Description	Papal diplomacy, represented at the Imperial Court by the Nuncius Antonio Caetani (1607-1611), adopted a very cautious attitude towards the plan of Maximilian, Duke of Bavaria to establish a League of Catholic Rulers. This attitude only changed in April 1609 as a result of the appropriation of properties belonging to the Bishop of Speyer by the Elector of Palatinate. In addition, in May 1609 the Nuncius Caetani, together with the Spanish Envoy Zuniga, dispatched a Capuchin Lawrence of Brindisi to the Spanish king in order to gain his support for the League.
