King Sigismund III of Poland, Sigismund of Sweden (June 20, 1566 O.S. – April 19, 1632), was the son of King John III of Sweden (1537 – 1592), of the House of Vasa, and his first wife, Catherine Jagellonica of Poland (1526 – 1583). He ruled in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, where he was known as Zygmunt III Waza, from 1587 to 1632 and in Sweden, where he was known as Sigismund Vasa, from 1592 until deposed in 1599. Elected to the Polish throne, he sought to create a personal union between the Commonwealth and Sweden. After he had been deposed from the Swedish throne, he concentrated on attempts to reclaim it. His reign initiated a series of wars between the Commonwealth and Sweden that would last until the 1660s. Due to his failure to achieve anything of lasting importance apart from setting the stage for future devastating wars, some historians (such as Pawel Jasienica) consider his reign to mark the beginning of the end of the Polish Golden Age.

However, the election was disputed by other candidate, Maximilian III of Austria, and opponents of Sigismund chose not to respect the election outcome and decreed that Maximilian is the righteous monarch.

Due to Sigismund strong support of the counterreformation, his support in the mostly Protestant Sweden was eroding quickly. Charles soon took full control of Sweden and rebelled against Sigismund, ostensibly due to fears that Sigismund might re-Catholicize Sweden. In 1598 Sigismund tried to defeat him with a mixed army from Sweden and Poland but was defeated in the battle of Stångebro. Sigismund was restrained from ruling Sweden from abroad, but nevertheless returns to Poland, so in 1599 he was deposed. This and his decision to incorporate Livonia into the Commonwealth led to the Polish-Swedish War, which lasted, with minor breaks, to 1629. Little was gained in this war by either side. The kingship was ultimately ceded to Charles. Sigismund however did not relinquish his claims to the Swedish throne and his subsequent foreign policy was aimed at regaining the Swedish crown, which led to very harsh relations and several wars between the two countries, to end only after the Great Northern War.

Another important conflict of his reign was the Polish-Muscovite War (1605-1618), also known as 'Dymitriady'. Sigismund and many Polish magnates attempted to expoit the Muscovy civil war (Time of Troubles) and after lenghty war the Truce of Deulino in 1618 gave some territorial concessions to the Commonwealth (mainly the Smoleńsk Voivodship).

Sigismund politics

Many historians believe that Sigismund viewed Poland only as a tool that would allow him to eventually regain the throne of Sweden. To this end he tried to strengthen his royal power and allied himself with Habsburgs and Counter-Reformation forces. Those politics were opposed by many from Polish nobility (the szlachta), most notably the chancellor Jan Zamojski. This led to a semi-legal rebellion against the king (rokosz), known as rokosz of Zebrzydowski (1606 – 1608), which was a response to Sigismund attempt to introduce majority voting in place of unanimity in the Sejm. Eventually Sigismund loyalist forces were victorious, but the rebels were unpunished. Partially in order to pacify the restless szlachta, Sigismund supported war with Muscovy (the Dimitriads, 1608 – 1618). Although Commonwealth forces were almost constantly shuffled between wars in the East (with Muscovy), north (with Sweden) and South (with Ottomans - the Polish-Ottoman wars), Sigisumund took advantage of Russia civil war (the Time of Troubles and secured temporary territorial gains for the Commonwealth.

While Sigismund never managed to regain the Swedish throne, his politics of personal ambition did succeed in provoking a long series of conflicts between the Commonwealth and Sweden and Muscovy. While the Commonwealth Sejm managed to thwart many ambitious (and dangerous) offensive plans of Sigismund (and later of his son, Wladislaw), the Vasa dynasty nonetheless succeeded in partially drawing the Commonwealth into the Thirty Years War. This sensless conflict with Sweden, combined with wars against Ottomans and Muscovy eventually culminated well after Sigismund's death in the series of events known as the Deluge, which ended the Golden Age of the Commonwealth.
