After thinking about it, Marin finally felt that he couldn't really lie down and accept it. After all, these princes are not good things, all of them are greedy. If it is too easy for them to succeed, there may be more demanding demands. Therefore, you have to resist, and not to pretend to resist, but to resist and show off your muscles.

At the end of August, Albert III, Archbishop of Mainz, initiated the new Worms Empire Conference. Nominally, the theme of this meeting is to discuss the issue of peace in Switzerland. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is aimed at His Majesty the Emperor.

His Majesty also knew in his heart that he had no appeal to the Imperial Council. Therefore, he did not come personally on the grounds of physical discomfort and only sent messengers. After all, the Prime Minister convened an impromptu meeting, and the emperor came over eagerly, and it seemed too shameful. Only if it is a major meeting, or if the emperor has his own demands, he will come in person.

And this time the representative sent by His Majesty the Emperor is also very interesting, it is Ettle Frederick III, Earl of Hohenzollern from the Swabian region. This branch is an important branch of the Hohenzollern family-the Swabian family, but it is different from the Franconian family, the main branch of the Hohenzollern family, the Hohenzollern family of the Swabian family, and the Habsburg The family relationship is very good, even an important supporter of the Habsburg family.

For example, Ettel Friedrich II, Earl of Hohenzollern, who passed away just two years ago, was once the Grand Speaker of the Austrian Parliament and the Generalissimo of the Austrian Army. Moreover, he himself was also a close friend of Emperor Maximilian I, and had an excellent relationship with the Habsburg family. When Marin went to Vienna for the first time to recruit mercenaries, it was the old earl who stood on stage with the emperor to review the military appearance.

And Eitel Frederick II’s son Eitel Frederick III is also a staunch supporter of the Habsburg family. After the death of his father, Ettel Frederick III continued to serve the emperor as the chief of the Austrian court, that is, the court minister.

In addition, the initiator of this imperial conference, the Archbishop Albert III of Mainz, actually came from the Hohenzollern family. He is the younger brother of the elector of Brandenburg, Joachim I. He was born in 1490. In other words, it was 1494 that Marin crossed over. At that time, Albert III was only 4 years old.

But he is the son of an elector and has a strong background. Therefore, at a young age, he was elected Archbishop of Magdeburg and then Archbishop of Mainz. Of course, his election was not what everyone expected, but because of his background and money spent. For example, when he was elected Archbishop of Mainz, he spent 500,000 gold coins and mostly borrowed money.

Therefore, this imperial meeting is very interesting. The convener of the meeting was Archbishop Albert III of the Brandenburg branch of the Hohenzollern family, and Joachim I, the leader of the Brandenburg branch of the Hohenzollern family, was an important head of the anti-Habsburg family. But Ettel Frederick III, the leader of the Swabian family of the Hohenzollern family, was the most staunch supporter of the Habsburg family...

After the meeting began, the princes of the Anti-Habsburg League fired up and asked Ettel Frederick III why the Habsburg family was plotting against Switzerland. Ettel Frederick III was not to be outdone, and produced a lot of evidence to prove that the Habsburg family has had the sacred rule of Switzerland "since ancient times".

But the anti-Habsburg family alliance is not unprepared. They showed evidence that the Habsburg family was forced to abandon the sovereignty of Switzerland during the time of the Luxembourg emperor Sigismund...

Interestingly, the Habsburg family lost the sovereignty of Switzerland during the reign of Emperor Sigismund of the Luxembourg dynasty. But after Sigismund's death, because he had no male heirs, his inheritance rights fell to his son-in-law, Albrecht of the Habsburg family.

Then, Albrecht inherited the vast lands of the Luxembourg dynasty, including the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Hungary, and the Duchy of Luxembourg, and he was also the ruler of Austria. Unfortunately, he died in Nesmej, Hungary when he led the Kingdom of Hungary to resist the Turkish invasion. At that time, he had been chosen as the King of Germany, as long as he marched into Rome, he could be crowned Emperor of the Shinra.

Later, Albrecht's only son, Laszlo V, was expelled from Hungary because he was young and fled to Austria. At that time, the princes wickedly chose Laszlo V's cousin, Frederick, Duke of Inner Austria, as King of Germany. And this Duke of Inner Austria, Frederick, is the father of Maximilian I, Emperor Frederick III of Shenra...

Fearing that his nephew would fight for power with him, Frederick III directly placed Laszlo V under house arrest and controlled Austria by himself. But in fact, the young Laszlo V is the real master of Austria. Frederick III was actually the lord of Inner Austria. But the princes deliberately chose him as King of Germany because they wanted the Habsburg family to fight inwardly.

Later, the Austrian nobles rescued Laszlo V and allowed him to resume his rule in Austria and Bohemia. Unfortunately, the young master died in Prague at the age of 17. At that time, many people speculated that Frederick III sent someone to poison him. After all, after the death of Laszlo V, Austria indeed fell into the hands of Frederick III. However, the kingdoms of Bohemia and Hungary were taken advantage of by the Jagiellonian dynasty of Poland.

...

At the meeting, the two sides quarreled violently. The Anti-Habsburg League insisted that the Habsburg family had abandoned Switzerland during the time of Emperor Sigismund. However, Eitel Frederick III said that the Habsburg family gave up Switzerland, but later the Emperor Frederick III of the Habsburg family declared that he would take Switzerland back. Of course, Frederick III was very weak, and he could not even beat Matthias I of Hungary, and lost the capital Vienna, let alone regaining the ancestral land of Switzerland.

Earl Frederick III, Earl of Hohenzollern, believed that the will of Emperor Sigismund counts, and Frederick III is also the emperor, and his will also counts. Therefore, the Habsburgs do not have any legal problems with the ruling power of Switzerland. Moreover, the current emperor Maximilian I also reiterated that the Habsburg family had "unquestionable rule" over Switzerland.

The Anti-Habsburg League did not show weakness either. They stated that neither Frederick III nor Maximilian I’s claim to Swiss sovereignty had not been confirmed by the Imperial Parliament, so it did not count.

But Ettel Frederick III also refuted that when the Habsburg family gave up the sovereignty of Switzerland, it was only an agreement with the Luxembourg dynasty, and it was not officially confirmed by the Imperial Conference. Therefore, the Habsburg family has the right to regain their ancestral land...

In this way, the two sides refused to make concessions to each other, but both had their own reasons. So, the quarrel is endless...

As the Grand Duke, Marin sits on the podium with the seven electors. Of course, he was sitting on the very side. However, he had no interest in arguing, and instead took a nap. Both parties in the quarrel watched him doze, and both were a little angry. However, thinking of its powerful strength, he did not want to provoke him. So everyone continued to spray each other, and Marin continued to doze. In order not to be disturbed, Marin also stuffed cotton **** in his ears...
