Louis the Great of Hungary has a son (a Hungarian-Polish realm)

In reality I really don't think it is plausible that all of these realms could unite in personal union under one King; his resources would be stretched way too far and at length an opportunist(s) would be able to displace him from one throne or another. You have various Geminind princes, descendants of the Piasts and Arpads, as well as foreign powers, all of whom could attempt to get a slice of the Jagiellon pie, to the exclusion of Louis' son. Albert of Hohenzollern, of Prussia, would especially be in a good position to make a bid for the Polish throne (his mother was a Polish Jagiellon princess).

What Jagiellons? If Louis has a son who is to become king of Poland and Hungaria, Jadwiga (Hedwig) is never crowned as king (!) of Poland, she never marries Lithuanian prince Jogaila and there is no Polish-Lithuanian Jagiellon dynasty.
Albrecht Hohenzollern? Prussia? Are we talking the same period here? This thread is about XIVth century Poland and Hungaria, I believe.
 
To be honest, I do remember a thread about Louis the Jagiellon surviving Mohacs, so perhaps he got that two confused.
