Years: 1598 - 1598

Andrew Báthory, a candidate to the Polish throne following the death of his uncle, King Stephen Báthory of Poland, in 1586, had had the support of the Great Crown Chancellor, Jan Zamoyski.
Sigismund reverses his decision in October 1598, then resigns once more in favor of Cardinal Andrew Báthory, who is his cousin.
Andrew's accession to the Transylvanian throne is supported by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, where the cardinal had stayed before, and also accepted by the Ottoman Empire.
This allows Transylvania to fall under the influence of the King of Poland.
