  • The savaging of Poland by the Mongols since 1241/42 never took place in TTL. Thus, the competent prince of Silesia, Heinrich / Henryk the Pious managed not only to live longer, but also getting crowned king Henryk II of Poland, first one since 1079. Although many Piast princes continued to reign in other parts of Poland, his family could keep the king's title. In 1293, Poland attacked the Russian princedom of Halicz-Volhyn, taking about one third of the latter's territory. But now, Poland felt increasingly threatened by the Germans and the Przemyslids. The king tried to fight them in 1301 to break free, but this only lead to a coalition of the Teutonic Order, Bohemia, Moravia and the HRE under king Otto IV of Brandenburg formed against him. The war between Germans and Poles ended in 1308, not to the latter's favor. The Teutonic Order acquires Pommerellen (OTL West Prussia, the Poles also call it Eastern Pomerania), Silesia became a German fief; the western third went to Brandenburg, which earlier had acquired the Lower Lausitz / Lusatia, the rest was divided between the two Przemyslid lands, Bohemia and Moravia. As a consequence, king Boleslaw V was toppled by discontent nobles, who elected Kazimierz III new king, who made an "everlasting alliance" with the (in many ways still independent) rulers of Mazovia. In 1363, when the Anjou dynasty in Hungary died out, the nobles there elected Wladyslaw IV of Poland new king. But in 1371 already, this influence ended with the death of incompetent king Kazimierz IV.
