Sigismund of Luxemburg KG (Hungarian: Zsigmond, Croatian: Žigmund, Czech: Zikmund) (14 February 1368 – 9 December 1437) was King of Hungary, of Croatia from 1387, of Bohemia from 1419, and Holy Roman Emperor for four years from 1433 until 1437, the last Emperor of the House of Luxemburg. He was also King of Italy from 1431, and of Germany from 1411. Sigismund was one of the driving forces behind the Council of Constance that ended the Papal Schism, but which in the end also led to the Hussite Wars that dominated the later period of Sigismund's life. He was buried in Nagyvárad (now called Oradea, in Romania) next to the tomb of the King Saint Ladislaus I of Hungary.
