The sale of Davos to Duke Sigmund of Tyrol marked a pivotal transition in the governance of the region. The Counts of Montfort, who had been managing Davos, encountered a financial impasse that necessitated the sale. This transaction not only altered the ownership of Davos but also prompted the local leadership to seek new alliances for stability and support. In the wake of the sale, Davos turned to the two other Raethian leagues, which were crucial for regional governance and security. This led to the establishment of a treaty with the Grey League, aimed at fostering cooperation and mutual defense among the leagues. The treaty was significant in reinforcing the political landscape of the area, as it allowed Davos to secure its interests and maintain a degree of autonomy despite the change in ownership. The alliance with the Grey League was instrumental in ensuring that Davos could navigate the complexities of its new political reality under Tyrolean rule, highlighting the importance of strategic partnerships in times of transition.
