	Sigismund - Wikipedia, den fria encyklopedin
		Sigismund, son till Johan III och den polska prinsessan Katarina, dotter till Sigismund I av Polen, föddes den 20 juni 1566 under föräldrarnas fångenskap 1563-1567 på Gripsholms slott och blev genom faderns tronbestigning 1569 närmaste arvinge till den svenska kronan.
		I Polen blev Sigismund inte populär; han var "alltför tystlåten, envis, långsam, njugg och mjältsjuk" (Olof von Dalin), och hans böjelse för gunstlingar och sidoinflytanden framträdde från början.
		Sigismund fortsatte emellertid abdikationsförhandlingarna och äktade i samband därmed ärkehertiginnan Anna av Steiermark, dotter till ärkehertig Karl av Steiermark, i Kraków i maj 1592.

		By 1550, when he summoned his second diet, a reaction in his favor began, and the lingering petulance of the gentry was sternly rebuked by Kmita, the marshal of the diet, who openly accused them of attempting to diminish unduly the legislative prerogative of the crown.
		He sought to remedy the evil by liaisons with two of the most beautiful of his countrywomen, Barbara Gizanka and Anna Zajanczkowska, the diet undertaking to legitimatize and acknowledge as his successor any heir male who might be born to him; but their complacency was in vain, for the king died childless.
