Mailberger Bund#
Mailberg Federation, founded by a group of nobles, knights and representatives of Upper Austrian and Lower Austrian towns (250 members). Led by Ulrich von Eyczing they entered into an alliance against King Friedrich IV in autumn 1451. Their objective was to have Ladislas Posthumus released from tutelage. The principal aim of the Estates, however, was to increase their own influence. After having laid siege to Wiener Neustadt, where the king was in residence at that time, the Estates succeeded in liberating Ladislas in September 1452.
