Mary met her husband in Zagreb on 4{{nbsp}}July.{{sfn|Solymosi|Körmendi|1981|p=229}} She officially remained Sigismund's co-ruler until the end of her life, but her influence on government was minimal.{{sfn|Engel|2001|p=201}} Sigismund's land grants were always confirmed with Mary's great seal during the first year of their common rule, but thereafter the grantees rarely sought her confirmation.{{sfn|Süttő|2002|p=73}} Royal charters counted her regnal years not from her ascension, but from her husband's coronation.{{sfn|Süttő|2002|p=73}} Nevertheless, according to [[Johannes de Thurocz]], Mary persuaded her husband to [[dismemberment|dismember]] John Horvat who was captured in July 1394 although Sigismund would have been willing to spare his life.{{sfn|Engel|2001|p=202}}{{sfn|Süttő|2002|pp=74–75}}

Mary was pregnant when she decided to venture out alone on a hunt in a Buda forest on 17{{nbsp}}May 1395.{{sfn|Csukovits|2012|p=121}} Her horse tripped, threw her and fell on top of her.{{sfn|Süttő|2002|p=76}} The trauma induced labor and she gave birth [[premature birth|prematurely]] to a son.{{sfn|Csukovits|2012|p=121}} The queen succumbed to the fatal injuries; being far from any kind of assistance, her son died as well.{{sfn|Csukovits|2012|p=121}} She was buried in the cathedral of Várad (now [[Oradea]] in Romania).{{sfn|Csukovits|2012|p=120}} Mary's sister, Jadwiga, claimed the Hungarian crown, but Sigismund retained it without much difficulty.{{sfn|Engel|2001|p=201}}{{sfn|Halecki|1991|p=220}}
