Henry XI
As a Duke of Legnica, Henry XI tried to refinance the debt. In 1567 he proposed them in exchange for 120 000 talers the Głogow Privilege, who guarantied the freedom from the homage of the subjects who declared him his heir. However, the idea wasn't accepted. On 24 December 1571 Henry XI tried to induce his subjects to pay off his debts, offering against their own goods and valuables. Also declared their devotion in return for a fixed salary, ensuring that corresponding to his position on the social level. Given the failure of the proposals, Henry XI decided to keep in captivity the representatives of the Legnica states until they signed an agreement to pay taxes for almost 66 000 talers. After regaining their freedom they fled to Vienna, where the representatives registered a complaint with the Emperor Maximilian II against the Duke of Legnica. The Emperor appointed a special committee to look into the matter.
