The conflict seems to have had a significant influence on what was going to happen in Northern Estonia, as already for some time, the Order had planned to buy the area from Denmark. Vassals opposed this plan, as they wanted to stay under the rule of a weak king, which allowed them to enjoy relatively wide privileges.
Ühtlasi oli sõja algusel ilmselt oluline mõju ka selles, et Põhja-Eestit oli ordu juba pikemat aega plaaninud Taanilt ära osta. Sealsed vasallid olid plaanile aga vastu, soovides nõrga kuningavõimu all võimalikult suurt vabadust nautida.
