'''Sigismund Vasa''' ([[Polish]]: ''Zygmunt III Waza'') (1566–1632) was a [[Monarchy in Sweden|king]] of [[Sweden]] and [[Poland]], and Grand Duke of [[Lithuania]]. He was a member of the Vasa dynasty, grandson of [[Gustav Vasa]] and son of [[Johan III]] of Sweden and his first wife, Catherine Jagellonica of Poland.
While Sweden was and had been since the time of his grandfather [[Lutheran]], he was raised a [[Catholicism|Catholic]]. This, his support of the Counter Reformation and his attempts to rule Sweden from Poland led to much anger in Sweden, eventually resulting in a revolt led by his paternal uncle, who after deposing his nephew became [[Karl IX]].
After the loss of Sweden, he continued to rule in Poland.
