Nuremberg, League of

    0.02 sec.

Nuremberg, League of

Political union formed by Catholic princes of Germany in 1538. Its aim was to oppose the Protestant Schmalkaldic League, and one of its main supporters was Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, the brother of Emperor Charles V. Open conflict between the two leagues was averted by the Frankfurter Respite of 1539, both sides being unwilling to fight at a time when the threat from the Ottoman Empire was acute.
