When asked by emperor Frederick to also join the Swabian League, the Eidgenossen flatly refused: they saw no reason to join an alliance designed to further Habsburg interests, and they were wary of this new, relatively closely knit and powerful alliance that had arisen on their northern frontier.
Zahtjev cara Fridrika da se pridruže švapskom savezu, Eidgenossen je glatko odbio: nisu vidjeli razlog za pridruženje savezu dizajniranom za daljnje habsburške interese, i bili su oprezni zbog ovog novog, relativno usko povezanog i moćnog saveza nastalog na njihovim sjevernim granicama.
