     "Charles Martel (Hungarian: Martell Károly; 8 September 1271 – 12 August 1295) of the Angevin dynasty was the eldest son of king Charles II of Naples and Maria of Hungary,[1] the daughter of King Stephen V of Hungary.
     "The 18-year-old Charles Martel was set up by Pope Nicholas IV and the ecclesiastical party as the titular King of Hungary (1290–1295) as successor of his maternal uncle,[1] the childless Ladislaus IV of Hungary against whom the Pope had already earlier declared a crusade.
     "He never managed to govern the Kingdom of Hungary, where an agnate of the Árpád dynasty, his cousin Andrew III of Hungary ruled at that time. Charles Martel was, however, successful in asserting his claim in the Kingdom of Croatia, then in personal union with Hungary.
     "Charles Martel died of the plague in Naples. His son, Charles (or Charles Robert), later succeeded in winning the throne of Hungary.[2]
     "Charles was apparently known personally to Dante: in the Divine Comedy, the poet speaks warmly of and to Charles's spirit when they meet in the Heaven of Venus (in Paradiso VIII).
Family
     "He married Klementia of Habsburg (d. 1295), daughter of Rudolph I, Holy Roman Emperor.[3] They had three children:
1. Charles I of Hungary (1288–1342), King of Hungary[4]
2. Beatrix (1290–1354, Grenoble), married on 25 May 1296 Jean II de La Tour du Pin, Dauphin du Viennois[4]

      ; Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor, King of Bohemia and Hungary, 1368-1437, Elector of Brandenburg. When the Emperor Charles IV died, he was followed by his 26-year-old son, Wenzel. His younger son, Sigismund, was only 10. However, Wenzel not only preferred hunting but was so fond of his dogs that he took them to bed with him. Indeed, according to one story, his first wife, Johanna of Bavaria, had been bitten to death by one of them. Wenzel took to drink and, roaming the streets at night, would violate the wives of respectable citizens even in their own homes. Upon his father's death, Sigismund had been made Markgraf of Brandenburg but was educated in Hungary. Here he took as his first wife Maria, the heir to the Hungarian crown; and in 1387 he was crowned King of Hungary.

Sigismund had grown up tall, slim and good-looking; but he, too, was a drinker, a womanizer, and cruel. On the other hand, he was also charming, ambitious and could speak seven languages.

Sigismund, apart from trying to stabilize his power in Hungary, had to contend with invading Turks. These incursions resulted in a crusade against Constantinople proclaimed by Pope Boniface IX and led by Sigismund. However, quarrels amongst the knights as well as with the Pope resulted in their failure. Sigismund then returned to Hungary and secured it from further invasions.

After thirteen years, the Empire had tired of Wenzel and, as Sigismund at that time was fighting the Turks, Wenzel was deposed in 1400 to be replaced by Rupert III, Count Palatine of The Rhine, who died in 1410. In these ten years, Sigismund was confronted with the doctrine of Johannes Huss, who maintained that all men were equal and God should be worshipped according to one's conscience and not according to the rulings of the Vatican.

However, in 1411, Sigismund was elected Emperor only to be confronted by a far greater evil: schisms in the church had produced three popes, each excommunicating the others, and each being supported by different countries. Wycliff and Huss not only complained of the wealth, immorality and corruption of the clergy, they also questioned the authority of the Papal position. When Huss was captured, Sigismund at first wanted to release him, but the cardinals maintained that a heretic was worse than the schisms dividing the church. On 5 June 1415, Huss went to trial where he was not allowed to speak nor have anyone else defend him. After he refused to recant his teachings, he was burned on 6 July 1415. His death caused the Hussite wars in Bohemia which lasted for several decades.

At the death of Sigismund's brother, the deposed Emperor Wenzel who was still King of Bohemia, Sigismund also became King of Bohemia. However, it would take 17 years before his subjects would acknowledge him. Being regarded as the betrayer of Huss, nobody would support him in putting down the Hussite revolts and even a Papal crusade failed. Though he may have failed in Germany and Bohemia, he nevertheless succeeded in building up the defence of Hungary to make it safe against the Turks for many decades.

The German princes then began to move away from Papal authority as well as trying to strengthen themselves by keeping the Emperor Elect weak. This attitude would support Protestantism a century or so later. In 1431 Sigismund became King of Lombardy and, in 1433, was finally crowned Emperor by the Pope. In 1437 he died at the age of sixty-nine.³

Holy Roman Emperor, King of Hungary & Bohemia was also known as Sigis (?) King of Hungary and Bohemia, Holy Roman Emperor.⁴ He was Elector of Brandenburg between 1373 and 1387.¹ He was King of Hungary, ex uxoris (by marriage) between 1387 and 1437.^4,1 He was Holy Roman Emperor: SIGISMUND (Luxemburg; king of Bohemia, 1419-37; king of Hungary by marriage). His main concern was to end the Papal Schism, and he succeeded the king of France as protagonist of conciliar reform by forcing (anti) Pope John XXIII to call the Council of Constance [>]. Establishment of the house of Wettin in Saxony (1423); the Hohenzollerns (Frederick) in Brandenburg (1415). Sigismund's failure at Constance not only alienated Bohemia but also ended any hope of German unification.

SIGISMUND (of Luxemburg), who became German emperor in 1410 and king of Bohemia in 1436. His reign marked a great decline in the royal power, due to his constant absence from the country and his practice of selling royal domains to get money for his far-reaching schemes elsewhere. In general Sigismund relied on the towns and lesser nobility against the great magnates. Hence the grant of ever greater rights to the smaller nobles.

Sigismund struggled against the Ottoman Turkish advance (1426-27) and was crowned at Rome (1433). In the election of 1438, Frederick of Brandenburg (candidate of the political reformers in Germany) withdrew, making the choice of Albert of Habsburg (Sigismund's son-in-law) unanimous. Albert also succeeded Sigismund on the thrones of Hungary and Bohemia.

These events also split the empire in the Hussite Wars. Refusal to recognize Sigismund as king. The reformers divided into two groups. (1) The moderate Calixtines, with the university as a center, favored separation of religious and political reform and formulated their program in the Four Articles of Prague (1420): full liberty of preaching; sacramental Communion of both kinds, bread and wine (Ultraquism), for the laity; exclusion of the clergy from temporal activity and their subjection to civil penalties for crime. (2) The radical Taborites, under extreme Waldensian, Catharist, and Wiclifite influences, with a program of democracy and apostolic communism. The papal proclamation of a Bohemian Crusade (not opposed by the Emperor Sigismund) united the nation behind John Ziska, a brilliant soldier, who led the Hussites in a series of victories (1420-22). Ziska's “modernization” of tactics: improved mobile artillery, use of baggage wagons for mobile cover. Ziska's death (1424) did not affect the movement. Under a priest, Procop the Great, the Hussites defeated one crusade after another (1426, 1427, 1431) and carried the war into neighboring regions of Germany, on one occasion (1432) advancing as far as the Baltic. Then civil war broke out between the Calixtines and the Taborites (led by Procop the Great), the latter suffering defeat (1434).

Sigismund was finally accepted as king by all parties. He attempted a Catholic reaction, but died in 1437. Disputes continued between the Catholics and the Hussites, complicated by factional struggles between Hussite moderates and radicals and by social tension between nobility, townsmen, and peasantry. between 1410 and 1437.⁴ He was King of Bohemia between 1419 and 1437.⁴ He was Duke of Luxemburg between 1419 and 1437.¹
