Herman II (rider on the left) saves emperor Sigismund from turkish capture

In 1396, Hermann II, a soldier in Sigismund of Luxembourg's Crusade of Nicopolis against Bayezid I of the Ottoman Empire, saved Sigismund's life in battle, and was rewarded with the county of Seger (Sagor, Zagorien, Zagorje) and the town of Varaždin.

In 1406 Hermann founded a major Carthusian monastery.^[1]

In 1408, Hermann's daughter, Barbara, married Sigismund, the King of Hungary who later became King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor. When Hermann's son Frederick of Celje divorced his first wife Elizabeth of Frankapan and married Veronica Desnic, Hermann was angry about the whole situation. He had Veronica tried and executed for being a witch.^[2]

In 1427, Hermann was named heir presumptive to the throne of the Kingdom of Bosnia by his cousin, King Tvrtko II. However, Hermann predeceased Tvrtko and died in Pressburg (Bratislava).
