Note	Called Sigismund Augustus. He was also grand duke of Lithuania (1544-69). Sigismund II was crowned king in 1530 but did not actually succeed to the throne until his father's Death 18 years later. Like his father, he allied himself with the great magnate families and was at odds with the szlachta (gentry) class. Although Roman Catholic, he did little to prevent the spRead of Protestantism, which flourished in Poland and Lithuania during his reign. In 1559 he added Livonia to his domains, and ten years later, by the Union of Lublin, he formally united Poland and Lithuania, ending the existence of the latter as a separate duchy. Sigismund died Childless, and with him the Jagiellon dynasty came to an end.
