Sigismund of Luxemburg (1368-1437) was King of Hungary and Croatia from 1387, of Bohemia from 1419 and Holy Roman Emperor for four years from 1433 until 1437. He was the last Emperor from the House of Luxemburg. He was also King of Italy from 1431 and of Germany from 1411. Sigismund was one of the motivating forces behind the Council of Constance which ended the Papal Schism but also led to the Hussite Wars which dominated the later years of Sigismund’s life. He was buried in Nagyvárad, Kingdom of Hungary (now in Romania) next to the tomb of the Saint King Ladislaus I of Hungary.
