Years: 1442 - 1442
Zürich had appealed to the conservative Imperial Diet for succor in 1440.
Stüssi, after eradicating his opposition and securing the general support of his townsmen, concludes an alliance with Austria.
When the archconservative Habsburg ruler Frederick III, Duke of Austria and King of Germany, agrees in 1442 to aid Zurich militarily, the Swiss Confederation demands the abrogation of this agreement.
