Years: 1452 - 1452

The pressure of the Austrian estates to free Ladislaus had grown from 1450.

In 1451, Frederick had successfully faced an insurrection by Austrian nobles who demand possession of Ladislas, and had retained his regency over the boy.

The nobles enter into the Mailberg Confederation under the leadership of Ulrich, Baron of Eyczing, and Ulrich II, Princely Count of Celje.

After his coronation, in Rome, as Holy Roman Emperor in 1452, Frederick is surrounded in his capital at Wiener Neustadt, Austria, by sixteen thousand troops under Ulrich of Cilli, a cousin of Ladislas and a power in Austria.

Upon Frederick’s surrender of Ladislas, Ulrich takes the twelve-year-old monarch to Vienna.
