When Zurich entered into a special alliance with the Habsburg House of Austria, the Swiss Forest Cantons and Glarus marched against Zurich itself and inflicted a sharp defeat to the south at St Jakob on the Sihl, killing Zurich Burgomaster Rudolf Stussi. However, when Confederate forces besieged Zurich a year later, France intervened at the battle of St Jakob on the Birs.
