The only known contemporary portrait of Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor, painted by unknown artist in the 1420s. Sigismund (14 February 1368 – 9 December 1437) was one of the longest ruling Kings of Hungary, reigning for fifty years from 1387 to 1437, and was also Holy Roman Emperor for four years from 1433 until 1437, and the last Emperor of the House of Luxemburg. He was also King of Bohemia from 1419, of Lombardy 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. - enWikipedia Zoom
