Everything about Stanser Verkommnis totally explained
In the
Stanser Verkommnis (Treaty of
Stans) of
1481 the
Tagsatzung solved the latent conflict between the rural and urban cantons of the
Old Swiss Confederacy, averting the breaking of the Confederacy, and triggering its further expansion from 8 to 13 members until 1513.
The tensions between the cantons had arisen in the wake of the
Burgundy Wars, among other things due to disagreement over the distribution of spoils.
According to
Diebold Schilling the Younger, who was present at the session of the Tagsatzung, the conflict was resolved as on 22 December the pastor of Stans, Heini Amgrund, brought a message from the hermit
Niklaus von Flüe. Upon reception of the message, the quarrels were laid aside. The content of the message is unknown.
The compromise solution entailed the accession of
Fribourg and
Solothurn as full members of the Confederacy.
