Nashville, Tennessee, December 21st, 1957

"Mary Ann, do you think the tree needs more tinsel?" Denise asked her maid. Denise looked back at the woman as she nodded, throwing more of it on the tree,

"Damnit, woman... are you gonna use the whole pack?" coming down the stairs was Alfonso, who only came around for special appearances.

"Are you going to tell me how to put up the damn tree?"

"Well, it is crooked ..."

"You're crooked..." Denise mumbled,

"Cecelia, get your mother...." Alfonso said, straightening out his sweater. "Cecelia... Cecelia, Where's that girl off to now."

"I can't wait to see you either when you get here... My Teddy bear." Cecelia giggled while she was on the phone. She was supposed to be helping keep the peace between her mother and father, but instead, she was prepping dinner for the night. At least, that was her excuse.

"Can't wait to see you either, honey. I'll cover your neck with kisses when I get there."

"And then what else will you do to me," her fingers in the cable of the phone,

"Who's doing what to you..."

"Uh, what else will you do to me to keep my guitar playin' sharp."

"Let me guess, your mother just walked in,"

"Close."

"See you in an hour."

"Sounds perfect." she hung up, her heart racing, "What can I do for you, Daddy?" Cecelia asked, batting her long eyelashes as her father glanced at her, "Your mothers covering that damn tree in tinsel again." he looked at her noticing her flushed-out cheeks and the loved-on look in her eyes,

"Is it the silver or gold?" she questioned,

"Silver, and who was that on the phone?"

"Oh, no one... if it's the silver, just let her have it. That's what I've been doing for 22 years." she shrugged, walking past him,

"Does this no one have a name? Cause you've been talking to no one for quite some time."

"Daddy, if you don't want my mother to have a cow, pair it with these ornaments." the red glass Christmas decorations in hand,

"CECELIA!!!"

"Oh, gotta go,"

In the living room, the radio station had been playing new Christmas hits and some classic ones, but it seemed the radio wanted to be a bit cruel, as she heard.

"Santa, bring my baby back to me..."

Swaying with the music, Cecelia hadn't noticed the in-love smile on her face as she heard Elvis on the radio singing. Her mother playfully rolled her eyes as her father was suspicious.

"What's gotten into you, girl? That damn Elvis Presley bug."

"Elvis has gotten into her..." Midge mumbled, coming from the basement with more decorations. Cecelia shot her a glare as both her parents looked at her,

"Yes, Elvis has gotten into me, the bug for him," Cecelia tried to put on a smile that didn't give too much away.

Her mother knew she and Elvis were close. Denise would even suspect, like anyone else, that they were dating from their many scandalous newspaper photos that she had to keep taking down, but she wouldn't pry yet.

"I just don't get it. Back in our day, we used to dance."

"Oh shit..." Midge mumbled,

"What he's doing ain't dancing, Cilli..."

"Then what do you call it." she laughed,

"Gyration, I mean the way his hips move..." Alfonso grumbled, "Disgrace puttin filth like that on TV."

"I think that filth is just fine..."

"And his hair is too long. Looks like he's trouble."

"Mother!" Cecelia looked at her,

"Midge, am I wrong?"

"No, no, you're not." Midge laughed,

"Well, I get a flip out of his style. Besides, I do what he does but in heels."

"And dresses that leave nothing to the imagination," Alfonso said,

"You could do it better. Now hand Mary Ann another bulb, please."

The winds were howling, and the air was icy cold. Sitting in the pink Cadillac was Gladys, who was in the backseat. Elvis was sitting in the passenger seat with all the different desserts she had made, and Vernon, who was driving. The radio was playing Christmas hits, and they were only two hours away from Nashville,

"So you really like this girl, Son?" Vernon questioned as Elvis took a big sigh.

"Yeh, she makes me all warm and tingly inside."

"Elvis!" Gladys playfully slapped him on the arm.

"Not like that, Mama..." he blushed, "Well, sometimes," he mumbled as Vernon glanced over at him.

"And now a new hit from Cecelia and The Garnets Santa Baby."

Both Gladys and Vernon watched how their son nearly glew at just the mention of her name. Although she had told him, she didn't want him getting himself a girl from the business. Gladys could excuse Cecelia. After all, she was a true lady despite those tight Monroe dresses.

"Come and trim my Christmas tree..."

"And Leave the New Record by Elvis Presley..."

"I really do believe in you..."

"Let's see if you believe in me."

"Ain't she somethin..." he swooned as Gladys laughed a little. She'd never seen her son so lovesick before, and for once, she was okay with it. "So, have you met her folks yet?" Vernon asked as he came back to reality.

"I've met her mother. I don't think she likes me none."

"She's a mother. We're protective over our babies." Gladys winked,

"What about her pa... You met him yet."

"Well, it's complicated with him." Elvis sighed a little,

"Whadya mean, is he dead or something?"

"I'll leave that to her to tell ya."

"Oh, will you get off my ass, Denise!"

"Why does everything have to be a struggle for you!" Denise responded as Cecelia sighed, sitting on the couch.

"You go left, and I go right!"

"Yeah, just how you went right into another woman and left your dau-!"

"WILL YOU TWO STOP IT!" Cecelia then sunk deeper into the couch as they both looked at her,

"Butt out, will you," Alfonso said as she went upstairs to her room, her white falcon nice and polished as she strummed to keep down the noise. Cecelia loved the holidays because it was the only time her family felt like a family. Strumming her guitar, a glimpse of a pink Cadillac caught her eye as it pulled into the double-gated driveway of the mansion.

"Now, who the hell is this..." Alfonso grumbled, walking towards the door, as he saw the pink Cadillac in their driveway. Cecelia came racing down as both Midge and Denise knew who it was. As Manfred, their butler, opened the door, there was Cecelia dressed like Vera-Ellen, hugging.

"ELVIS, YOU MADE IT! Cecelia was wrapped around him tightly as he hugged her back. "Was the trip tiresome? Are you hungry? Are you okay?"

"It's good to see you too." he ruffled her hair.

"Hey, cool it! It took twenty-five minutes to set these curls."

"Eh, don't get so bent about it, mama." he winked as she rolled her eyes at him.

"Are you going to let Mr. Presley in..."

"Mrs. Valmos, nice to see you again,"

"Mhmm." she nodded,

"Hope you don't mind. I bought my baby's with me."

"Babies?"

"His parents." Cecelia smiled, "You'll love 'em, mama. They're swell folks."

"Excuse me?" she mumbled,

Gladys and Vernon had walked in as both parties met eyes,

"Alfonso?"

"Vernon?"

"Gladys!"

"Denise!"

"Anyone else confused?" Elvis asked as Cecelia was holding his other suitcase,

"I've stopped asking questions years ago, sugar," Cecelia mumbled as Elvis laughed,

"So..."

"hmm..." Cecelia blushed, "Got lost in your eyes again." she nudged him as Midge laughed,

"Elvis, your rooms on the left third door, down."Midge smiled,

"You evil little!"

"Cecelia, you didn't tell his parents were Gladys and Vernon?" Denise looked shocked,

"You never asked," she mumbled, her hands on the railing of the steps, Elvis behind her,

"And where are you two going?" Alfonso asked, glaring at them both. Cecelia gulped as Elvis looked at her,

"The music room, our work is never done," she chuckled,

"Mhmm, Well, be down before dinner." he glared, "And keep the door open. I wouldn't want anything to happen."

"Oh, it already has," Elvis mumbled,

"What was that."

"Nothing, sir."

Sitting on her lush bed set, Elvis leaned in and kissed his arm on her back as she put her hand on his chest, "El, wait..."

"What's wrong?"

"Doors open." she went to close it as Elvis looked her up and down,

"Cece... what's really wrong."

"Nothing..."

"Cecelia Shanel Valmos..."

"Okay, so I haven't told them we're together yet, 'cause they've been fightin' non-stop, and it's driving me up a damn wall all day!" she huffed as Elvis kissed her cheek, "So we gotta stay quiet about it?"

"Til the moments, right."

"You're lucky I love you."

"I'm blessed you love me," Elvis was waiting for a kiss as she flopped on her bed face first and screamed into it.

"You o-"

"CECELIA COME HELP MAKE DINNER!"

"AAAAAAAA."

"Kay..."

It was 6:30 p.m., and Cecelia, Gladys, and Denise had finished setting dinner on the table. "Baby, do you want any green beans on your plate?" Cecelia said as Elvis cleared his throat. Both parents looked at them, "Baby, it's a new way we crazy kids are referring to our friends, right baby!" she snapped her finger at Elvis.

"R-Right baby-o." He winked as Gladys and Vernon tried not to laugh. Oh, she was definitely perfect for Elvis,

"So, tell me, Presley, that uh movie Jailhouse Rock, are you really anything like that Vincent fellow... Or are you more like that Deke character."

If there'd been a time that Cecelia wanted to die, now would be it.

"You know... I like to think I got a bit of both in me." he laughed as Denise chimed in,

"A rebel without a cause is what you kids call it?"

"Never did understand that phrase." Vernon laughed as Gladys joined in.

"So Cecelia, tell us about the cover, My Boy Elvis. What made you wanna cover it," Vernon asked as Cecelia felt a hot heat on her like a spotlight,

"Yeah... what made you," Alfonso asked,

"Well, I thought it was a swingin' tune by a swingin' young lady, and uh, as a fan of Elvis and his style. I figured, why not? They call me Lady Elvis anyway. I might as well lean into it." she answered, nearly leaning in to kiss him as Denise noticed.

"Well, I think it's cute," Gladys said.

"Yeah, like a desperate little girl with a crush."

"SO... question time, how'd you all know each other!" Cecelia asked as She turned to face Elvis, her eyes wide as he rubbed his temples.

"Well, it was May 1934 in Tupelo." Vernon started as both Elvis and Cecelia had listened while he was picking off her plate, something the two enjoyed doing to each other, "Just before you both were soon to be born in January." Gladys added, "Still very funny to me." she smiled a bit as if they had all remembered the day,

"We had a tour in Mississippi, and no one would let us stay in any inns cause colored folk couldn't," Alfonso said as he looked at Denise, his hand brushed against hers as she held onto it.

"So we ran into Vernon and Gladys,"

"And we offered our home to you two."

"And we offered to cook." Denise smiled, "We kept in touch until about 1948 and..." Then it hit Denise and Gladys,

"This can't be the same Elvis that came in third place in that-"

"That's him," Vernon said.

"That's not the same Cecelia. Who was a tree as short as a bush!"

"Still am... haven't grown past Junior high, really." she joked.

"But that's our girl." Alfonso and Denise both looked at each other, a look of actual romance as Cecelia and Elvis got an idea in their heads.

"Elvis, would you like to help me with the uh dishes."

"The games coming on soon,"

Cecelia glared,

"Dishes." he smiled, walking into the kitchen,

"Cil... what's going on in that brain of yours."

"How good can you play matchmaker..." Denise asked as Gladys snickered, looking at them in the kitchen

"You want us to matchmake your parents?" Elvis asked,

"They'd make a cute couple." Gladys played along.

"They won't argue," Cecelia smirked,

"I don't know..." Both Elvis and Alfonso said,

"It'll be fun!"

𝕋𝕎𝕆 𝕊𝕀𝕊𝕋𝔼ℝ𝕊, 𝕊𝔸𝕄𝔼 𝔻𝔼𝕊𝕋𝕀ℕ𝕐

“So the younger daughter Jadwiga, aged nine, was crowned queen in Krakow in 1384 (...) The young queen Jadwiga was then urged to break her engagement to William of Habsburg and to marry instead Jagiello, the ruler of neighboring Lithuania. He was elected king of Poland in absentia, on the condition that he take up residence in Poland. Four years after Jadwiga's coronation, Wladyslaw-Jagiello was crowned king in Krakow, and the couple governed the country together until Jadwiga's early death in 1399 or 1400. Since no children had survived, the king's legitimacy was contestable, but he remained on the throne after marrying Anne of Cilly, one of the closest relatives of the former reigning house. A very similar case was that of Jadwiga's elder sister Maria of Hungary. Six days after the death of her father Louis the Great, the twelve-year-old girl was crowned at Szekesfehervar by the archbishop of Esztergom as if she were a king, not by the bishop of Veszprem as if a queen-consort. The queen-mother, Elisabeth of Bosnia, was her guardian.(...) Three years later Maria was married at fifteen to Sigismund of Luxembourg-Bohemia, who received only the title "regni Hungarie tutor," not "rex," nor was he crowned in 1385. Maria ceded to Sigismund the i.w regni el diadema, though this did not mean that she totally resigned the queenship. Since documents were issued in both their names, she was still regarded as the reigning queen while Sigismund was co-regent and commander-in-chief of the army The marriage was without issue, and after Maria's death in 1392 (or 1395) Sigismund's title to the throne was contested by 32 nobles. Sigismund condemned them to death; they were publicly beheaded in Ofen. He then legitimized his kingship by marrying Barbara of Cilly, one of the nearest relatives of the old Hungarian kings. The parallels between the queenships of Maria of Hungary and her sister Jadwiga of Poland are obvious. In both cases the queens died without surviving issue, and their husbands remained in power by marrying other cognates, i.e., relatives through female lines, of the old dynasty”. - Armin Wolf, "Reigning Queens in Medieval Europe: When, Where, and Why".

A history of tennis fashion and skirts: Why are they still such a must?

On the first night of the U.S. Open, Serena Williams took the high road and responded to her catsuit ban by wearing a fabulous black tutu.

The French Tennis Federation president, Bernard Giudicelli, recently said Williams’s Wakanda-inspired catsuit (her words) “will no longer be accepted,” during an interview with Tennis magazine. “One must respect the game and the place.”

Discussion soon erupted on what type of tennis attire is considered appropriate or not. Tennis legend Billie Jean King chimed in on the conversation, slamming French Open officials for the ban. “The policing of women’s bodies must end,” she wrote in a Twitter post. “The ‘respect’ that’s needed is for the exceptional talent ⁦@serenawilliams⁩ brings to the game. Criticizing what she wears to work is where the true disrespect lies.”

Williams didn’t let the controversy deter her from winning her first U.S. Open match against Magda Linette on Monday. For the occasion, she paired her black tutu with an edgy leather moto jacket, asymmetrical leotard, and white sneakers. The look is part of the new “Queen” collection inspired by the tennis star and made in a collaboration between Virgil Abloh, the acclaimed Off-White designer, and Nike.

With this look, the 23-time Grand Slam winner continues her stride as a statement-making fashion star on the tennis court, and, as history shows — she’s not alone. Anne White was the first player to wear a catsuit on the court, which caused quite a stir at Wimbledon in 1985. Unconventional tennis fashions have been worn by male players too. A notable example is Andre Agassi, who wore denim shorts to the U.S. Open in 1988. Serena Williams longtime rival, Maria Sharapova, explored creative fashion as well, wearing a tuxedo-style blouse at Wimbledon in 2008.

Despite these fashion-making moments, the iconic tennis skirt continues to be the key sartorial piece in the game. Above, a look at how tennis fashion has changed over the years and why the skirt endures.

During the 1900s, long-sleeved blouses and long maxi skirts were the style of choice for tennis players. “Tennis started out in the Victorian era in England as a lawn sport for the aristocracy,” said Ben Rothenberg, author of The Stylish Life: Tennis, on CNN.

Modest tennis fashion dominated the era, as seen below on a tennis player who wears a pussy-bow blouse with ballooned sleeves, long white skirt, and white sneakers, all covering up nearly every inch of skin.

The 1920s saw a loosening of dress codes with the introduction of sleeveless blouses and higher hemlines. Pleats also became a popular stylistic choice.

Here, Olympic and Wimbledon champion Suzanne Lenglen wears a knee-length pleated skirt. She accessorizes the look with a soft head wrap.

In the 1930s, skirts and hemlines continued to hit the knee, but pantyhose was no longer required in the dress code. Women began to wear polo shorts or another alternative: drop waist dresses or those cinched at the waist.

By the 1940s, women embraced shorts for greater mobility on the court, but they still kept them classy (of course). Here, American tennis player Pauline Betz wears a short-sleeve blouse tucked into her high-waisted, soft pleated shorts and a belt to tie it all together.

In the 1950s, when Marilyn Monroe’s famous windy skirt photograph became an iconic moment in film history, tennis players like Lea Percioli bent the rules of traditional tennis fashion.

Her style on the court was often featured in the press, where Percioli embraced short skirts and dresses, even if that meant showing more than she planned on.

By the 1960s, mod fashion was front and center. Women took a more playful approach, embracing sleeveless tops and shirts with stripes, gingham, and other graphic prints like those seen here on Virginia Wade and Lorna Greveille-Collins of England and Marlys Burel of France.

The 1970s was all about psychedelia. Colorful prints and patterns dominated the fashion scene, and this influenced tennis fashions, too, as exhibited here in a look worn by Martina Navratilova.

The 1980s witnessed a controversial look by American player Anne White, who wore a white spandex catsuit by designer Ted Tinling during her first match at Wimbledon. Little did she know that Serena Williams would sport a similar catsuit at the French Open more than 30 years later.

The 1990s were all about bright colors, loud prints, and plenty of scrunchies on the tennis court. German champ Steffi Graf wears a colorful floral skirt with a matching polo shirt and white scrunchie in her hair at the French Open in 1995.

By the 2000s, brands like Adidas and Nike were emblazoned on tennis outfits of the top athletes. Here, Russian player Anna Kournikova wears head-to-toe Adidas.

In 2008, tennis champions Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova pushed the envelope of traditional tennis attire at Wimbledon, a bastion of traditionalism. Williams opted for a white trench coat, while Sharapova wore a tuxedo-style pleated blouse tucked into white shorts — and both looks were designed by Nike.

Unfortunately, Sharapova wasn’t able to wear her new look for too long, as she was eliminated in the second round. Her winning opponent, Alla Kudryavtseva, had this to say of Sharapova’s look, “I was pleased to beat her: I didn’t like her outfit.”

In 2010, tennis fashion took a more scandalous approach when Venus Williams wore a lingerie-like, sheer black-lace dress with red piping, designed by Williams for her fashion label, EleVen.

In 2011, Venus Williams continued her fashion stride, sporting atypical tennis attire.

At the Australian Open, Williams sported a yellow woven, cut-out tank with a splash of color.

In 2015, Maria Sharapova traded in her 2008 tuxedo shirt for a classic stripe shirt over what would become known as the “Nike Maria Paris dress,” an adjoining white racerback tank top connected to a pleated navy mini.

In 2016, Serena Williams sported a classic all-white look in deference to Wimbledon’s all-white policy.

In 2017, 24-year-old Sloane Stephens won the U.S. Open women’s singles competition wearing a sherbet-orange tank dress and matching visor and shoes by Under Armour.

In 2018, Serena Williams debuts her Wakanda-inspired black catsuit at the French Open, which was designed to help prevent blood clots, a health issue she has been prone to.

The catsuit came under scrutiny by French Tennis Federation president Bernard Giudicelli, who recently said the style would “no longer be accepted.”

In the wake of this controversy, Williams debuted a brand-new look for the U.S. Open on August 27: a black tutu skirt, made by Off-White and Nike.

“Uma vendedora de calças dona de uma loja de varejo em Vancouver foi se confessar na Itália com Padre Pio e teve sua absolvição foi recusada: “Ele ordenou que ela voltasse para casa no Canadá e se livrasse de todo seu estoque, e não desse qualquer um dos itens para as pessoas que poderiam usá-los, e se ela quisesse sua absolvição, poderia voltar a Itália e recebê-la, só depois que ela realizasse impiedosamente suas ordens” [1]. “Shorts e mangas curtas, até em crianças não era aceito pelo Padre Pio.

E L I S A B E T H OF L U X E M B O U R G 2/?

Elisabeth was the only daughter of Sigismund, the Holy Roman Emperor, with his second wife, Barbara of Cilli. Elisabeth’s mother was very unpopular with the nobility, thus they accused her of adultery. Subsequently, her mother was sent into exile, and Elisabeth accompanied her.

This could possibly point to the fact that during this time period Emperor Sigismund might’ve doubted her legitimacy as his own daughter, even though at the time she was considered heiress presumptive. Sigismund and Barbara eventually reconciled in 1419.

Her own father’s claim to the Kingdoms of Hungary and Croatia were in fact quite slim. Elizabeth married Albert of Hapsburg, then the fifth Duke of Austria, in 1422 with a lavish formal ceremony. A treaty brought up by the Hapsburgs and her father concluded that Elisabeth would remain the heiress presumptive as long as she was her father’s only child. If she should have a sister, Elisabeth would choose one of her father’s kingdoms (Bohemia & Hungary) and the younger sister would inherit the other.

However, the treaty also stated that if Sigismund would have a male child before his death, Elisabeth would inherit none of her father’s kingdoms or domains, they would all go to the male heir. Sigismund died 9th December 1437 without having had any more issue.

By the time her father had died Elisabeth had had two daughters by Albert named Anne and Elizabeth.

Anne of Austria (12 April 1432 - 13 November 1462)

Elizabeth of Austria (1436/1439 - 30 August 1505)

Upon her father’s death, the Diet said that Elisabeth’s husband should govern only "with her consent and approval.” Elisabeth and her husband accepted the conditions on 18 December, thereafter they were elected Queen and King of Hungary.

Her husband was quick to die, being laid to rest in late 1439. Elisabeth was pregnant at this time and she believed this child was to be a boy. She acted as de-facto ruler of Hungary and Bohemia until 1st January 1440 when the council elected Vladislaus of Poland. Elisabeth seemed to accept this decision, that is until she crowned her son, now born, Ladislaus V with the stolen Holy Crown of Hungary.

Elisabeth left her youngest daughter and her son in the care of Frederick III. In 1442 a negotiation was attempted by Cardinal Cesarini. Elisabeth and Vladislaus of Poland met and exchanged gifts. Vladislaus gave her fur, Elisabeth died shortly after. Rumors spread like wildfire about her being poisoned.

Her only son, Ladislaus, didn’t make it to the age of 18 and died three months short of his majority. His sisters, on the other hand, had issue and in their descendants, some of these kingdoms the family lost tragically were restored to them. I have barely touched the surface about the history of this Empress and her family because many of her descendants heavily influenced European politics during the Renaissance. Thus, the next one of these that I shall make will be about one of her two daughters, Anne or Elizabeth.

QUEEN ANNE OF CILLI (1386 — 21 may 1416)

Anne of Cilli was born probably in the 1386 as a daughter of William, Count of Cilli and Anne of Poland. Her father died when she was around ten years of age and her mother had remarried to Ulrich, Duke of Teck. Because of that, Anne was left under the care of her father's brother, Herman. According to the legend, in 1399 King Jadwiga of Poland on her deathbed told Władysław Jagiełło, her current husband, to marry Anne of Cilli so he could still rule Poland. Anne was a granddaughter of Casimir The Great, the last king from the Piast dynasty, so having a descendant of him as a wife would strengthen Władysław's position on the throne. One year later a delegation composed of Jan of Oblichów, Jan of Ostrowiec and Hinczka of Rogów came to Cilli with a proposition of marriage between King of Poland and Anne. Herman, Count of Cilli immediately agreed and in 16th July 1401 Countess come to Cracow. She was welcomed by Poles with joy, but according to the Jan Długosz her future husband wasn't that happy. The wedding was postponed and Anne sent to a convent to learn polish language. Finally in 29th January 1402, in the Wawel Cathedral, their wedding took place. There were many guests, including Vytautas, the Grand Duke of Lithuania. One year later Anne was crowned a Queen of Poland and was able meet her mother for the first time since the Duchess left Celje.

The marriage of Anne and Władysław was quite cold at the beginning. The king often left the capital, leaving his wife alone. He was also known to be suspicious, introverted person, so it took him a while to trust Anne. It also didn't help that the queen had been accused of marital infidelity several times. The first time was in 1407: Klemens of Moskorzew accused Anne of cheating on her husband with Jakub of Kobylan and Mikołaj Chrząstowski and the proof was supposed to be the sudden collapse of the floor in Queen's chamber. King at first believed in that and locked Jakub. Polish nobles during the convention in Niepołomice defended Anne and the woman was found innocent. But year later she was accused of having an affair with Andrzej of Tęczyn — this case did not reach a public hearing. In 1411 the Queen was accused of having the infidelity with archbishop Kurowski, but some sources says that actually Anne accused the man for a inappropriate attitude to her person. Kurowski died during a trip to the royal court to clear things up. For a first few years of marriage Anne of Cilli didn't give a birth to a child. It is known that she had several miscarriages. In the 1408 their first and only child, Princess Jadwiga, was born. Władysław was disappointed that the baby turned out to be a girl, but for a many years she was considered the heiress of the kingdom and a possible future king.

Anne hated the Teutonic Order as much as her husband and unlike her predecessor, urged Władysław to go to war with them. And he did that. In 1410 after the battle of Grunwald, Jagiełło sent two laters to inform about his victory: one of them was sent to Anne. It is the proof that their relationship develop during the years and Władysław started to like her and see as a friend and partner.

The Queen accompanied her husband during the trip to Hungary, where Jagiełło was negotiating with Sigismund of Luxembourg. There she met with her cousin, Barbara, who was the second wife of Sigismund. Thanks to Anne, the polish regalia, which King Louis The Great once brought with him to Buda, returned to Poland. Anne also visited Lithuania and observe the Christanisation of Samogitia. In early 1415 she travelled with her husband and even met Alexander of Moldavia in Sniatyn.

Anne came back to Cracow and Władysław travelled to Lithuania. Probably at the end of 1415, the queen got sick. In 1416 a special envoy was sent to king with a information that Anne was seriously ill. Despite the news, Jagiełło didn't hurry back to Cracow. He approached the capitol in May and few days later, 21th May 1416 the queen died. She was buried in the Wawel's Cathedral, near to altor of Saint Dorothy.
