> A feud between Landgrave Louis III of Thuringia and Archbishop Conrad of Mainz, which had existed since the defeat of Henry the Lion, intensified to the point that King Henry VI was forced to intervene while he was traveling through the region during a military campaign against Poland. Henry decided to call a diet in Erfurt, where he was staying, to mediate the situation between the two and invited a number of other figures to the negotiations.
So… was the feud resolved at all by the incident? It may have taken key players / drivers out and the absurdity of the situation might have given all parties a reason to pause. On the other hand it could have made it worse. I will investigate behind a proper keyboard in a bit, but if anyone else here knows please quench my curiosity.
