WI:Casimir III has a son

I was thinking about the scenario what if Casimir III has a son...If Casimir III has a son he will focus on his duties such as regaining Silesia, Pomerania and the other former lands of the Kingdom of Poland and there would be no union with Lithuania..however the question is how would this effect Europe in General?

I think most likely the son of Casimir III would marry a Habsburg or Jadwiga of Zagan who married Casimir III in OTL.
 
A lot depends on - when the son is born and how old he is when Casimir III dies, who is his mother, what is personality of theson, etc. Generally, however, I believe he would have tried to follow his father's policy concerning Silesia and Pomerania, probably keeping anti-Bohemian alliance with Hungary and trying to create an anti-Teutonic alliance with Lithuania.

If Aldona of Lithuania gives birth to a son in 1330's which would mean the son would be 30-50 when Casimir III dies, a Habsburg,Hungarian alliance with Poland against Bohemia, I think Wladyslaw of Opole would be an ally and the Lithuanian alliance against the Teutons, I think provided that Charles IV has no healthy son with the exception of Sigismund in OTL, in ITTL he would most likely would have no surviving son that would not predecease him and no grandsons as well and John Henry has no chance of a surviving heir, this might mean that Bohemia would most likely end up as a Power vacuum later on.
 
Here is my scenario..


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Aldona married Casimir III of Poland, when he was 15 or 16 years old. The bride was probably of about the same age. The marriage took place on 30 April or 16 October 1325 and was a purely political maneuver to strengthen the first Polish–Lithuanian coalition against the Teutonic Knights. Casimir was seeking allies in the dispute over Pomerania with the Order. Gediminas had just undertaken an unsuccessful attempt to christianize Lithuania. The details of the agreement are not known; however, it is known that Gediminas released all Polish captives, numbered at around 25,000, who returned to Poland. The importance of the marriage was attested by the fact that Wladysław abandoned his earlier plans to marry his son to Jutta of Bohemia. The alliance was put into effect when joint Polish-Lithuanian forces organized an attack against the Margraviate of Brandenburg in 1326. However, the coalition was not strong and collapsed c. 1330. On 1335, Aldona of Lithuania showed signs of pregnancy, she gave birth to two healthy boys named Boleslaw and Wladyslaw, and the last child of Aldona of Lithuania would be Sophia of Lithuania on 1340, however after a year, Aldona of Lithuania would die on 1342.[/FONT]
