Notes par Sigismund II. August van Polen

Sigismund II Augustus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_language">Polish: Zygmunt II August; 1 August 1520 – 7 July 1572) was the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Poland">King of Poland and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duke_of_Lithuania">Grand Duke of Lithuania, the only son of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigismund_I_the_Old">Sigismund I the Old, whom Sigismund II succeeded in 1548. Sigismund was the only legitimate son of Italian-born https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bona_Sforza">Bona Sforza and Sigismund the Old. From the beginning he was groomed and extensively educated as a successor. In 1529 he was crowned https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivente_rege">vivente rege while his father was still alive. Sigismund Augustus continued a tolerance policy towards minorities and maintained peaceful relations with neighbouring countries, with the exception of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Seven_Years%27_War">Northern Seven Years' War which aimed to secure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_Sea">Baltic trade. Under his patronage the culture flourished in Poland; he was a collector of tapestries from the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_Countries">Low Countries and collected military memorabilia as well as swords and armours. Sigismund Augustus' rule is widely considered as the apex of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_Golden_Age">Polish Golden Age. In 1569 he oversaw the signing of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Lublin">Union of Lublin between Poland and the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duchy_of_Lithuania">Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which formed the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish-Lithuanian_Commonwealth">Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and introduced an elective monarchy. Sigismund Augustus married three times; his first wife, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_of_Austria_(1526%E2%80%931545)">Elizabeth of Austria, died in 1545 at just eighteen. He was then involved in several relationships with mistresses, the most famous being https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Radziwi%C5%82%C5%82">Barbara Radziwiłł, who became Sigismund's second wife and Queen of Poland in spite of his mother's disapproval. The marriage was deemed scandalous and was fiercely opposed by the royal court and the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szlachta">nobility. Barbara died five months after her coronation, presumably due to ill health, however, rumours circulated that she was poisoned. Sigismund finally wedded https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_of_Austria,_Queen_of_Poland">Catherine of Austria, but remained childless throughout his life. Sigismund Augustus was last male member of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagiellons">Jagiellons. Following the death of his sister https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Jagiellon">Anna in 1596 the Jagiellonian Dynasty came to an end.
