Hi guys, I need a feasibility check on a divergence point for 1410. I plan to have Sigismund (future Holy Roman Emperor) die while competing for the title King of the Romans with Jobst of Moravia (who survives longer in this timeline). First, is this feasible? Neithr Sigismund or Jobst strike me as the sort to back down from something they desire, but could the competition turn violent (perhaps even break out into a war)?

Second, while I can see some of the consequences immediately, I'll admit I can't speak to all of them. If Sigismund dies, he leaves several thrones vacant, the catholic schism of the popacy unresolved, and Jan Hus still alive to spread his message of reform. Anyone care to help me chart the consequences of all this?
