The Prussian Confederation had in 1452 asked Frederick for mediation in their conflict with the Teutonic Order.
Disagreeing with the confederacy, Frederick had banned it and had ordered it to obey the Teutonic Order on December 5, 1453.
Faced with this situation, the Prussians send envoys to Poland—although the Prussian Confederation, under the influence of Thorn and the Pomeranian and Culmerland nobility, has already sought contact with the Poles.
They receive support, especially from Greater Poland and from the party of Queen Sophia of Halshany, mother of King Casimir IV Jagiellon of Poland.
The Bishop of Kraków, Zbigniew Oleśnicki, opposes this support and try to prevent war.
