Years: 1236 - 1236

The Emperor imposes an imperial ban on the Duke of Austria in June 1236.

Troops dispatched against the Duke force him to flee Vienna for Wiener Neustadt.

He will continue to rule a rump state for the following year.

The Emperor declares direct imperial rule in both Austria and the Duchy of Styria, also held by the fleeing Duke.

Ekbert von Andechs-Meranien, former Bishop of Bamberg, is installed as governor in the two Duchies.
