Editing Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor (section)

===Final years===
In 1428, Sigismund led another campaign against the Turks, but again with few results. In 1431, he went to [[Milan]] where on 25 November he received the [[Iron Crown of Lombardy|Iron Crown]] as [[Kingdom of Italy (Holy Roman Empire)|King of Italy]]; after which he remained for some time at [[Siena]], negotiating for his [[coronation]] as emperor and for the recognition of the Council of Basel by [[Pope Eugenius IV]]. He was crowned emperor in [[Rome]] on 31 May 1433, and after obtaining his demands from the pope returned to Bohemia, where he was recognized as king in 1436, though his power was little more than nominal.<ref name=EB1911/> Shortly after he was crowned, Pope Eugenius began attempts to create a new anti-Ottoman alliance.<ref>{{cite book|last=Buda|first=Aleks|title=Shkrime historike|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=l5K4AAAAIAAJ|year=2002|publisher=Toena|isbn=978-99927-1-651-9|language=sq |page=247}}</ref> This was sparked{{citation needed|date=January 2015}} by an [[Albanian Revolt of 1432–36|Albanian revolt]] against the Ottomans, which had begun in 1432. In 1435, Sigismund sent [[Fruzhin]], a Bulgarian nobleman, to negotiate an alliance with the Albanians. He also sent Daud, a pretender to the Ottoman throne, in early 1436.<ref name="Islami4" /> However, following the defeat of the rebels in 1436, plans for an anti-Ottoman alliance ended.<ref name="Islami4">{{cite book|last1=Islami|first1=Selim|first2=Skënder |last2=Anamali |first3=Muzafer |last3=Korkuti |first4=Frano |last4=Prendi |first5=Edi |last5=Shukriu|editor=Kristaq Prifti, Muzafer Korkuti|title=Historia e popullit shqiptar|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UlUtAQAAIAAJ|year=2002|publisher=Botimet Toena|language=sq |page=338|isbn=978-9992716229 }}</ref> Sigismund died on 9 December 1437 at [[Znojmo]] ({{langx|de|Znaim}}), [[Moravia]] (now [[Czech Republic]]), and as ordered in life, he was buried at [[Nagyvárad]], [[Kingdom of Hungary|Hungary]] (today [[Oradea]], [[Romania]]), next to the tomb of the King Saint [[Ladislaus I of Hungary]], who was the ideal of the perfect monarch, warrior and Christian for that time and was deeply venerated by Sigismund.<ref>Bertényi Iván.
