Both the town of Zug and the Aeusser Amt, or Outer District consisting of the surrounding villages and towns, had entered the Swiss Confederation on June 27, 1352, the latter being received on exactly the same terms as the town, and not, as was usual in the case of outer districts, as a subject land; but in September 1352, Zug had had to acknowledge its own lords again, and in 1355 had been obliged to break off its connection with the league.

The town and the Aeusser Amt are recovered for the league by the men of Schwyz in about 1364, and from this time Zug will take part as a full member in all the acts of the league.
