- Abstract
The Peace of Vienna concluded in 1606 between the rebellious Hungarian estates and their king, Rudolph of Habsburg, stipulated that fortifications in the country should be commanded by the country's inhabitants. This article motivated a series of negotiations between the representatives of the Hungarian estates and the Inner Austrian ones in 1608 and 1609. The peculiarity of the situation was that since 1578 the line of fortifications in Slavonia and Croatia were exclusively financed by the Inner Austrian estates, and the military officers from the region also came from the region. During the debate, which was exacerbated by the recent memory of the Hungarian raids into Styria in 1605, during the Bocskai uprising, the Inner Austrian party threatened to abandon the arrangement altogether and eventually reached the implicit acceptance of the status quo. The paper analyses the argumentation strategies of both parties and calls attention to the fact that this debate may have been the primary reason why, contrary to other Habsburg territories, the Inner Austrians could not enlist Hungarian support in their quest against their ruler's strict re-Catholisation policies.
