Sigismund of Luxembourg dies

What if he was the king of Hungary, and later King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, Sigismund of Luxembourg was killed in the Battle of Nicopolis? Who would be the new king of Hungary and who take over the throne Bohemia after the death of his brother, Wenceslas?
 
The natural choice would be Jobst of Moravia in the HRE and Bohemia.

Dunno about Hungary.

Jobst might need a new wife then, since he'd been married to his since '72 with no kids that I can find. Maybe Giovanna of Naples as a new wife? I mean, with a POD in 1396 no one's gonna know her brother's gonna die without legitimate issue.
 
Isn't Jodokus gonna need an annulment though. He's been married to a girl (b.1360) since 1372 with no kids. Surely by '96 they can reason that her having kids is getting unlikely, and Jod's got a dynasty to provide for. Or was there a reason that I don't know about as to why there was no annulment sought OTL even after it became clear that he and his wife would have no kids?
 
Also, how much of a chance does Rupprecht III of the Palatinate stand? OTL 4/7 electors voted for Jodokus, but from what I can tell, that was WITH Sigmund in the race. Besides, Rupprecht was King of the Romans so could he use that leg to get at least one more elector to vote his way?
