The membership of Austria makes the Catholic League part of the struggles between the emperor and his Protestant vassals in Bohemia and Lower Austria, which will lead to the beginning of the Thirty Years War.
Duke Maximilian of Bavaria refuses to accept the resolutions of Ratisbon and even resigns the post as president, when Archduke Maximilian of Austria, the Prince Elector of Mainz, and the Prince Elector of Trier, protest the inclusion of the Bishop of Augsburg and the Provost of Ellwangen in the Bavarian Directory.
Bavaria, with the Prince-Bishops of Bamberg, Eichstädt, Würzburg, and the Prince-Provost of Ellwangen, form a separate league on May 27, 1617; it is to last for nine years.
