In about 1406, Sigismund married Mary's cousin [[Barbara of Celje]], daughter of Count [[Hermann II of Celje]]. Hermann's mother [[Catherine of Bosnia, Countess of Cilli|Catherine]] (of the House of [[Kotromanic]]) and Mary's mother Queen [[Elisabeth of Bosnia]] were sisters, or at least cousins who were adoptive sisters.

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 members of various Bosnian [[nobility|noble]] families. However, although campaign militarily looked like a success, it ultimately failed politically and Hungarians retreated, while the [[Bosnian Kingdom|Bosnian crown]] slowly but surely slipped away out of the reach for Sigismund and Hungarians.<ref name="Maslo-2018-Slavni Pavle-p.57">{{cite journal |author1=Amer Maslo |title=Slavni i velmožni gospodin knez Pavle Radinović |journal=Cobiss+ |date=2018 |page=57 |url=https://www.ff.unsa.ba/files/zavDipl/17_18/his/Amer-Maslo.pdf |access-date=25 January 2024 |publisher=IZUM-Institut informacijskih znanosti |location=Maribor |language=bs}}</ref>
