 In the late summer of 1527, the abbot left Saint Gall and fled first to Wil where the new belief had not yet managed to gain a foothold.The increasing unrest eventually forced him to retreat to the Abbey of Rorschach and afterwards to Castle Saint Anna in Rorschach where he was besieged by rebellious subjects.In Saint Gall, Joachim Vadian and Dominik Zili meanwhile implemented the reformation.
