He did not hold his authority personally.His mother, Elisabeth,did it instead of him. He died in 1382.His older daughter Catherine was supposed to become the Queen. However, there was a civil war in Poland and one of its sides objected Andegawen's authority. Furthermore, Polish gentry chose young Jadwiga to be the queen. In 1387, she visited Rus Halicka to recover this land for Poland, as Rus was under Hungarian reign since her father had lost it. The mission was succesful. Jadwiga died 17th, July, 1399 in Krakow.
