Chapter 2164: Not giving in to each other
After thinking about it, Malin finally felt that he could not really accept it. After all, these princes were not good things, and they were all greedy. If it was too easy for them to succeed, they might have more excessive demands. So, they had to resist, and not pretend to resist, but really resist and show off their muscles.
At the end of August, Archbishop Albert III of Mainz launched the new Wolms Empire Conference. In name, the theme of this conference was to discuss the issue of peace in Switzerland. Anyone with discerning eyes knew that this was aimed at His Majesty the Emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor knew in his heart that he did not appeal to the Imperial Council, so he did not come in person on the grounds of physical discomfort, but sent an envoy. After all, the Prime Minister convened an extraordinary meeting and the Emperor came over with a gaze, which seemed too shameless. Only if it was a major meeting or the emperor himself had a appeal would he come in person.
The representative sent by His Majesty the Emperor this time was also very interesting. It was Etter Frederick III, Earl of Hohenzollen from the Swabian region. This branch was an important branch of the Hohenzollen family - the Swabian family. However, unlike the Franknian family, the main branch of the Hohenzollen family, the Hohenzollen family of the Swabian family has a very good relationship with the Habsburg family, and is even an important supporter of the Habsburg family.
For example, Etre Frederick II, Earl of Hohenzollen, who just died two years ago, was the Grand Speaker of Austria and the Grand Marshal of the Austrian army. Moreover, he himself was a close friend of Emperor Maximilian I and had a very good relationship with the Habsburg family. When Marin first went to Vienna to recruit mercenaries, the old Count stood on the stage with the emperor to review the military appearance.
Etel Frederick II's son Etel Frederick III was also a staunch supporter of the Habsburg family. After his father's death, Etel Frederick III continued to serve the emperor and served as the chief of the Austrian court, the palace minister.
In addition, the initiator of this imperial conference, Archbishop Albert III of Mainz, actually came from the Hohenzollern family. He was the younger brother of Jockim I, the Brandenburg Elector, and was very young and was born in 1490. In other words, Marin traveled through time in 1494, when Albert III was only 4 years old.
But he was the son of the Elector and had a strong background. Therefore, at a young age, he was elected as the Archbishop of Magdeburg and then as the Archbishop of Mainz. Of course, his election was not something he expected, but because of his background and money. For example, when he was elected as the Archbishop of Mainz, he spent 500,000 gold coins, and most of them were borrowing.
Therefore, this imperial meeting is very interesting. The convener of the conference was Archbishop Albert III of the Brandenburg branch of the Hohenzollern family, and Jokim I, the leader of the Brandenburg branch of the Hohenzollern family, was an important head of the anti-Habsburg family. But Etel Frederick III, the leader of the Swabian system of the Hohenzollern family, was the most staunch supporter of the Habsburg family...
After the meeting began, the princes of the anti-Habsburg alliance opened fire and questioned Etel Frederick III why the Habsburg family had ill-intentioned plans against Switzerland. Etel Frederick III was not willing to be outdone and came up with a lot of evidence to prove that the Habsburg family had sacred rule over Switzerland "since ancient times".
But the anti-Habsburg family alliance was not without preparation. They showed evidence that the Habsburg family was forced to give up their rule in Switzerland during the reign of Sigismend, the Luxembourg Dynasty emperor...
Interestingly, the Habsburg family lost the rule of Switzerland during the reign of Sigistmend, the emperor of the Luxembourg Dynasty. However, after Sigistmend died, because he had no male descendants, his inheritance rights fell into the hands of his son-in-law, Albrecht of the Habsburg family.
Then, Albrecht inherited the Luxembourg dynasty's territory, including the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Hungary and the Principal of Luxembourg, and was also the ruler of Austria. Unfortunately, he died in Nesmey, Hungary when he led the Kingdom of Hungary to resist the Turkish invasion. At that time, he had been elected as the King of Germany, and as long as he marched into Rome, he could be crowned as Emperor Shenluo.
Then, Albrecht's only son, Laslo V, was expelled by Hungary because of his young age and fled to Austria. At that time, the princes were very immoral to choose Laslo V's cousin, Frederick, Duke of Naius, as the King of Germany. This Duke of Naius Frederick was the father of Maximilian I, and Emperor Frederick III of the Shenluo...
Because he was afraid that his cousin would fight for power with him, Frederick III directly placed Laslow V under house arrest and controlled Austria alone. But in fact, the young Laslow V was the real master of Austria. Frederick III was actually the lord of Nakajima. But the princes deliberately chose him as the King of Germany, in order to fight the Habsburg family.
Later, Austrian nobles rescued Laslow V and restored his rule in Austria and Bohemia. But the young master was unfortunately killed in Prague at the age of 17. At that time, many people speculated that it was Frederick III who sent people to poison him. After all, after Laslow V's death, Austria was indeed in the hands of Frederick III. However, the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Kingdom of Hungary were picked up by the Jagelon Dynasty in Poland.
...
At the meeting, the two sides were quarreling. The Anti-Habsburg Alliance insisted that the Habsburg family had given up Switzerland during the reign of Emperor Sigistmend. However, Etel Frederick III said that it was true that the Habsburg family gave up Switzerland, but later the Emperor Frederick III of the Habsburg family declared that they would take back Switzerland. Of course, Frederick III was very weak, and even could not beat Magash I of Hungary, and lost the capital Vienna, let alone recovering the ancestral land of Switzerland.
Ettle Frederick III, Earl of Hohenzollen, believed that Emperor Sigismend's will count, and Frederick III was also the emperor, and the will count. Therefore, there was no legal problem with the Habsburg family's rule over Switzerland. Moreover, the current emperor Maximilian I also reiterated that the Habsburg family had "undoubted power of domination" over Switzerland.
The anti-Habsburg alliance was not outdone. They said that neither Frederick III nor Maximilian I's sovereignty over Switzerland had been confirmed by the Imperial Parliament, so it did not count.
But Etel Frederick III also refuted that the Habsburg family gave up their rule in Switzerland was only an agreement reached with the Luxembourg dynasty, and it was not officially confirmed by the Imperial Conference. Therefore, the Habsburg family had the right to regain their ancestral land...
In this way, both sides refused to give in, but they all had their own reasons. So, the quarrels continued...
