King Zsigmond. Zsigmond Lucemburgi (Sisgismund of Luxembourg), born in Nuremberg 1368, was betrothed to Mary of Hungary, eldest surviving daughter of King Louis the Great of Hungary and Poland in 1374, and as her husband became King of Hungary in 1387.
In 1396 Sigismund led the combined armies of Christendom in the very popular last crusade against the Turks.
After the dead of his opponent Jobst of Moravia he was elected King of the Romans in 1411. His coronation took place three years later in Aachen.
Zsigmond died in 1437. During his long reign the Royal castle of Buda probably became the largest Gothic palace of the late Middle Ages.
