King of Croatia
Osijek, CroatiaIn about 1406, Sigismund married Mary's cousin Barbara of Celje, daughter of Count Hermann II of Celje. Sigismund managed to establish control in Slavonia. He did not hesitate to use violent methods (see Bloody Sabor of Križevci), but from the river Sava to the south his control was weak. Sigismund personally led an army of almost 50,000 "crusaders" against the Bosnians, culminating with the Battle of Dobor in 1408, a massacre of about 200 noble families.
