War over influence in Utrecht, Holland / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Utrecht war of 1481–83[1] (Dutch: Stichtse Oorlog or Driejarige Oorlog,[2][3][4] German: Utrechter Stiftsfehde[5]) was a diocesan feud in the Prince-Bishopric of Utrecht between 1481 and 1483, influenced by the ongoing Hook and Cod wars in the neighbouring County of Holland. It was also a battle for control over Utrecht between the Dukes of Burgundy in the person of ruling Bishop David of Burgundy, and the Duchy of Cleves, which sought to replace him with Engelbert of Cleves.
