In 1724, the two electors made a pact to act as joint vicars, but the Imperial Diet rejected the agreement. Finally, in 1745, the two agreed to alternate as vicar, with Bavaria starting first. This arrangement was upheld by the Imperial Diet at Regensburg in 1752.
In 1724, two electors formed an agreement to serve together as vicars, but their proposal was met with opposition from the Imperial Diet. After several years of discussion, they reached a compromise in 1745, agreeing to take turns serving as vicar, with Bavaria initiating the rotation. This arrangement was later validated by the Imperial Diet at Regensburg in 1752.
