The other sovereign, though, not imperial, house that focused its political interests on Central and Eastern Europe was the house of Jagiellons.
This house was the descendants of Vladislaus Jagiello, Grand Duke of Lithuania (1377-1401), who became King of Poland, marrying Jadvyga, the only daughter of the last King of Poland of the Andegawen dynasty (1386).
