[1] Made peace with the Hussites and retained Lusatia and Silesia as his territory.
[2] Tried to have herself elected as Queen of Poland, after losing the elections, she decided to establish her own Kingdom in Silesia and Lusatia, that claims to be the rightful successor to the Piast Kingdom of Poland, she made a cease fire treaty by having her son, John(of Piast-Opole) married to Elisabeth Jagiellon, a daughter of Jogaila and with Elisabeth Jagiellon the territory of Wschowa was ceded to the Kingdom of Silesian Poland from the Jagiellonian Poland-Lithuania, the de jure claimants before her are recognized as Kings as well.
[3] A patron of Kasper Elyan, who printed texts in Polish in Wroclaw, he is known for his wise reign, the duchies of Opole and Glogow reverted to the crown in his reign.
[4] In an aggressive move Lajos took Silesia by force. This proved vital for Hungay as after losing the 1526 battle of Mohacs he retreated with the remnants of his army to Silesia. There he rebuilt an army and with the Help of Ferdinand of Habsburg he managed to win in 1531 the battles of Pest, Belgrdand Nis. Defeating the Ottomans and reclaiming Hungary. Silesia was raised in Status and lajos realm was known as the "double Monarchy". He was suceeded by his son, Augustus and buried in Silesia according to his wishes.
[5]Augustus I started off his reign at 18 and unmarried, in 1550, he married Anne of Poland, the daughter of King John II of Poland. In 1554, Prince John of Poland, only male heir to the throne died with his father dying a few months later.
Poland in fear of being taking over by a Russian or German king, asked Augustus if he would do the honour of uniting the two kingdoms, with a long thought, Augustus agreed to the proposal, writing the first Hungarian-Polish constitution which kept him in power of military and foreign affairs but devolved power to politicians regarding internal affairs.
Anne provided Augustus with a number of children and on his death bed, Augustus passed his throne to his oldest son, John III.
[6] John was only ten years old when he ascended to the throne, his mother Anne serving as his regent until he reached his majority. The 64 year reign of John the Third (regnal numbers in the Commonwealth were assigned based on the highest number from previous kings of Poland and Hungary) was marked with a Golden Age. The commonwealth cemented its place on the world stage, received it's first colony in the new world, Johnsland (OTL Guyana), and made much progress in Culture and the Arts. John's reign also saw a great period of peace where many alliances with other countries were formed, such as with the Spanish Empire, John marrying Isabella, the daughter of the King of Spain. John was such loved by his people. he was given the title "the Great," after his death. John and Isabella had many kids together and when the beloved king died at age 74, he was succeeded by his eldest son, Ludwig.
[7] Ludwik was 52, when her gained his throne from his father. His 23 year reign saw his nation, ingulfed in the great Russian-Austrian War (1643-1647) where his army with their allies of Russia, pushed their southern borders further down.
Ludwig was married three times, first to Princess Joan, of Hanover, then to his cousin, Duchess Henrietta, of Prussia and lastly to his neice, Princess Elizabeth, of Saxony.
He died at the age of 75 and was succeeded by his eldest grandson Ludwik II.
[8] Since the first Ludwig's oldest son Augustus, Prince of Silesia had predeceased him, Ludwig was succeeded by Augustus's oldest son Ludwig who at age 22 became Ludwig II. The younger Ludwig was a weak and ineffective ruler and a drunk to boot. After an uneventful reign of 8 years, he died childless age 30 and as a result was succeeded by his brother, Wladyslaw II.
[9] As soon as Wladyslaw took the throne, he was determined to retake all of Pomerania and Prussia beyond the Oder for Hungary-Poland, giving his realm many valuable ports. In only three years, he managed to sweep through all of the region from his base in Pomerelia (taken by Augustus I), destroying the Teutonic Order and chopping the Duchy of Pomerania in half. His domestic policies were initially unpopular, but he silenced dissent with propaganda. However, Lithuania was being attacked by their former Russian allies, which lead to war with Russia. Poland didn't officially support Lithuania, meaning that the peace treaty could actually include a reborn Galicia-Volhynia controlling large parts of Ukraine. In the end, Augustus the Strong turned out to be quite weak because of his oppressive policies. Russia's defeat weakened it so the Khanate of Kazan could attack it, and some of his more religious nobles criticised him. Others claimed "he would convert to Islam if he was not being bribed by the Catholic Church. This almost got him deposed, but he solved the problem by removing papal advisors, and founding his own church, following the lead of the Francian Church. However, it was too late, and the church failed to gain traction.
[10] Casimir was the nephew of Wladyslaw, and had been studying in the Catholic Church in hopes of being ordained as Arch-Bishop of Budapest. But after the death of Wladyslaw, the religious nobles supported Casimir as King rather then his cousin, Augustus.
Casimir saw the Catholic Church grow stronger and in 1703, saw Polish cardinal, Albin Jan Ryłko elected as Pope Pius VI, giving Casimir the chance to call a minor crusade on the Khanate of Kazan, financed by the papacy and grow the commonwealth into one of the largest empires in Europe.
[11] Casimir married after gaining the throne in hope of producing an heir. However, his only son Wladyslaw died in a hunting accident one year before Casimir's own death. Worried that his "heretic" relatives would seize power, a succession crisis would arise or both, he designated his daughter Anna as his heir. When Casimir died, the nobles elected 26-year-old Anna to succeed him in fulfillment of his wishes. Anna who became the first Queen Regnant of united Hungary-Poland was married to Frederick von Habsburg, a powerful Austrian Archduke, securing Poland-Hungary's alliance with the Holy Roman Empire. Anna though only on the throne for 20 years proved to be an icon of Polish-Hungarian history. She continued the crusade on Kazan started by her father and three years into her reign in 1729, Kazan fell and was annexed by Poland-Hungary with much help from the Holy Roman Empire and to a lesser extent, Spain, France, Portugal and England. Anna and Frederick were regarded as heroes for this conquest and they started a new campaign, eastward expansion into the remote territories of Siberia. As a result, an ongoing series of was were started with the old foe of Russia who also wanted this land. In 1733, Anna's husband Frederick was elected Holy Roman Emperor (as Frederick IV) giving the couple land that stretched from as far west as the Rhine to as far east as Ob River in Siberia. Anna died age 46 in 1456, leaving behind a vast empire...
