The main text says "3000 to 5000 men" for the Austrians, the table says "3000 to 4000". Pukkie 06:17, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
The intro para says the Swiss at Morgarten were archers. This is wrong. Further down, the text says they were armed with improvised weapons and halberds. This is correct. Check in Charles Oman. 81.158.253.239 ( talk) 09:50, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Small article which needs a bit of help to achieve better consistency and to follow MoS.-- Codrin.B ( talk) 23:53, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
Nice copy edit work! I moved the discussion here from WP:GOCE since it got archived and in a dead track. Regarding the peace treaty, the German version of the article has the following statement: "a ten-month truce, which was extended several times". -- Codrin.B ( talk) 17:30, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
The Habsburgs' hereditary possessions (i.e. Aargau) were situated in the old, defunct, duchy of Swabia between the Rhine and the Alpes, the region which is now Switzerland, southwestern Germany and French Alsace. (they had only acquired the duchy of Austria some 40 years before. Duke Leopold I. was appointed as administrator for these old Habsburg lands by his brother. Naturally, his army was recruited there and not in Austria. At that time the Habsburgs were much more Alemannic/Swabian than Austrian!!! This should be changed.
(btw historians use the term "Austrian army" for an Habsburg army only from 1740 onwards) 213.33.19.47 ( talk) 20:31, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
