Pressburg arbitration award

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The division of Bavaria-Straubing in 1429

In the Pressburg arbitration award (also Pressburger Spruch or Pressburger Schied ) the Roman-German King Sigismund decreed on April 24 or 26, 1429 the distribution of the former Duchy of Straubing-Holland to the dukes of the other three Bavarian duchies.

The Straubing-Holland line of the House of Wittelsbach was with the murder of Johann III. Extinct in the male line in 1425. The three other lines Bayern-Landshut , Bayern-Ingolstadt and Bayern-Munich could not agree on the division of the Straubinger Länd due to different legal opinions . King Sigismund's attempt to settle the dispute by dividing the disputed area into three met the resistance of Ludwig the Bearded of Bavaria-Ingolstadt. In the period that followed, Duke Heinrich the Rich from Landshut and the Munich Dukes Ernst and Wilhelm came together , but the situation remained tense due to a dispute over the caretaker position in Schärding and a feud against the Lower Bavarian nobleman Tristram Zenger .

First proclaimed in April 1429 Bratislava arbitration Sigismund, who according to the number of the ruling Dukes envisaged a quartering of Straubinger heritage, the decision brought. The division of the country ordered by the king was carried out on June 29 of the same year. The Straubing Committee of Twenty-five then clarified any controversial issues between Munich and Ingolstadt without Landshut's participation. The consequences of the dispute over Straubing-Holland for Munich and Landshut preoccupied the estates of the two partial duchies until 1434, as Heinrich the Rich refused to reimburse Ernst and Wilhelm for the additional income expected from the tripartite division of the Straubing land planned in 1426.
