Archduke Sigismund, Grand Duke of Tuscany (1966), the son of Archduke Leopold Franz and his first wife Princess Laetitia d'Arenberg, born Laetitia de Belzunce (and adopted by her stepfather Erik, 11th Duke of Arenberg). In 1999, Sigismund married Elyssa Edmonstone (1973), the only daughter of Sir Archibald Bruce Edmonstone, of Duntreath, 7th Baronet by his second wife Juliet Elizabeth Deakin. The couple are divorced since 25 June 2013, with annulment in 2016. The couple have three children together.





According to Wikipedia:

Sigismund (variants: Sigmund, Siegmund) is a German proper name, meaning "protection through victory", from Old High German sigu "victory" + munt "hand, protection". Tacitus Latinises it Segimundus. There appears to be an older form of the High German word "Sieg" (victory): sigis, obviously Gothic and an inferred Germanic form, and there is a younger form: sigi, which is Old Saxon or Old High German sigu (both from about 9th century). A 5th century Prince of Burgundy was known both as Sigismund and Sigimund (see Ernst F�rstemann, Altdeutsche Personennamen, 1906; Henning Kaufmann, Altdeutsche Personennamen, Erg�nzungsband,1968). Its Hungarian equivalent is Zsigmond.

A Lithuanian name �ygimantas, meaning "wealth of (military) campaign", from Lithuanian �ygis "campaign, march" + manta "goods, wealth" has been a substitution of the name Sigismund in the Lithuanian language, from which it was adopted by the Ruthenian language as Жыгімонт (such are the cases of Sigismund Kestutaitis, Sigismund Korybut, Sigismund I the Old, Sigismund II Augustus). The Polish spelling is Zygmunt, and the Croatian variant is �igmund.

Sidonia or Sidonie is a feminine given name.

Sidonie of Bavaria (1488�1505), eldest daughter of Duke Albert IV of Bavaria-Munich, wife of the Elector Palatine Louis V. Her father, Albert had been Duke of Bavaria-Munich since 1465. Her mother, Kunigunde was a daughter of Emperor Frederick III. When she was 14 months old, she was promised to Louis of the Palatinate, the oldest son of Count Palatine Philip. Because of the close relationship of the couple � both descended from the Upper Bavarian Duke Louis II and Louis's mother, Margaret, was a sister of Duke George of Bavaria-Landshut � a papal dispensation was required for this marriage. It was approved in 1491. In view of the age of the bride, a marriage would not be possible before the year 1500. During this long engagement, the Palatine branch of the Wittelsbachs investigated other options for Louis. The engagement between Sidonie and Louis lasted until her death in late March 1505. It was not broken off when, after the death of Duke George of Bavaria-Landshut in 1503, Bavaria-Munich and the Palatinate found themselves on opposite sides in the Landshut War of Succession. After a rapprochement between the two branches of the House of Wittelsbach, Louis married in 1511 Sidonie's younger sister Sibylle.



Sidonie of Poděbrady (1449�1510), daughter of the King of Bohemia. She was a daughter of George of Poděbrady, King of Bohemia, and his first wife Kunigunde of Sternberg. She was the twin sister of Catherine of Poděbrady, wife of Matthias Corvinus of Hungary. A marriage contract was signed on 11 November 1459 for Sidonie's marriage to Albert, son of Frederick II, Elector of Saxony. The couple married on 11 May 1464. Sidonie followed her husband to Meissen, and the consummation of their marriage took place in May 1464 at Castle Tharandt. Four months after their marriage, Albert's father died, and he became Duke of Saxony with Sidonie as Duchess consort. Sidonie and Albert were married for thirty-six years, during which time they had nine children. In 1495 she founded the religious festival of the Holy Lance, after being freed from a stone disease.



Sidonie of Saxony (1518�1575), was a princess of the House of Wettin and by marriage Duchess of Brunswick-L�neburg and Princess of Calenberg-G�ttingen. The daughter of the Duke Heinrich IV of Saxony (1473�1541) from his marriage to Catherine (1487�1561), daughter of the Duke Magnus II of Mecklenburg.  She is a granddaughter of Sidonie of Poděbrady. In 1545 she married Duke Eric II of Brunswick-L�neburg (1528�1584), who was ten years her junior. Initially, they liked each other. Eric had been engaged to Agnes of Hesse. When the marriage was negotiated at the court in Kassel, however, he had met Sidonie. He liked her, and broke off the engagement with Agnes, in order to marry Sidonie. Landgrave Philip I of Hesse predicted: "All sorts of things will happen inside this marriage after the kissing month ends." Two years into the marriage, in 1547, Duke Eric began his rule and reconverted to the Catholic faith, after the Reformation had been introduced to his Duchy in 1542. Despite her husband's pleas, Sidonie held on to her Lutheran faith. They had financial problems and the marriage remained childless, and soon their relationship took a very unfortunate course. The clashes culminated in her suspicion that her husband wanted to poison her. Eric turned to a mistress with whom he lived at Calenberg Castle from 1563. Sidonie was refused access to the castle, which was also based on the grounds that she had threatened "if she comes into my house, I'll cut the whore's nose off and poke out an eye." Sidonie was from 1564 onwards virtually under house arrest and she protested vigorously to her brother and to the Emperor, who sent councils who tried unsuccessfully to compromise with Duke Eric. In 1564 Eric fell very ill and suspected he was poisoned. Four women suspected of witchcraft were burned as witches in Neustadt am R�benberge. In 1570 mediation by the Emperor, the Elector of Saxony and Duke Julius of Brunswick-Wolfenb�ttel resulted in a settlement of the disputes between Sidonie and her husband, in which Sodonie would receive Calenberg Castle. Eric, however, did not abide by the settlement. On 30 March 1572, Duke Eric assembled some of his advisers, nobles and deputies of the cities of Hannover and Hameln on Landestrost Castle in Neustadt. He accused Sidonie of witchcraft and of an attempt on his life. He presented evidence obtained by torture from the four women he had executed for witchcraft. Sidonie turned to Emperor Maximilian II and asked for a revision. She secretly left Kalenberg and traveled to Vienna. Emperor Maximilian then decreed that the investigation should be carried out at the imperial court. However, he then turned the case over to the Dukes Julius of Brunswick-Wolfenb�ttel and William the Younger of Brunswick-L�neburg. On 17 December 1573 the case was presented in Halberstadt to the court and a large audience. All witnesses recanted their testimony against Sidonie and on 1 January 1574, the Duchess was acquitted of all charges. From Vienna, Sidonie traveled in October 1572 to Dresden to her brother and his wife. Instead of Calenberg castle and the silver Duke Eric had withheld from her, she received, after several settlements, compensation and a pension for life. Elector Augustus gave her the Poor Clares monastery at Wei�enfels with all income and interest. Sidonie lived there until she died in 1575.


Sidonia von Borcke (1548�1620), Pomeranian noblewoman tried and executed for witchcraft. Sidonia von Borcke was born in 1548 into a wealthy noble Pomeranian family. Her father, Otto von Borcke zu Stramehl-Regenwalde, died in 1551, and her mother, Anna von Schwiechelt, died in 1568. After the death of her sister in 1600 she took residence in 1604 in the Lutheran Noble Damsels' Foundation in Marienflie� Abbey which, since 1569 and following the Protestant Reformation, was a convent for unmarried noblewomen. Before that she had been involved in several lawsuits concerning support payments which, she claimed, were owed to her. While living in Marienflie�, Sidonia engaged in several private and judicial conflicts with her (mostly younger) co-residents and with the administrative staff of the abbey. When in 1606 she was dismissed from her post as an Unterpriorin (sub-prioress) by the convent's prioress, Magdalena von Petersdorff, she appealed her dismissal to Bogislaw XIII, Duke of Pomerania. The feud ended with the death of Bogislaw XIII in 1606 and the deaths of von Petersdorff, von Wedel, and von Hechthausen (all in 1609) Two years later, Sidonia filed complaints against the new prioress, Agnes von Kleist. These complaints were addressed to Philip II, Bogislaw's successor. Like his predecessor, Philip sent a Commission to investigate the complaints. The new Commission did not succeed in calming the dispute, and Jost von Borcke described the situation at Marienflie� as one of chaos, mistrust, name-calling, and occasional violence.[6] Philip II died in 1618 and was succeeded by Duke Francis I. Jost von Borcke was in good standing at Francis's court and remained head of the investigating Commission. In July 1619, a dispute between Sidonia and Unterpriorin (sub-prioress) Dorothea von Stettin escalated out of control during a mass, and both women were arrested. Dorothea von Stettin then accused Sidonia of witchcraft, specifically of forcing a former Marienflie� factotum, Wolde Albrechts, to ask the devil about her (Sidonia's) future. The trials of Sidonia von Borcke and Wolde Albrechts were held at the court in Stettin. These trials are well documented, with more than a thousand pages of the original trial record available in an archive in Greifswald (Rep 40 II Nr.37 Bd.I-III). The recent unexpected deaths of several Pomeranian dukes, along with widespread superstition, had created an atmosphere in which the public was prepared to blame the dukes' deaths on Sidonia's alleged witchcraft. This bias was strengthened when the Pomeranian dynasty became extinct in 1637. The trial of Wolde Albrechts was a preface to the trial of Sidonia. In prison Sidonia both attempted to flee and to commit suicide, in both she failed. On 1 September 1620, the final verdict was rendered. Sidonia was sentenced to death by beheading and subsequent burning of her body. The sentence was carried out in Stettin, outside the mill gate. The exact date of her death is not known.After Sidonia's death, her fate became legendary and was even more strongly associated with the extinction of the House of Pomerania. Portrayed as a femme fatale, she became the subject of several fictional works in German and English, especially during the 19th century.

Christian is a given name. Both men and women can be named "Christian". The name comes from the Latin word Christianus, meaning "follower of Christ". It has been commonly used as a name since the Middle Ages.

The name is popular in Europe, United States and other English-speaking countries. In Europe � though not the United States � it is almost exclusively used as a male name. However, in the 17th and 18th centuries it was a popular female first name in Scotland.

Female variants of the name include Christine, Christina, Christiane, Kristen, Kristin, and Kirsten. Holders of the name Christian may go by the nicknames or shortened forms Chris, Chrissy, Crix or Xian.

As I previously focussed on the female versions, this is exclusively about the male variants:


Christian I. (1426 -1481) King of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Started the Danish royal dynasty from the House Oldenburg. He was also Duke of Schleswig and Holstein. He was the eldest son of Count Dietrich von Oldenburg und Delmenhorst and his wife Heilwig von Holstein. In 1449 he married  Dorothea von Brandenburg (1430-1495). The couple had 5 children.

Christian II. (1481-1559) was from 1513 till 1523 King of Denmark and Norway and also from 1520 till  1523 King of Sweden. Christian II was the 3rd son of Johann I of Denmark (1455-1513) and his wife Christina of Saxen (1461�1521). In paternal line he was a grandson of Christian I. His slaughter of leading Swedish nobility afterwards he conquered Sweden (known as the Stockholm Bloodbath) made him despised and after a short reign in Sweden, where to this day he is known as Christian the Tyrant (Kristian Tyrann), he was deposed in a rebellion led by the nobleman and later king of Sweden Gustav Vasa. His problems grew as he tried to limit the influence of foreign trading nations in Denmark. His reign in Denmark and Norway was cut short in 1523 when his uncle deposed him and took the thrones as Frederick I. Christian was exiled to the Netherlands, ruled by his brother-in-law, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. After attempting to reclaim the thrones in 1531, he was arrested and held in captivity for the rest of his life, first in S�nderborg Castle and later at Kalundborg Castle. In 1515, he married Isabella of Austria, granddaughter of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor. However, he is most known for his relation with Dyveke Sigbritsdatter, a commoner of Dutch ancestry who became his mistress before his marriage and whose mother became his closest advisor. When Dyveke suddenly died in 1517, Christian had the nobleman Torben Oxe executed, on dubious grounds, for having poisoned her. Christian II had six children by his wife, Isabella of Austria (1501�1526), only three of whom survived infancy and two reached adulthood.


Christian III (1503 � 1559) reigned as King of Denmark from 1534 and King of Norway from 1537 until his death in 1559. During his reign, Christian formed close ties between the church and the crown. He established Lutheranism as the state religion within his realms as part of the Protestant Reformation. Christian was the eldest son of future king, Frederick I of Denmark, and Anna of Brandenburg.

Christian II of Saxony (1583 � 1611) was Elector of Saxony from 1591 to 1611. He was the eldest son of Christian I of Saxony and Sophie of Brandenburg. He belonged to the Albertine line of the House of Wettin. In 1602, Christian married Hedwig, daughter of the King Frederick II of Denmark. This marriage was childless.

Christian and Christiana had eleven children.
