Question: When was the  sixteenth century King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania died?

Sigismund II Augustus (Polish: "Zygmunt II August" , Ruthenian: "Żygimont II Awgust", Lithuanian: "Žygimantas II Augustas" , German: "Sigismund II.  August" ) (1 August 1520 – 7 July 1572) was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, the only son of Sigismund I the Old, whom Sigismund II succeeded in 1548.  Married three times, the last of the Jagiellons remained childless, and through the Union of Lublin introduced a free elective monarchy. <SEP> VI High School – King Sigismund Augustus is a secondary school in the Bojary district of the city of Białystok in Poland.  The school is named after the sixteenth century King Sigismund II Augustus.  The school was founded in 1915 and its alumni include the inventor of Esperanto . <SEP> The Lithuanian Civil War of 1389–92 was the second civil conflict between Jogaila, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, and his cousin Vytautas.  At issue was control of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, then the largest state in Europe.  Jogaila had been crowned King of Poland in 1386; he installed his brother Skirgaila as ruler of Lithuania.  Skirgaila proved unpopular and Vytautas attempted to depose him.  When his first attempt to take the capital city of Vilnius failed, Vytautas forged an alliance with the Teutonic Knights, their common enemy – just as both cousins had done during the Lithuanian Civil War between 1381 and 1384.  Vytautas and the Knights unsuccessfully besieged Vilnius in 1390.  Over the next two years it became clear that neither side could achieve a quick victory, and Jogaila proposed a compromise: Vytautas would become Grand Duke and Jogaila would remain Superior Duke.  This proposal was formalized in the Ostrów Agreement of 1392, and Vytautas turned against the Knights.  He went on to reign as Grand Duke of Lithuania for 38 years, and the cousins remained at peace. <SEP> Music in early modern Scotland includes all forms of musical production in Scotland between the early sixteenth century and the mid-eighteenth century.  In this period the court followed the European trend for instrumental accompaniment and playing.  Scottish monarchs of the sixteenth century were patrons of religious and secular music, and some were accomplished musicians.  In the sixteenth century the playing of a musical instrument and singing became an expected accomplishment of noble men and women.  The departure of James VI to rule in London at the Union of Crowns in 1603, meant that the Chapel Royal, Stirling Castle largely fell into disrepair and the major source of patronage was removed from the country.  Important composers of the early sixteenth century included Robert Carver and David Peebles.  The Lutheranism of the early Reformation was sympathetic to the incorporation of Catholic musical traditions and vernacular songs into worship, exemplified by "The Gude and Godlie Ballatis" (1567).  However, the Calvinism that came to dominate Scottish Protestantism led to the closure of song schools, disbanding of choirs, removal of organs and the destruction of music books and manuscripts.  An emphasis was placed on the Psalms, resulting in the production of a series of Psalters and the creation of a tradition of unaccompanied singing.
