WI: Elisabeth of Bohemia does not marry John of Luxembourg

What if Anne and Henry of Bohemia and Carinthia succesfully got rid of Elisabeth of Bohemia, Elisabeth of Bohemia has been betrothed to a low class noble before she considered being married to John of Luxembourg, I think a marriage between Stephen of Poland, Wladyslaw the Elbowhigh is possible in order to make her stop claiming the Bohemian throne, I think that would strengthen the claims of Anne of Bohemia and her husband to Bohemia and ending the Bohemian claims to the Polish throne.

Why? Anne and Elizabeth had the same claims to Bohemian crown, being daughters of Wenceslaus II. As far as Bohemian claims to Polish throne goes, every successor of Wenceslaus used the title of the king of Poland, until John sold his rights to that title to Casimir the Great in 1335.

They are weaker than the Luxembourgs, the Luxembourgs were already Holy Roman Emperors before the marriage to Elisabeth of Bohemia, I think they are likely to give their claim to the Polish throne to Elisabeth and send her as a bride of the King of Poland's son to get rid of her, which would mean they would sell their claims to Poland in exchange of a marriage and alliance against the Habsburgs.

Only just before.

1310 vs. 1308.

Not sure how this does anything to . . . do much of anything, except weaken the Luxemburgs.
