Of course, without the Ottomans to knock the locals about, you probably shouldn't expect them to take Hungarian dreams of hedgemony lying down.įurthermore, Hungary didn't like Venice. Louis the Great had ambitions as far south as Bulgaria, and the entire area was viewed as a Hungarian back yard. Well, depending on how you look at the effects of the POD, there are numerous chances for a union of Poland and Hungary under a single kingdom.Įither Louis I has a son, or a Jageillion gets Hungary post Louis (if the Jagiellions even exist in this timeline), and without the Ottomans to kill of the Jageillion kings (Wladislaw I of Hungary/III of Poland) or Louis II of Hungary (who was grandson of Casimir, and cousin of last Polish Jageillion), the chances for a more permanent union are far more likely.Īlso, without the Ottomans to take over the Balkans, Hungary is likely going to keep vasalising and absorbing the statelets below them.
