The Bavarian War from 1420 to 1422, also known as the Great War of the Lords , was a conflict between Ludwig VII of Bavaria-Ingolstadt and Heinrich XVI. from Bavaria-Landshut .
Starting position and course
The conflict with Heinrich XVI., Which was already with Stephan III. Louis VII overshadowed more than thirty years of reign. The fact that Ludwig called his adversary a "pluethunt" (bloodhound) after the attempted murder in Constance certainly did not help to defuse the conflict.
Heinrich XVI., Who was punished for the attack on Ludwig only through the intercession of Friedrichs von Brandenburg and his Munich cousins Ernst and Wilhelm III. and especially by paying 6,000 guilders to King Sigismund , he sought revenge. The battle between the Konstanzer Liga, which he led, and Ludwig culminated in the Bavarian War from 1420 to 1422, which began with the attack on the Nuremberg Burggrafenfeste by the man from Ingolstadt and ended with his defeat by the Munich dukes in the battle of Alling . Johann III. who had been Duke of Straubing-Holland as the successor to his late brother Wilhelm since 1418 and whom Ludwig would have liked to have on his side, behaved neutrally.
Destruction
The most prominent victim of the war was the Nuremberg Burggrafenburg , which was captured and burned down by Ingolstadt troops in a coup d'état. The place Neidertshofen near Gaimersheim was probably destroyed in the Bavarian War. Castle Guttenberg near Kraiburg am Inn in Upper Bavaria or Burg Betzenstein (near Betzenstein ) also belong to the destroyed castles . The war also badly affected the lower Altmühltal and the Hahnenkamm ; so were Dettenheim and Solnhofen burned and Dornhausen largely destroyed.
End of war
At the instigation of King Sigismund, who intended to concentrate his forces on the Hussites , a four-year armistice was concluded between the warring parties in Regensburg on October 2, 1422 with the mediation of Eichstätt Prince-Bishop Johann II von Heideck . The Duchy of Bavaria-Ingolstadt was temporarily subordinated to a royal governor, Ludwig VII. Succeeded the king at his court in Hungary , and Heinrich XVI. was sent to Lithuania to support the Teutonic Order . Ludwig then took legal action again and supported a lawsuit against Heinrich for the attempted murder in Constance and the destruction of the family castle of the Bavarian knight Kaspar Törring near Waginger See .
