In what year was Sigismund Augustus co-crowned vivente rege?

  • 1529

  • 1530

  • 1532

Answer

Sigismund Augustus was co-crowned vivente rege in 1529. This means that he was crowned as king while his father, Sigismund I the Old, was still alive. This was done in order to ensure the succession of the throne in case Sigismund I the Old died before Sigismund Augustus reached the age of majority.
