I have written a timeline concept that I have been writing for months, this TL is not green lit officially and this is just a preview of that TL..so here we go.
Henry I of France
A Polish Princess and a French King
Meanwhile in Poland On 976, Dobrawa talked to Mieszko and told him that he should better improve his relations with the Kingdom of Bohemia, she became sickly but quickly recovered from her own sickness and accompanied Mieszko to Bohemia. Dobrawa told her brother, Boleslav II that she is happy with her husband, Mieszko so he does not need to worry about him, Boleslav II told his sister, Dobrawa that Mieszko was quite competent as a man and Mieszko even said that she is lucky to have married him.
Silesia, Krakovia and the Cherven towns remained under the rule of Boleslav II of Bohemia which meant that the Holy Roman Empire would be bordering the Kievan Rus, however he felt that he should convert Kievan Rus to Christianity as well like what his father did to Poland.
Dobrawa arranged the marriages for Swietoslawa of Poland and used it for the advantage of both her husband and his own nation, however it meant that Swietoslawa should be a dutiful wife for her own betrothed, Dobrawa and Mieszko heard about Hugh Capet becoming the King of France and they make a marriage alliance between the new Kingdom of Poland and France by marrying Swietoslawa and the son of Hugh Capet, the King of France, Mieszko sent emissaries to France in order to send their message of alliance and betrothal to Hugh Capet, Hugh Capet accepted their proposal so Swietoslawa was sent to France on 987.
Swietoslawa of Poland is married to Robert I of of France on 988, the marriage at first did not go well because Robert I was younger than Swietoslawa. Swietoslawa changed her name to Clarisse[1] and also the Junior Queen of France, Clarisse of Poland is remembered in her name Clarisse of Poland not Swietoslawa as she is called by her relatives back in Poland due to the lack of records.
The Junior Queen of France established good relations between the two countries of France and Poland and Clarisse of Poland gives birth to a son named Henry[2] on June 4, 989, the child made the relations between Clarisse of Poland and Robert II of France better, Henry would be the junior King of France of Robert II once he becomes the King of France, Clarisse of Poland was happy and she was happy that her own son is healthy and is the heir to the throne of France but being the heir to the throne of France is quite hard and she will support her son, Henry on his own plans once he becomes the King of France.
On 992, Clarisse of Poland was hearing rumors that her husband is quite unfaithful and he has an affair with Bertha of Burgundy, she confronted her husband about the affair but he responded to her that there is no such affair between him and Bertha of Burgundy but Clarisse of Poland wanted proof of his own fidelity to his Queen, he stayed with her side again and she gave birth to a daughter, named Marie on June 4, 993, Clarisse of Poland started to notice that Robert of France is cold to her agan and there are still rumors of him being unfaithful to her and that he is seeing Bertha of Burgundy again who was related to him and also she started to assert her rights as the legitemate Queen of France.

Finally on 995, Clarisse of Poland was able to see Robert of France seeing Bertha of Burgundy and their forbidden relationship, she asked help to Hugh Capet, the King of France in order to defend her rights as the Wife of his son, Robert, he helped her reconcile with her husband. Eudes, the Count of Blois, the husband of Bertha of Burgundy learnt about the affair so he locked her preventing her from seeing Robert of France, the affair caused Eudes lose his faith to the King of France, although he was happy that Clarisse of Poland was able to catch the affair and take back her husband.
Finally on 996, Hugh Capet finally died and Robert of France finally became Robert II King of France and Clarisse of Poland became the Queen of France, she visited her family to tell her the news of her coronation to her brother, Boleslaw and her father Mieszko, however, she found out that her father had already died, although, her mother, Dobrawa still lives, Robert II was a weak king and abused by his own vassals and his wife, Clarisse of Poland is also directing him as well on his reign.
Clarisse of Poland raised her son, Henry of France to be a tough king and rebellious as well but her daughter Marie also have a future, she would be betrothed to a Prince in Leon, Alfonso.
On 1002, her husband, Robert II inherited the Duchy of Burgundy, expanding the Royal demesne of France, Clarisse of Poland and Robert II of France learned about the conflict between Normandy and England due to the Vikings attacking England and chose to interfere in it and make a marriage alliance with England in order to restrain Normandy and its Viking allies, she arranged the betrothal between Elgiva of England[3], the daughter of Aethelred the Unready and Prince Henry of France on 1002 along with the marriage between Aethelred the Unready and Emma of Normandy on 1002, due to this Elgiva left her native England and travelled a channel from her homeland and finally to France where she will meet her own fiance, Henry of France while her father's fiance, Emma of Normandy arrived at England.
Elgiva was finally married to Henry of France on 1005, the marriage would give France a reason to later ally with England, Clarisse of Poland was very happy about the marriage between them, Elgiva was at first disliked Henry of France, but she later learned to like him.
Unfortunately for Clarisse of Poland, Eudes, count of Blois, Bertha of Burgundy’s husband died on 1006, so Bertha and Robert II were seeing again and she is furious again and plotting to to have Bertha of Burgundy be gone from her husband’s heart forever, however her own failure to secure her husband’s heart made her almost crazy that she left the French court back to Poland on 1008.
However, a few years after Clarisse/Swietoslawa left for Poland on 1010, Robert II of France died and Henry I was crowned as the King of France and she fetched his mother, Clarisse/Swietoslawa from Poland, King Boleslaw I met his nephew, Henry I of Poland for the first time and his mother, Clarisse of Poland joined her son in his return to France and said that his father had died and she can return to France as the Queen Mother, Clarisse of Poland was very delighted with Henry I’s entourage and she was able to retain to France as a Queen mother and as a respectable Queen.
