Sigismund Charles Barbanov (Common: Sigismund Charles; New Marian: Sigmund Karl), (9th of the Deep Cold, 1813-present), regally known as Sigismund III, is the nineteenth King of Hanseti and Ruska. Sigismund was born the eldest child of Heinrik II and Mariya of Aurveldt, thus making him the Grand Prince of Kusoraev. He would inherit the throne upon the abdication of his Father, and ascended to the crown at the age of twenty.

Reign
By the time he had reached the age of twenty, his father King Henry II announced his Edict of Abdication. This meant that Sigismund was to be the new reigning monarch effective immediately, and the former King went into retirement as the Count of Markev.
The Haelun'orian War
Despite not yet being coronated, the young King immediately set off to establish a new strategy to face the Silver State of Haelun'or. It had been years since the Brotherhood of Saint Karl had seen any action against the Silver State, and many began to wonder how they were to fight the Haelun'orians if they would not come out to face them. As a result, Sigismund called upon the Duma of Haense to assemble and come together with a new strategy to continue the fight against Haelun'or in a meaningful matter.
While the assembled Duma did not come to an immediate conclusion about the exact strategy to take against the Haelun'orians, the new King was fully aware that the war with Haelun'or needed to be ended in a Haeseni victory. Grim news reached the court of the King, as word had arrived that the Principality of Savoy, a dominant power in the south of Almaris, had just vassalized the Silver State of Haelun'or. While this did not immediately mean war between Savoy and Haense, it made the new King more determined to find a way to win the war sooner than later, and hopefully before Savoyard intervention.
Eventually, following a series of peace negotiations between Haense, Urguan, and Savoy, the Silver State of Haelun'or would surrender to the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska and the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. Haelun'or would concede the sum of 10,000 minas to Haense, and the land containing and surrounding the Haelun'orian vassal of ando Alur to Urguan, along with a formal apology for past insults against the two victorious states.
The Northern War
The Northern War, called by most as the Nyrheim Northern War, had already been raging on since before Sigismund had ascended to the Crown. The previous administration under his Father had began to take steps to try and prevent the Svarling advance, but now Sigismund directly ordered his Meyster Knight Reinhardt Barclay to lead a detachment of Knights and BSK soldiers north to defend the Fennic Remnant from an imminent Svarling attack. This effort would come to fruition, as the Haeseni force arrived just in time to support the Norlandic and Fennic forces.
