hungary became King of Poland and Hungary the union became almost permanent.



Note:
I like a union of Poland and Hungary with Silesia which means that the union between Poland and Hungary would be strengthened.

The Fate of Jadwiga of Hungary
Richard II married Jadwiga of Hungary as a result of the Great Schism in the Papacy that had resulted in two rival popes. According to Eduard Perroy, Pope Urban VI actually sanctioned the marriage between Jadwiga and Richard II, in an attempt to create an alliance on his behalf, in particular so that he might be stronger against the French, and their preferred pope, Clement and aside from that, her mother wanted the marriage so bad. Jadwiga's parents were one of the most powerful monarchs in Europe at the time ruling over about half of Europe's population and territory they were married on 1381.

Jadwiga of Hungary was pregnant a few years after her marriage with Richard II of England.

-Edward b. November 4, 1385
-John b. June 3, 1387

Although Jadwiga was originally disliked by the chroniclers, there is some evidence that she became more popular in time. She was known to have been a very kind person and popular with the people of England, for example she was well known for her tireless attempts to "intercede" on behalf of the people, procuring pardons for people in the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, and numerous other pardons for wrongdoers.
She also made several high-status intercessions in front of the king. She interceded on behalf of Simon Burley, Richard II's former tutor during his minority, in the 1388 Merciless Parliament. She was also on her knees for the citizens of London in the ceremonial reconciliation of Richard and London in 1391.

The reign of Louis I of Hungary
Louis I of Poland and Hungary on the first year of his own reign focused on the centralization and the merger between Poland and Hungary.
On the first year of the reign of Louis I of Poland and Hungary, the Halychians or Ukrainians rebelled against the Poles but it was easily quelled, the Slanzaks of Wroclaw were very happy of his rule while the dukes of Silesia and Mazovia were quite bitter and want to rule Poland but they have no choice but to remain under the rule of the Angevins.
In the meantime, the Polish-Hungarian Empire and the Serbian Empire made a non-agression pact.
On this time, the son of Stephen Dusan, Boris is married to a Muscovite Princess named on 1385, the same happened to Jogaila who married Anna of Muscovy but Jogaila still converted to Roman Catholicism, Poland-Hungary and Lithuania had a problem in the dispute of borders of Poland and Lithuania on Galicia-Volhynia, the issue was resolved by fixing of borders.
On 1385, Prince Louis of Hungary is married to Elisabeth of Opole, the Daughter of Wladyslaw Opolczyk, the marriage stated that the areas that were inherited by Wladyslaw Opolczyk would go to the Royal domain after his death if Wladyslaw Opolczyk has no sons.

Elisabeth of Opole gave birth to a son named Frederick on June 4, 1386.


On the late 1380'S Louis I of Hungary improve the University of Krakow which is now also known as Ludovician University.

Succession of Joanna of Naples
On 1385, Joanna of Naples chose two successors for her territories, Louis Valois of Anjou was chosen to succeed in Provence while in Naples she chose John of Hungary, her decision is supported by Pope Clement VII and Pope Urban VI.
In the meantime, John of Hungary's wife Valentina Visconti is revealed to be pregnant and gave birth on August 4, 1385, they were married on 1380, as one of the steps of Elisabeth of Pomerania to have the union of Hungary and Poland to have allies.
After the death of Joanna of Naples due to black death on 1386, Valentina and John came to Naples and started their rule, the rise of John of Hungary as John I of Naples meant the start of the Angevins being more powerful, Louis I of Hungary and Poland visited his son in Naples and he congratulated him of his victory.
And in this time the Anjou-Durazzo have strengthened their rule in Albania and have no interest to rule in Naples due to them being afraid of Kings of Poland and Hungary.
The Capetian House of Anjou is now allied with the Viscontis and Plantagenets and they seem now to be allied against their kindred the Valois.


Now, since the Capetian House of Anjou ruling Poland, Hungary and Naples is on the Plantagenet side? who would now win the Hundred Years War?

Prince Frederick's visit to England

On 1390 Prince Frederick decided to visit his sister, Jadwiga of Hungary in England in order to see how she is faring in England but he did not expect to see the children of Jadwiga and Richard, their sons Edward and John.
Edward was very close to Prince Frederick of Hungary due to him treating him as his own son, Edward said to Prince Frederick:

"I wanna grow up like you in the future"

and Prince Frederick responded:

"I am very proud of You Prince Edward"

Prince Frederick patted the head of Prince Edward and told him:

"You will be a good King in the future!"

Prince Edward Smiled at Prince Frederick.
Edward is thinking and said to himself:

"I will be a great King of England"

Frederick of Hungary told Richard II to take care of his son since Frederick believes Edward will grow up into a good King.
Frederick of Hungary went back to his homeland after his visit to England.

Crusade Against the Ottomans
On 1390, Louis I of Hungary and Poland dreamt that he should eliminate the future threat to Europe and his country which was the Turkish states on Anatolia, so he believe that the destruction of the Turkish states will cause peace in Europe, he appointed his son Frederick as a regent while crusading.
He wanted to crusade against the Anatolian Turkish states and he asked the permission of Pope Urban VII to start the Crusade, which he was allowed to do, he ordered Hungarian mercenaries and people all over Europe to come with him to destroy the threat and the infidels near Europe, he also enlisted the help of the Teutonic Order against the Anatolian Turkish states and promised them lands in Anatolia in exchange of giving up West Prussia to Poland.

King Lous I of Hungary and Poland rode with knights all over Europe to Varna where he would start to fight with Ivan Stratsmir against the Anatolian Turkish states which included the Budding Osman State.
The Osman state is annihilated by the Crusade by Louis I of Hungary and Poland and its lands were bought back to the Byzantine Empire and as promised by Louis I of Hungary, since he can't decide the lands that would be given to the Teutons he decided to give the Teutons the task of Crusading in Anatolia in exchange for West Prussia or Danzig.
