2.The valuable description of the terrain is to be found in Köhler, Warfare of the Knightly Period(Kriegswesen der Ritterzeit),2:717.

3.Kujot and Krollmann arrived at other conclusions on a number of points. Nevertheless, I have in general stood by my earlier account.

4.There is probably injected into this description an account of French knights from the battle of Nikopol, which took place fourteen years earlier. There were no Hungarians at Tannenberg.

1.That is the opinion of Oechsli, in The Beginnings of the Swiss Confederation(Die Anfänge der Schweizerischen Eidgenossenschaft),p.121.

2.Oechsli, p.230. Durrer, The Unity of Unterwalden(Die Einheit Unterwaldens)Jahrbücher fur Schweizerische Geschichte,1910,p.96,confirms Oechsli’s assumption.

3.In 1252 the abbot of Saint Gall took them into his service in a feud with the bishop of Constance. Oechsli, p.229.

4.One of the captured monks composed a very interesting culturalhistorical poem in Latin on this subject. An old German translation of this poem with explanatory remarks has been edited by Leo Wirth, A Prelude to the Battle on the Morgarten(Ein Vorspiel der Morgartenschlacht),Aarau,1909.114 pages.

1.A.Nüscheler, in “The Letzinen in Switzerland”(“Die Letzinen in der Schweiz”),Mitteilungen der antiquarischen Gesellschaft in Zurich, Vol.18,Issue No.1,Zurich,1872.With respect to Näfels, see Dändliker, Geschichte der Schweiz,1:531,note.

2.This is expressly reported by Vitoduran.

3.Morgarten is the mountain east of the lake. Schorno is 1,100 meters south of the lake, and Sattel is somewhat farther south, where the road from Schorno meets the road from Altmatt.

4.One might ask why the Schwyzers later(1322)extended the letzi near Schorno, since its absence had, after all, done them the good service in 1315 of attracting the duke onto the dangerous route. The answer may be that they could in no case count on surprising the enemy a second time at the same place and therefore preferred to protect the land here also.

5.The fact that Vitoduran gives a strength of 20,000 men is, of course, meaningless.

6.Werner Stauffacher had led the Schwyzers in January 1314 in the raid on Einsiedeln and appears again in sources after the battle at the head of his country. Oechsli, p.352.

7.As we have already seen above, Oechsli estimates the population of Schwyz at that time at some 18,000. Even if it should have been a few thousand smaller, we must still assume that in the most extreme danger even the last available man was called up. We surely cannot go below a figure of 3,000. In addition, there were also the men of Arth, those of Uri, and perhaps also men of Unterwalden. But we must make a small deduction for the garrison of the letzi of Arth and perhaps also of Brunnen, to defend against an attack by water.

The numerical superiority of the confederates in the actual battle was even greater because part of the Hapsburg troops, for example, the Winterthur contingent, were still on the way.
1700096996
1700096997
8.In later accounts, the advance guard is designated as the “banished ones”(“Verbannten”),and this has given rise to the most varied interpretations. Nevertheless, this is simply a question of a misunderstood word. The misunderstanding is clarified by H. Herzog in the Schweizerische Monatshefte für Offiziere aller Waffen,1906.

9.All available accounts have been printed one after the other by Thomas von Liebenau in the Mitteilungen des historischen Vereins des Kantons Schwyz, Issue No.3,1884.

Of value in this analysis are the notes Dändliker added in the fourth edition of his Geschichte der Schweiz, after he changed his earlier account in favor of the Bürkli concept(p.700).
1700097002
1700097003
Bürkli followed up his first work, The Creation of the Swiss Confederation and the Battle on the Morgarten(Die Entstehung der Schweizer Eidgenossenschaft und die Schlacht am Morgarten),1891,with a second treatment under the title “A Monument on the Morgarten”(“Ein Denkmal am Morgarten”),in the Zuger Neujahrsblatt für das Jahr 1895(published by W.Anderwert). This article is also accompanied by a good special map.

1.It is an unproven supposition that Austria stood behind the alliance against Bern. If the House of Hapsburg had really wanted to defeat Bern at that time, it would have acted very foolishly by keeping itself in reserve instead of immediately sending so many forces to join the allies that the victory would be assured. I mention this only so that it will not be concluded possibly from the presumed secret alliance of Austria with the enemies of Bern, that the forest cantons, too, because they were also enemies of Austria, would have had an interest in the war.

In 1383 Uri and Unterwalden received 4,445 pounds from Bern for military assistance given in the Kyburg war.
