In a formal document they publicly declared on March 17 that they took no part in the differ chees between the Pope and the Council, nor would they recognise the punishments, processes, or excommunications of either, as Of any validity within the Empire. They would maintain the rights Of the Church till the new king found means to restore unity if he had not done so within six months they would take counsel of the prelates and jurists of their land what course to adopt.1 Next day Albert, Duke of Austria and King of Hungary, Sigismund's son-ih-law, was elected king, as Sigismund had wished and planned.
