Years: 1402 - 1402

Sigismund cooperates with the German princes in deposing his half brother, Emperor Wenceslaus, a lazy alcoholic viewed by the electors as increasingly ineffective, in 1402.

Rupert of the Palatinate is elected German king in his place.

Wenceslaus, however, is popular with his subjects despite his faults, constantly presses his claim to the German throne, and becomes increasingly influential.
