In the 14th century at least six fires damaged or destroyed the monasteries of St Luzi and St Nicolai and St Martin's church and twice destroyed much of the town. The <a href="/wiki/League_of_God%27s_House" title="League of God's House">Gotteshausbund</a> (League of the House of God) was formed in 1367 in Chur to resist the rising power of the Bishopric of Chur and the House of Habsburg. Chur was the chief town of the League and one of the places the League’s assemblies met regularly. A burgmeister (mayor) of Chur is first mentioned in 1413. The bishop's residence was attacked by the inhabitants in 1418 and 1422, when a series of concessions were wrung out of him. </p><p>On 27 April 1464 most of the town was destroyed in a fire, which only the bishop's estates and St Luzi monastery survived.

The Emperor reconfirmed the historic rights of Chur and also granted them extensive new rights which freed the city from the bishop's power. In 1465 the citizens wrote a constitution that granted all governmental power to Chur's guilds. All government positions were restricted to guild members, allowing the guilds to regulate all aspects of life in Chur. Since guild membership had become the only route to political power, local patricians and nobles quickly became guild members, often joining the <a href="/wiki/Winemaker" title="Winemaker">winemakers</a> guild.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Chur-led League of the House of God allied with the <a href="/wiki/Grey_League" title="Grey League">Grey League</a> and the <a href="/wiki/League_of_the_Ten_Jurisdictions" title="League of the Ten Jurisdictions">League of the Ten Jurisdictions</a> in 1471 to form the <a href="/wiki/Three_Leagues" title="Three Leagues">Three Leagues</a>.
