Summary
| Description |
English: Depiction of the Swiss confederate flags at the battle of Nancy (1477)
Detail of the plate depicting the battle in the Luzerner Chronik of Diebold Schilling (1513). All flags of the Eight Cantons are shown, but the flags of Berne and Uri omit the heraldic animal, showing only the cantonal colours. In addition, the flags of Fribourg and Solothurn are shown, at the time not yet full members, who would join the confederacy in the aftermath of this battle, in 1481. The flag of the city of Basel is shown separately, behind the confederate flags (not included in this detail). Each flag has the white confederate cross attached, those of Schwyz, Lucerne and Zug in the center, the others in the top corner at the host, except for Glarus, where it is in the top corner at the fly (apparently for reasons of space), and for Zürich, which is partially obscured behind Zug and Glarus, so that no cross is visible (but the red Schwenkel at the top of the flag of Zürich is visible). |
