Segismundo fue una de las fuerzas impulsoras del Concilio de Constanza (1414-1418) que puso fin al Cisma Papal , pero que también condujo a las Guerras Husitas que dominaron el período posterior de su vida.

Stibor atacó a Nowy Sącz y lo quemó hasta los cimientos, pero después de eso regresó con su ejército al castillo de Beckov .
He was also King of Italy from 1431, and of Germany from 1411. Aunque las dos dignidades de Rey de los Romanos y Rey de Bohemia aumentaron considerablemente su importancia y, de hecho, lo convirtieron en el jefe temporal nominal de la cristiandad , no conferían ningún aumento de poder y lo avergonzaban económicamente. On the death of Wenceslas in 1419, Sigismund inherited the Bohemian crown, but the series of wars fought against the Hussites during the decade of the 1420s, most of which were military disasters for the king’s party, delayed his coronation. He was crowned emperor in Rome on 31 May 1433, and after obtaining his demands from the Pope returned to Bohemia, where he was recognized as king in 1436, though his power was little more than nominal. On the death of her father in 1382, his betrothed, Mary, became queen of Hungary and Sigismund married her in 1385 in Zólyom (today Zvolen). Stibor de Stiboricz era de origen polaco y de la línea principal del poderoso Clan de Ostoja que también se había opuesto a elegir a Jagiello como rey de Polonia. Este paso convirtió a la familia Hohenzollern en una de las más importantes de Alemania.
Before Sigismund died, he ordered to be buried next to the king saint.[13]. Segismundo le dio un anillo a la madre del niño cuando nació, pero un día en el bosque un cuervo se lo robó y el anillo solo se recuperó después de que el pájaro fue cazado. Sigismund’s frequent absence from Germany in these years finally caused the princes to form the Union of Bingen, ostensibly to conduct the war against the Hussites but also to protect themselves against the king’s inroads. King Louis the Great of Hungary and Poland always had a good and close relationship with Emperor Charles IV, and Sigismund was betrothed to Louis' eldest daughter, Mary, in 1374, when he was six years old.
His coronation was deferred until 8 November 1414, when it took place at Aachen. Deprived of his authority in Hungary, Sigismund then turned his attention to securing the succession in Germany and Bohemia, and was recognized by his childless half-brother Wenceslaus IV as Vicar-General of the whole Empire.
[9] By his second wife, Barbara of Celje, he left an only daughter, Elisabeth of Luxembourg, who was married to Albert V, duke of Austria (later German king as Albert II) whom Sigismund named as his successor.
Peregrina varias veces a su tumba en Nagyvárad.

Segismundo murió el 9 de diciembre de 1437 en Znojmo ( alemán : Znaim ), Moravia (ahora República Checa ), y como se ordenó en vida, fue enterrado en Nagyvárad , Hungría (hoy Oradea , Rumania ), junto a la tumba del rey San Ladislao. Sigismund personally led an army of almost 50,000 "crusaders" against the Croats and Bosnians, which culminated in 1408 with the Battle of Dobor, and a massacre of about 200 noble families, many of them victors of numerous battles against the Ottomans.

He had granted him a safe-conduct and protested against his imprisonment; and the reformer was burned during his absence. This struggle in turn led to a war with the Republic of Venice, as Ladislaus had sold the Dalmatian cities to the Venetians for 100,000 ducats before leaving for his own land. The council ended in 1418, solving the Schism and — of great consequence to Sigismund's future career — having the Czech religious reformer, Jan Hus, burned at the stake for heresy in July 1415. According to this, John Hunyadi was Sigismund's illegitimate son. In 1428 he led another campaign against the Turks, but again with few results.
On the death of Rupert, the movement for the reinstatement of Wenceslas immediately lost headway. [citation needed] Elisabeth of Bohemia was thus the only surviving legitimate offspring of Sigismund.

Sigismund’s expansionist policy led him to intervene in the struggles between his half brother, the German king Wenceslas, who was also king of Bohemia (as Wenceslas IV), and the Bohemian nobility.

La madre de Hermann, Catalina (de la Casa de Kotromanic ), y la madre de María, la Reina Isabel de Bosnia, eran hermanas o primas que eran hermanas adoptivas. Although the two dignities of King of the Romans and King of Bohemia added considerably to his importance, and indeed made him the nominal temporal head of Christendom, they conferred no increase of power and financially embarrassed him. Los bohemios, que desconfiaban de él como el traidor de Hus , pronto se vieron en armas; y la llama se avivó cuando Segismundo declaró su intención de proseguir la guerra contra los herejes.
