Sigismund and Vladislaus wanted Elizabeth to marry Maximilian in 1511, just after death of Bianca. Also, Vladislaus agreed for marriage of his daughter to Max' grandson in 1505. Sigismund was not anti-Habsburg from begining of his reign, only Habsburg support to Teutonic Order caused him to shift his policy so he allied with anti-Habsburg Zapolya family (against will of his brother) and married Barbara Zapolya in 1512.
Would she be a realistic match?
I stand corrected, but this issue now is that any marriage to the potential HRE and heir at least to Austria won't be consummated until his 30's. Seems a bit risky. The Elizabeth of Denmark is an interesting option.
In such situation, would there be Austrian-Danish double match (Christian II and Isabella)?
Also, who is going to marry Elector of Brandenburg? Perhaps Elizabeth Jagiellon?
Sorry to retread ground already walked (was in court and didn't have my sources close to hand, hence why I suggest Bianca or Anna Maria Sforza):
Franz is born in 1481, and Elisabeth of Poland in 1482. A match as early as the mid-1490s is possible. I could see Vladislaus going for such a match after he gets the Hungarian throne. Or pushing his niece, Margarethe of Ansbach (b.1483)
Which means, if Vladislaus doesn't get an annulment (i.e. no Ludwik II or Anna of Hungary) he might very well designate a son of Franz and Elisabeth (his nephew) as his heir.
If Vladislaus doesn't get annulment then he'll try to make Sigismund his successor, although such change require some shift of Popes. Also if Vladislaus has no daughter, Janos Zapolya would marry Margaret of Ansbach, who was proposed to him IOTL, but he refused, hoping to marry Anne.Sorry to retread ground already walked (was in court and didn't have my sources close to hand, hence why I suggest Bianca or Anna Maria Sforza):

1507 sounds a bit late for the first child, why not go with 1502 or 1503? Make Maximilian the same age as his wife Anne of Bohemia and Hungary.
Switch Mary and Maximilian and then Mary would make perfect candidate for Sigismund I's second wife.So perhaps:
Maximillian (b. 1502)
Mary (b. 1505)
Francis (b. 1507)
Christina (b. 1510)
Leopold (b. 1512)
Elisabeth (b. 1515)
Switch Mary and Maximilian and then Mary would make perfect candidate for Sigismund I's second wife.
Sigismund was alread 51 years old when he married for second time, so he does not have much time to wait. 16 years old Mary would be marriagable in 1518, when Sigi remarried IOTL.Could Sigismund not marry her even if she was born in 1505?
This is true, if not sigismund whomcould this Mary marry?Sigismund was alread 51 years old when he married for second time, so he does not have much time to wait. 16 years old Mary would be marriagable in 1518, when Sigi remarried IOTL.
