Their stay in Vilnius was described as happy, living in a palace and a court strongly influenced by the Italian Renaissance: Catherine and Anna were allowed to compose their own separate households and socialized with the aristocracy.<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceB_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceB-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Marriage_negotiations">Marriage negotiations</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Catherine_Jagiellon&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Marriage negotiations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Catherine was described as the most beautiful of her sisters, but she was married late for a princess of the era because her family wanted to ensure a marriage of the highest political status for Poland, and the marriages proposed to her demanded protracted negotiations which ultimately came to nothing. In 1548, she was proposed marriage to by both <a href="/wiki/Albert_Alcibiades,_Margrave_of_Brandenburg-Kulmbach" title="Albert Alcibiades, Margrave of Brandenburg-Kulmbach">Albert Alcibiades, Margrave of Brandenburg-Kulmbach</a> and Duke <a href="/wiki/Albert_of_Prussia" class="mw-redirect" title="Albert of Prussia">Albert of Prussia</a>, who both preferred her to her sisters Anna and Sophia.

The religious issue was not considered a serious obstacle by her brother, and the Catholic policy in Poland was at that time still tolerant toward Protestantism. The Polish-Swedish alliance was a wish her brother entertained for several years, and it had in fact been suggested already in 1526, that time between her half-sister <a href="/wiki/Hedwig_Jagiellon,_Electress_of_Brandenburg" title="Hedwig Jagiellon, Electress of Brandenburg">Hedwig</a> and King <a href="/wiki/Gustav_I_of_Sweden" class="mw-redirect" title="Gustav I of Sweden">Gustav I of Sweden</a>. In 1555–56, Sigismund II Augustus suggested to King Gustav I that one of the four Swedish princes, preferably <a href="/wiki/Eric_XIV_of_Sweden" title="Eric XIV of Sweden">Eric</a> or his brother <a href="/wiki/John_III_of_Sweden" title="John III of Sweden">John</a>, should marry either his sister Anna or Catherine, and he sent portraits of the princesses to the Swedish royal court.<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceB_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceB-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Eric was at that time proposing to marry the future queen <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_I_of_England" class="mw-redirect" title="Elizabeth I of England">Elizabeth I of England</a>, however, a proposal he was not willing to give up for several years. There was talk of Catherine marrying John, but Sigismund II Augustus was somewhat reluctant to allow his younger sister to marry before the eldest, Anna, and this created a problem. The negotiations were drawn out, and in 1560, Gustav I died and all negotiations were closed. </p><p>In August 1560, during the <a href="/wiki/Livonian_war" class="mw-redirect" title="Livonian war">Livonian war</a>, Czar <a href="/wiki/Ivan_the_Terrible" title="Ivan the Terrible">Ivan the Terrible</a>, recently widowed, suggested a marriage between himself and Catherine in order to create peace and settle the differences between Poland and Russia.<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceB_2-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceB-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Her brother viewed the proposal favourably and a Russian delegation visited the Polish court in Vilnius.

Erik XIV gave no definite answer. John was willing to marry Catherine, but not Anna. Sigismund II Augustus was still somewhat reluctant to allow his younger sister to marry before his older one, which created a problem. Magnus eventually expressed himself willing to marry Anna to enable John to marry Catherine, but the negotiations initially led to nothing and the Swedish king was not willing to take a stand on the issue. In October, John resumed the negotiations of marriage between himself and Catherine on his own initiative and without the consent of Eric XIV, during a time when Sweden under Eric XIV was fighting Poland in the <a href="/wiki/Livonian_war" class="mw-redirect" title="Livonian war">Livonian war</a>. John viewed the Polish king as an important ally and Catherine's Italian inheritance from her mother as important assets in his personal ambitions. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Duchess_of_Finland">Duchess of Finland</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Catherine_Jagiellon&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Duchess of Finland"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On 4 October 1562, Catherine was married in the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Palace_of_Lithuania" class="mw-redirect" title="Royal Palace of Lithuania">Lower Castle</a> of <a href="/wiki/Vilnius" title="Vilnius">Vilnius</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lithuania" title="Lithuania">Lithuania</a>, to <a href="/wiki/John_III_of_Sweden" title="John III of Sweden">Duke John of Finland</a>, the second son of <a href="/wiki/Gustav_I_of_Sweden" class="mw-redirect" title="Gustav I of Sweden">Gustav I</a> and half-brother of the then-reigning King <a href="/wiki/Eric_XIV_of_Sweden" title="Eric XIV of Sweden">Eric XIV</a>. John had not received his brother's permission for the marriage and there were already tensions between them since John pursued an independent foreign policy. The marriage was conducted in a Catholic ceremony. Catherine brought a large entourage and luxurious possessions, but the inheritance from her mother was actually never given to her. The material dowry she brought with her to Finland, however, greatly impressed her contemporaries: she brought with her an impressive amount of silver items, among them the first forks used in Finland; hundreds of garments in black, yellow, red and purple satin, silk and velvet; as well as an entourage of Poles, Italians and Germans, among them a Polish cook and an Italian vine master.<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceB_2-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceB-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The couple set up house in <a href="/wiki/Turku_Castle" title="Turku Castle">Turku Castle</a> in <a href="/wiki/Turku" title="Turku">Turku</a>, <a href="/wiki/Finland" title="Finland">Finland</a>.

Catherine was used as a valuable hostage by Eric, but because of her, the imprisonment was lenient. She was personally treated with consideration by king Eric, who allowed her greater freedom than John, such as walking in the area around the castle, and generally granted all requests she made in order to make her imprisonment more comfortable, with the exception of anything that had to do with her Catholic religion, such as the access to Catholic priests, which he denied.<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceB_2-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceB-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> She asked for the larger part of her entourage to be sent home, only keeping some Polish ladies-in-waiting and her <a href="/wiki/Court_dwarf" title="Court dwarf">Court dwarf</a> and personal confidante <a href="/wiki/Dorothea_Ostrelska" title="Dorothea Ostrelska">Dorothea Ostrelska</a>.
