The position of the Emperor in Bohemia,…
May 1619 CE
The position of the Emperor in Bohemia, as in Lower and Upper Austria, had by the end of 1618 gradually become critical.
The Emperor, seeking help, has tried to restore the Catholic League.
A meeting of several of the ecclesiastical Princes decides to reconstruct the League on its original basis.
It is to consist of two groups: the Rhenish district under the presidency of Mainz, and the Oberland district, presided by Bavaria; the treasury and the military command are to be considered separate.
Maximilian can only lead the whole of the troops when he has to appear in the Rhenish district.
Both groups are established on May 31, and bind themselves to render mutual help for six years.
