 Montecuccoli left small German mercenary troops in five Transylvanian strongholds and Apafi vainly requested Leopold I to surrender them.Apafi convened the Diet to Kleinschelken (Șeica Mică) to secure the full legitimization of his rule, because his appointment violated the constitutional principle of the free election of the princes.After he fook the customary princely oath, the Diet installed him as prince on 20 November.
