Europe
- February 20 : The Bremen archbishop feud escalated when the papal candidate Gottfried von Arnsberg pronounced the ban on his rival Moritz von Oldenburg . Most of the ministerials of the archbishopric, however, continue to support Moritz. The feud develops into a military conflict. On July 13th, after several skirmishes, Moritz reached an agreement on a ceasefire with the city council of Bremen , in which the plague had broken out shortly before. Conrad Graf von Diepholz and the Counts von Hoya , Gerhard III. and Johann II are appointed as arbitrators to resolve the feud. Baldwin von Steinfurt , the bishop of Paderborn , acts as chairman . On September 2nd, Moritz signed an alliance with the city of Bremen. Soon afterwards an agreement was reached with Gottfried - he remained nominally archbishop and Moritz was appointed “guardian of the archbishopric”, which means that he, as a bailiff, effectively exercised power in the archbishopric.
- February 23rd / 24th : The night of murder in Zurich is a planned coup in which, during the Swiss Habsburg Wars, the city is to be conquered within the city walls with the help of conspirators and the government around Mayor Rudolf Brun is to be murdered. By treason, the mayor is informed and well prepared about the overturn plans. Numerous conspirators fell in the fighting that broke out, others were captured and wheeled or beheaded, their goods confiscated. The very next day, Zurich troops move towards Rapperswil , from where the overturn plans originated . The city surrenders and is sacked that same evening. In the subsequent destruction of Rapperswil , the Alt-Rapperswil castle is destroyed and the walls of the city and the castle razed so that Rapperswil can no longer be defended. Troops from the city of Zurich also occupy the Untere March and thus gain control of the Bündner passes .
