Duke Friedrich and Leopold of Austria

There king Friedrich in the force Ludwig of Bavaria imprisoned was to Trausnitz1 on celebrations, called), came a probably-scholarly man to duke a Leopold of Oestreich (the prisoner brother) and spoke: "I want to take property and swear to and force the devil that he must Euern brother, king Friedrich, from that prison ago to you brings." Thus the two, duke Leopold and the master, went into the chamber; there the master drove his art, and came the devil to them in a Pilgrims way and ward meant that he would bring king Friedrich ohn all damage. The devil answered, it wanted to probably do that, where the king would follow it. Thus the devil drove away, came to Friedrich to Trausnitz and spoke: "seats ago on me, then I want to bring you without damage to your brother." The king said: "who are you?" The devil shifted and spoke: "question not about it; if you want to come from that prison, then do, which is called I you." There ward grey and crosses before itself made kings for that and those, which guarded its. There the devil disappeared.
      Afterwards duke Leopold the king Ludwig taet thus pain with war that he had to leave king Friedrich from the prison. But it had to swear and guarantee, king Ludwig for that not to mad at the realm.

Margareta Maultasch

In Tirol and Kaernten the inhabitants tell much of the immediate Margareta Maultasch, which before old times princess of the country is and is had a so large muzzle, designated of it it. The Klagenfurter does not go to the praying bell gladly into the arsenal, where its tank is kept, or the Vorwitz is punished with crude muzzle clips. At the large well, where the Drache poured out of ore stands, one sees it at certain times on dark red horses to ride. For Unfern of the lock Osterwitz stand old walls; some hirten, who feasted their herds there on the field, approached imprudently and with whip blows were received. One attached therefore certain indications, beyond which no its cattle float there; and even the cattle may not eat the beautiful, fat grass, which grows at that places, if ignorant hirten drove it with trouble there. Particularly however the spirit appears on the old lock with Meran, neckt the guests and is once with the bare sword on a neuvermaehltes brautpaar at the wedding night eingehauen to have to kill but without someone. In its life this Margareta was martial, stormed and devastated castles and cities and poured innocent blood.

Radbod of having castle

In the Xth century Radbod created a castle, called having castle (Habichtsburg, on its own property in the Aargau rock nest), small, but firmly. When it was completed, bishop Werner, its brother, him money given came to see the building and was dissatisfied with the small extent. At night however count Radbod let his Dienstmannen muster and surround the castle. When now the bishop out-looked in the morning and surprised themselves, its brother spoke: "I an alive wall built, and the loyalty of courageous men is the firmest castle."

Idda of Toggenburg

A rabe kidnapped to the countess Idda of Toggenburg, the sex of Kirchberg, its bride ring by an open window. A service man of the count Heinrichs, their husband, found him and accepted him; the count recognized it by its fingers. Furiously it hurried to the unfortunate Idda and fell it into the ditch of the high Toggenburg; it let the service man down-sharpen at the tail of a wild horse the rock. Meanwhile the countess kept in falls down at a Gestraeuch, about which she detached herself at night. It went into a forest, lived on water and roots; as her innocence clearly become, a hunter found the countess Idda. The count asked much; it did not want to live no more with it, but remained quiet and holy in the monastery to Fischingen.

Emigration of Swiss

It was an old kingdom in the country against midnight, in the country that Sweden and Friesen1); over the same hunger and expensive time came. In this emergency the municipality collected itself; it was decided by most voices that each month the people should meet and draw; whom the lot would meet, which had to pull high ones and low ones, men, women and children with life punishment from the country. This happened for a while; but it did not help out soon, and one knew to find no more food to humans. There the advice met again and ordered, it was to draw now every eight days the tenth man, emigrates and never more to return. Thus the exit from the country in midnight, over high mountains and deep valleys, with large pain complaints of all relatives and friends happened; the mothers led their minor children. In three heaps those pulled to Sweden, together six thousand men, largely like the giants, with woman and children, have and property. They swore to each other never rely and chose three main people over itself by the lot, their name were Switer (Swiss), Swey and Hasius. Twelve hundred Friesen followed them. They became rich at driving property by their victoryful arm. When they pulled by Franconias and wanted over the Rhine stream, ward it count Peter von Franken kund and others; those opened themselves, wanted to resist and them the road for their course shift. The enemies thought for defeating with their strong army the poor people easily how one hunts dogs and wolves, to take and to them property and weapons. But Swiss pierced themselves lucky, made large booty and asked to God for a country like the country of their Altvordern, where they would like to feast their cattle in peace; there it led God into the one area, was called the Brochenburg. There grew well meat and also milk and much beautiful grain, daselbst sat it down and built Schwytz, mentioned after Schwyzer, its first captain. The people mehrte itself, in whom valley was not area enough, it had some heavy day, eh them the country use gave; was their playing the violin elbow exterminates the forest. A part of the quantities pulled in the country to the black mountain, which brown-hit a corner now is called. They pulled it over the Gebirg in the valley, where the Aar runs, there worked emsig to day and night and built huts. However from the city the Haessle in Sweden came, occupied Hasli in the white country (Oberhasli) and lived daselbst under Hasius, the third captain. The count von Habsburg gave them his permission for it. God had given them the country that they should be inside; from Sweden they were born, carried dresses from rough Zwillich, fed themselves from milk, Kaes and meat and educated their children thereby.
      Hirten knew to tell still between 1777-80, as in old centuries the people from mountain to mountain, pulled from valley in valley, after Frutigen, Obersibental, Sanen, Afflentsch and Jaun; beyond Jaun other trunks live. The mountains were however inhabited before the valleys.

The oxen on the field to Melchtal

It sat to Sarnen of one of landing mountain, that was daselbst Vogt; that heard that a land man in Melchtal would have a pretty course oxen; there it supply, sent a farmhand and was called it the oxen brings: Farmers should pull the plow, it want the oxen to have. The farmhand did, what was ordered to him. Now the poor pious land man had a son; when the farmhand wanted to up-bind the yokes of the oxen, the son with the Garb (put) struck the farmhand the fingers divides. Gehub badly, home ran itself and complained. The good poor Knab probably provided itself: where it would not yield that it would have to suffer therefore, fled and escaped. Mr. ward zornig and sent still more people out, there the boy had escaped; there they caught the old father, let the gentleman the eyes outdo and took to him, which he had.

The Luzerner Harschhoerner

Swiss need trumpets, Trummeln and whistles, but are a large difference between the landsknechtischen and Swiss federal impact; because that is somewhat more gemaecher. Of Uri a man in addition ordered, whom one calls the bull of Uri, which blows a horn of a wild Urochsen in the war, beautifully with silver fitted. Those of Luzern need however ehrine Harschhoerner, gave them king Karl in honours, as them courageously argued in the Runzifaller battle. There it goennte them that they would like to always lead horns and should, like it Roland, his owner cousin, also led.

Heinrich with the gueldenen car

At times king of Ludwig of France lived in Swabia Eticho of the Welf, enriches gentleman, sat to Ravensburg and Altorf; its wife was called Judith, king daughter from angel country, and its son Heinrich. Eticho was so richly and proudly that he drove gueldenen in the sign, and wanted to be country neither from emperor nor king in Lehen take let; it forbade also to Heinrich, its son. This however, whose sister emperor Ludwig was vermaehlt, could be talked over once by the same that he claimed and asked a country from the emperor to lend to him so much as it with a gueldenen car in a morning umfahren could in Bavaria. That happened, Ludwig however did not think to it capable of not such wealth that he was able a gueldenen car. There Heinrich had always fresh horses and umfuhr a large mark of country and had a gueldenen car in the lap. Ward thus the emperor Mann. Therefore its father took to see so degraded in the anger and from shame, his noble sex twelve noblemen to itself, went into a mountain and remained inside, bequeathed the hole that nobody him could find. That happened with the Scherenzer1) forest, therein verhaermte itself it with the twelve noblemen.
