The Swiss Confederation around 1300

25 February 2022

The classic themes of early Swiss history concentrate on the Confederation letter and oath of 1291, the victory at Morgarten in 1315 and imperial freedom (Reichsunmittelbarkeit). They are presented in a new way and placed in a broader political, economic and social context.

The book (German language) is based on years of intensive research and highlights the beginnings of the Swiss Confederation around 1300.
