Von Sickingen's castle at Landstuhl is stormed by the joint
forces of the Elector Palatine, the Landgrave of Hesse and the
Archbishop of Trier, in the War of the German Knights. In the
course of the fighting, the alliance of Lutheran knights is
defeated, as Franz von Sickingen is killed and Ulrich von Hutten
goes into exile, ultimately dying in Zurich.
