Ep. 20. The Oath on the Rütli 1307

In this episode 4 of series 2 - I recount the stories of the Oath on the Rütli or Rütlischwur of 1307. Is the event historical? How does it affect subsequent events since it does form a core part of the liberation tradition in Switzerland?There's a Facebook page where I share news, maps and images that support the narrative - Switzerland, a Chronicle. I am creating a podcast website that will largely replace this and include the text of the episodes.
