Quarrels between highly-elevated members of state marked the tribunal; it was their course of action that determined the outcome.[45] A considerable threat to the assembly were Janusz II of P?ock and his brother Konrad, escorted a company of 1,000 hardline soldiers sent from the Duchy of Masovia.[46][47] Janusz's candidacy was endorsed by a strictly covert contingent of conservatives, whose intention was to restore the ancient House of Piast on the Polish throne. Zbigniew Ole?nicki, Primate of Poland, was part of that faction but was unable to attend due to poor health.[48] Thereby, the Queen Dowager Elizabeth nominated her acquiescent son, Frederick Jagiellon, to lead the proceedings in his stead.[49]
