	Sigismund - LoveToKnow 1911
		SIGISMUND (1368-1437), Roman emperor and king of Hungary and Bohemia, was a son of the emperor Charles IV.
		Sigismund had been crowned king of Hungary on the 31st of March 1387, and having raised money by pledging Brandenburg to his cousin Jobst, margrave of Moravia, he was engaged for the next nine years in a ceaseless struggle for the possession of this unstable throne.
		The complicity of Sigismund in the death of John Huss is a matter of controversy.

	Sigismund III - LoveToKnow 1911
		During Sigismund's absence from Sweden that realm was to be ruled by seven Swedes, six to be elected by the king and one by Duke Charles, his Protestant uncle.
		Sigismund's difficulties were also increased by his political views which he brought with him from Sweden cut and dried, and which were diametrically opposed to those of the omnipotent chancellor.
		Sigismund never saw Sweden again, but he persistently refused to abandon his claims or recognise the new Swedish government; and this unfortunate obstinacy was to involve Poland in a whole series of unprofitable wars with Sweden.

		After early stalemate, Sigismund was defeated in the Battle of StÃ¥ngebro in 1598 and by 1599, Sigismund was dethroned by his uncle, Duke Charles and forced to retreat to the Commonwealth.
		Sigismund started his plan in 1599, when he confirmed the pacta conventa, documents with promises he signed when elected as a King of Poland, which stated that the then-Swedish territory of Estonia would now became part of the Commonwealth.
		Chodkiewicz, who was one of the magnates who remained loyal to the king, had to divide his attention between the the rebellion against Sigismund in the Commonwealth (the rokosz of Zebrzydowski, 1606-1609) and a fresh invasion of Livonia by the Swedes led by Mansfeld in 1608.

	Britannica: Anarchism
		However, after the Franco-German War, when the International Association was prohibited in France after the uprising of the Commune, the German working men, who had received manhood suffrage for elections to the newly constituted imperial parliament, insisted upon modifying the tactics of the International, and began to build up a Social Democratic political party.
		Against these prosecutions the anarchists retaliated by acts of violence which in their turn were followed by more executions from above, and new acts of revenge from below.
		This created in the general public the impression that violence is the substance of anarchism, a view repudiated by its supporters, who hold that in reality violence is resorted to by all parties in proportion as their open action is obstructed by repression, and exceptional laws render them outlaws.

	EARLY HISTORY OF POLAND
		Sigismund, in 1422, even went so far as to propose a partition of Poland between Hungary, the empire and the Silesian princes, a scheme which foundered upon Sigismund's impecuniosity and the reluctance of the Magyars to injure the Poles.
		The Polish king was always ready enough to support the Czechs against Sigismund but the necessity of justifying his own orthodoxy (which the Knights were for ever impugning) at Rome and in the face of Europe prevented him from accepting the crown of St Wenceslaus from the hands of heretics.
		At the beginning of the war both the empire and the pope were against him, but he neutralized their hostility by allying himself with George of Podvebrad, whom the Hussites had placed on the throne of Bohemia.

		War among tribal peoples was a fact of life, which the gods themselves honored and joined in.
