Sigismund
was a titulary King van Bohemia after the death of his brother Wenceslas in
1419 but he could not effectuate his claim because of the revolt of the
Hussite until 1436. He was in fact but only one year King of Bohemia. Nevertheless he bore, as a son of Charles
IV the amrs of Bohemia which can be considered as his family arms. After his
marriage with Mary of Hungary in 1385 he also bore the arms of Arpad as a
family arms even when he was not related at all with the Anjous who bore
these arms by right of Charles Martel. The impaled of Arpad-Bohemia was also
inherited by his grandson Ladislas Posthumus. Because
there could not be a Bohemian governement by the grace of the Emperor, the
Bohemian coat of arms could not be suported by a two-heade eagle. |
