The paper deals with the international exhibition project 'Sigismundus - Rex et Imperator - Sigismund of Luxembourg, Arts and Culture 1387-1437'. It presents the emperor, his life and activities in connection with the arts and culture. The historiographies of the Central European countries where Sigismund once ruled, considered both the monarch and his era often very emotionally and with the great differences. They also came into touch with the nationalist prejudices and the various ideological standpoints. The exhibition undoubtedly tried to anchor Sigismund of Luxembourg into European relations. In the separate chapters the exhibition presented Sigismund's residences, the culture of the King's court and its products, the Emperor‘s leading role in the European politics, his portraits and a political heritage. The ending part of the exhibition was dedicated to the arts of the King Sigismund's era in a broader meaning - to the arts of the International Gothic style. Presented artefacts often originated in the regions outside the center, in border regions of medieval Hungary, but in touch with Central European currents in sculpture, table and book painting, textile art, goldsmithery etc. The goal of this important part of the exhibition was to present Central European context and a specific territory of the Hungarian Kingdom within it. This section had clearly an art historical character and can be taken as the first specialized attempt to present the phenomenon of the arts around 1400 within the mentioned geographical boundaries. The exhibited artefacts and the catalogue descriptions brought into light many new attributions and datings for the art historians to deal with.

The paper deals with the circumstances of the death of the Emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg and the accession of Albert of Habsburg to the throne of Hungary. Albert based his claims to the Hungarian royal crown on his marriage with Sigismund’s daughter Elisabeth, the heiress of the Kingdom of Hungary. But the hereditary claims to the royal throne in the women’s branch did not apply in Hungary. In this case the new King was elected by the assembly. In spite of Sigismund’s last will, the election of Albert as a King of Hungary was uncertain because part of the aristocracy supported the Polish candidacy. Albert concealed Sigismund’s death and hastily organized an election assembly in Bratislava, which was attended only by supporters of the Habsburg duke. Therefore, a part of the aristocracy did not accept the election and the result was a civil war in the Kingdom of Hungary. The study deals also with the issue of the royal burial, the last resting place of Emperor Sigismund in Oradea as well with the later destruction of his grave.

John Hus, summoned by Sigismund of Luxembourg in autumn of 1414, went to the ecumenical council of Constance to present and explain his own program of the renewal of church and spiritual life. He also hoped to be cleared of heresy charges. John Hus was in November 1414 after the preliminary hearing. His lawsuit which lasted seven months consisted of accusation, testimony of witnesses, interrogation by the committee of ecumenical council and three trials in public (5th, 7th and 8th of June 1415). John Hus was found guilty of heresy and the lawsuit ended with his death sentence. He refused to seize an opportunity to retract his views and thus save his life. The death sentence has been executed on 6th July 1415. This description of John Hus' trial, almost unknown from other sources, we owe to Piotr z Mladonovic, the author of 'Zprava o M. J. Husowi v Kostnici. The last part 'Konec o svatém muzi a ctihodnem mistru Janu Husowi, horlivem milovniku prawdy Jeziate Krista, a jeho utrpeni, jez pokorne vyrpel' was read during worship in Hussite churches until the defeat in the battle of Biala Gora.

The paper is a reconstruction of the life of a Hungarian magnate active at the Hungarian court of Sigismund of Luxembourg, Nicholas of Szecseny and Salgo. It is also a sounder into the life at the court of the King of Hungary. As a result of his eccentric and exceptional character Nicholas of Salgo became a victim of the hatred of some of Sigismund’s courtiers. This fact led to a plot, due to which he was condemned and exiled from Hungary. He spent the last years of his life in Venice. The documents in the Venetian archives concerning Nicholas’ possessions, which were not studied up to now, provide substantial additional evidence on his Venetian exile, his eccentric way of life and exceptional education.
