Years: 1470 - 1470

Matthias soon orders the collection of an extraordinary tax without holding a Diet, raising widespread discontent among the Hungarian Estates.

He visits Emperor Frederick in Vienna on February 11, 1470, hoping the Emperor will contribute to the costs of the war against Poděbrady.

Although the negotiations last for a month, no compromise is worked out.

The Emperor also refuses to commit himself to promoting Matthias's election as King of the Romans.

After a month, Matthias departs Vienna without taking formal leave of Frederick III.
