Battle of Morgarten (1315)
The Battle of Morgarten on 15 November 1315 was the first battle between the Confederates and the Habsburgs and their allies. It marks the beginning of the Swiss Habsburg Wars. The historic skirmish was reinterpreted in the 19th century as the great heroic battle and has been part of the founding myth of Switzerland since 1848. The critical reappraisal of history, which made itself heard from the 1970s onwards, allows us today to look at the events of Morgarten in all their complexity and historicity. (luk)
