The marriage strengthened the alliance between Bogislaw IX and King Władysław II Jagiełło against theState of the Teutonic Order, who feared losing the coastal land connecting them with theHoly Roman Empire. For this, the Order tried to prevent the wedding, and Bogislaw IX had to arrive in Poznań dressed like a pilgrim.
