 Count Louis I of Homberg, a cousin of duke Rudolf, fought on the side of the Bernese and fell, to the consternation of the duke.In the following negotiations, Bern was forced to again accept taxes and reparation payments, but it retained its imperial immediacy and did not fall to the House of Habsburg.Within Bern, the defeat led to a political crisis, resulting in a constitution that gave more rights to the craftsmen's guilds.
