WI:Hungary as a part of the Crown of Aragon

What if Hungary became a part of the Crown of Aragon, what would happen to Hungary, the POD would be during the anarchy, a Aragonese claimant claims the crown of Hungary and Croatia, how would this effect the History of surrounding countries and Hungary itself.

Aragon-Hungary would be the main

European opponent of the Ottomans, if the union held for a long time.

So much depends on if later unions occur (Castilian-Aragonese, Habsburg). On the one hand, all subsequent royal births of OTL will be altered, but at the same time, the Trastamaras and Habsburgs were deliberately placing "bets" generation after generation, to create larger united domains through marriage alliances.

I'd say that while the empire of Charles V was an unlikely result of several lucky breaks, it was still more akin to becoming a blackjack champion or poker champion than a big winner at roulette or your typical lottery, because it was enabled by a degree of preparation and strategy.

I think the Habsburgs might be butterflied if the House of Barcelona claims Hungary, perhaps it would be the House of Wittelsbach might win against the Habsburgs and inherit Spain.
 
Do you have a fascination with Aragon-X or was this something that chance of happening? I honestly have time how it would out, Aragonese control over Sicily and Sardinia, I could see lasting by virtue that it wasn't that far away, and not that much in the way of cultural differences. Aragon and Hungary-Croatia, that's kinda tricky would the local nobles care for some whose attention would obviously be divided. How would Venice and Naples if their still around react to this, I assume a possible alliance since who is the King of Sicily is a sore point of contention and the potential of Aragon-Hungary being a threat.

There is a chance if Aragon gains Southern Italy earlier.
