	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sigismund
		During the reign of his elder brother, King Wenceslaus, Sigismund was able, upon the death of the King of Hungary, to maintain his claims to Hungary though only after a hard struggle, and on 31 March, 1387, he was crowned King of Hungary.
		During the course of the council Sigismund turned his efforts at reform to internal policies, especially to the establishment of a general peace in the empire.
		Sigismund's failure to effect the needed imperial reforms was not wholly due to weakness of character; the selfish policy of the estates opposed insuperable obstacles to his good intentions.
