 Nevertheless, the emperor decided not to abandon his intentions to take control in a peaceful way over Bolko II's heritage.The death of his second wife Anna of Bavaria, mother of the late Wenceslaus, on 2 February 1353 gave him a new opportunity to obtain the Duchies; almost immediately, he asked Bolko II for the hand of his niece in marriage and the former agreement was renewed.The wedding took place in Buda, Hungary (where Anna had lived with her mother since the death of her father) on 27 May 1353.
