The authors have brought four different perspectives to this book. The result is a foray through a time of power intrigue, desire for freedom, castles, lansquenets and statesmanlike considerations. The time of the Engadine War is exciting - with this book in hand, it can be explored and experienced.
In the Engadine War (also known as the Swabian War or Swiss War, January to September 1499), the armies of the Habsburgs, the Confederates and the Grisons fought for supremacy - in the years when the Renaissance was in high bloom. That is why well-known persons and families such as Emperor Maximilian I or the Milanese Sforza play just as important a role as the nameless spade bearers who went into the field in small formations.
