In 1449 he got into a conflict with Heinrich Pfalzgraf bei Rhein and Duke von Oberbayern because he had obstructed Bavarian merchants traveling through. The conflict was settled through the mediation of his brother. In 1457, King Ladislaus Postumus of Hungary made him the leader of the embassy that was to accompany his fiancée Madeleine of France to the upcoming wedding in Prague.
