Peter von Kastilien was politically opposed to Duke Hans, had cast his lot with Dietrich and Wolfgang as a Lutheran, and was expected by all to join the war on the side of the Army of Light or the Principality of Swabia.
Hans was besieging Metz and Peter had the perfect opportunity to decisively swing the war in the rebels' favor by attacking him from behind and having the Metz rebels join him to envelop Hans's forces, but instead he joined Hans in the assault of Metz, surprising the Army of Light and Lothar Steffen, and perhaps changing the outcome of the Swabian Civil War completely.
