Topic: Archduke Sigismund of Austria


  
  Sigismund, Archduke of Austria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sigismund of Austria, Duke of Further Austria, then Archduke of Further Austria (Innsbruck, October 26, 1427 – March 4, 1496) was a Habsburg archduke of Austria and ruler of Tirol from 1446 to 1490.
Sigismund (or Siegmund, sometimes also spelled Sigmund) was born in Innsbruck; his parents were Frederick IV, Duke of Further Austria and Anna of Brunswick.
In the later years of the 1470s and early 1480s Sigismund issued a decree that instituted a radical coinage reformation that eventually led up to the creation of the world's first really large and heavy silver coin in nearly a millennium, the guldengroschen, which the Habsburgs in Bohemia developed later into the thaler.

The second son of Archduke Leopold V and Claudia of Medici was ordained as bishop of Augsburg in 1646 without being a priest.
He was more able than his brother and could have made him a good ruler, but with his early death in 1665 the younger Tyrolean line of the Habsburg house ended.

After a successful career as a papal legate, he was made a cardinal by Pope Nicholas V in 1448 or 1449, and was named Bishop of Brixen in 1450.
His work as bishop was opposed by Archduke Sigismund of Austria; the duke imprisoned Nicholas in 1460, for which Pope Pius II excommunicated Sigismund and laid an interdict on his lands.
Nicholas of Cusa was never able to return to his bishopric, however: Sigmund's capitulation in 1464 came a few days after Nicholas's death at Todi in Umbria.

Erected by Archduke Sigismund of Austria around 1470 at the foot of Küchelberg Mountain as the state residence, this castle served the princes of Tyrol as the seat of their government.
It was also occasionally inhabited by Emperor Maximilian and by the family of Emperor Ferdinand I. The castle is thus the ideal place to study the way of life in the late Medieval period.
