	History of Poland (966–1385) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Poland was in practice ruled by Louis' mother, Elisabeth of Poland (1305-80), dowager queen of Hungary, until her death in 1380.
		Both her mother, Elisabeth of Bosnia, and grandmother, Elisabeth of Kujavia, were descended from the Piast dynasty which had ruled Poland from IX century until 1370, and she was the granddaughter of King Ladislaus I, who had reunited Poland earlier in the century.
		The nobility of Poland prevailed upon her to end her engagement with William and instead to marry Jogaila, Grand Duke of Lithuania, whose country had returned to paganism after a brief period of Christian kingship in the 1250s.
