king of Bohemia. He became margrave of Moravia on his See also:father's See also:death in 1375, and his See also:clever and unscrupulous See also:character enabled him to amass a considerable amount of See also:wealth,- while his ambition led him into See also:constant quarrels with his See also:brother Procop, his See also:cousins, ,the See also:German king See also:Wenceslaus and See also:Sigismund, margrave of See also:Brandenburg, and others. By taking See also:advantage of their difficulties he won consider-able See also:power, and the See also:record of his See also:life is one of warfare and treachery, followed by broken promises and transitory reconciliations. In 1385 and 1388 he See also:purchased Brandenburg from Sigismund, and the duchy of Luxemburg from Wenceslaus; and in 1397 he also became possessed of upper and See also:lower See also:Lusatia.

time he had entertained hopes of the German See also:throne and had negotiated with Wenceslaus and others to this end. When, however, King See also:Rupert died in 1410 he maintained at first that there was no vacancy, as Wenceslaus, who had been deposed in 1400, was still king; but changing his attitude, he was chosen German king at See also:Frankfort on the 1st of See also:October 1410 in opposition to Sigismund, who had been elected a few days previously. Jobst however was never crowned, and his death on the 17th of See also:January 1411 prevented hostilities between the See also:rival See also:kings.
