The Prussians, having been put in charge…

November 1790 CE

The Prussians, having been put in charge of mediating between the revolutionaries and the Lower Rhenish–Westphalian Circle, occupy the city of Liège and other major towns in the principality from November 1789 to April 1790.

However, it proves impossible to reconcile the people's liberal aspirations with the stubborn authoritarianism of the still-exiled Hoensbroeck.

Leopold II, Holy Roman Emperor, recaptures the Austrian Netherlands, then intervenes to reestablish episcopal power in its entirety.
