The ‘Assembly of Princes’ took place in the free city of Frankfurt in the summer of 1863. It was convened by the Austrian Emperor, Franz Joseph, who proposed reforms to the German Confederation. The King of Prussia, taking advice from Otto von Bismarck, boycotted the congress, making the Frankfurt meeting ultimately unsuccessful.
