Treaty of Tübingen

The treaty concluded the Poor Conrad revolt against Ulrich and annulled his recent taxes on the populace of the Duchy, while the Estates of his realm agreed to liquidate his substantial debts.

seat of the defunct Duke of Teck and formerly a possession of the House of Zähringen, Württemberg had a case for elevation to ducal status.

[3] In 1495, at the Diet of Worms,[1] Emperor Maximilian I made Württemberg a Duchy in what would be the final such elevation of an Imperial Count to a title other than "Prince" (Fürst).

[10] The treaty, which transformed the Estates of the Duchy into a check on ducal power,[11] was for a time regarded by scholars as a "Württemberger Magna Carta",[12] though this comparison has been discredited.

[13] Because of Tübingen's role in ending the Poor Conrad revolt, Ulrich awarded the city the right to bear the Ducal stag antlers on its coat of arms above its blazon on 18 August 1514.
