This is the only candidate on record for a possible identification of Winkelried with an historical character. Liebenau supposes that because this Erni signed as

444-541: The 1470s, that is within 50 or at the most 90 years of the battle, but the name of "Winkelried" was not associated with the hero before the 1530s or perhaps the 1520s, i.e. the time of the Swiss Reformation , more than 130 years after the battle. The history of the Winkelried family of Stans has been minutely worked out from the original documents by Hermann von Liebenau in 1854. According to his research, they were

481-506: The 16th century is evidence from lists of those who fell at Sempach; the "Anniversary Book" of Emmetten in Unterwalden (drawn up in 1560) has "der Winkelriedt" at the head of the Nidwalden men. A book by Horolanus, a pastor at Lucerne (about 1563), has "Erni Winckelried" some way down the list of Unterwalden men. It thus appears that the legend may have originated by the 1430s, or at the latest

518-463: The 19th century. After autumn storms had caused widespread floods in the Swiss Alps in late September and early October 1868, officials launched an aid campaign under that slogan, deliberately using it to evoke a sense of duty and solidarity and national unity in the population of the young nation. Switzerland had become a federal state only 20 years earlier, and the last civil war among the cantons ,

555-460: The Winkelried family," this being expanded in the final recension of the chronicle (1564) into "a man of Unterwalden , Arnold von Winckelried by name, a brave knight,". He is entered (in the same book, on the authority of the "Anniversary Book" of Stans, now lost) on the list of those who fell at Sempach at the head of the Nidwalden (or Stans) men as "Herr Arnold von Winckelriet, Ritter," this being in

592-445: The battle, and only died of his wounds on the way home in a boat on Lake Sempach. The historicity of Winkelried and his deed has been taken for granted in 19th-century historiography, but in the 20th century it was commonly deconstructed as pure legend. Since the late 20th century, scholarship is again inclined to consider its historicity as plausible, even though no positive proof can be given to substantiate it. The earliest record of

629-491: The book. There is a philosophy called " Winkelriedism  [ pl ] ", which name is taken from the hero's name. It is based on an individual giving himself up idealistically and sacrificially to the enemy for the betterment of others. Juliusz Słowacki created this way of thinking in his dramatic poem " Kordian ", where the titular character decides to kill the Tsar of Russia to take Poland 's suffering on himself, easing

666-621: The close ranks of the Habsburg pikemen . Winkelried cried: "I will open a passage into the line; protect, dear countrymen and confederates, my wife and children..." He then threw himself upon the Austrian pikes, taking some of them down with his body. This broke up the Austrian front, and made an opening through which the Swiss could attack. As phrased in the Halbsuterlied printed in the 1530s by Aegidius Tschudi and Wernher Steiner : Des adels her

740-513: The deed is in the Zürcher Chronik , a manuscript compiled in the 1480s based on older sources.

In the chronicle of Diebold Schilling of Berne (c. 1480), in the picture of the battle of Sempach there is a warrior pierced with spears falling to

777-597: The first draft "Arnold Winckelriet." Some recensions of the Sempacherlied , which originally dates to about the time of the Burgundian Wars in the 1470s, do mention Winkelried, but these sections are mostly considered additions from the early 16th century, as in the additions by H. Berlinger of Basel to Etterlin's chronicle (made between 1531 and 1545), or the version in Werner Steiner's chronicle (1532). Also from

814-466: The first rank of pikes by Winkelried could lead to immediate disaster for the Austrian side, as the leaders of the army were fighting in the van.

Haller also reports a folk tradition according to which Winkelried was found still alive after

Two other verses describe the order of battle of the Austrian side. According to this testimony, the knights dismounted, presumably because they were forced to fight from

888-559: The ground, which may possibly be meant to be Winkelried. In the chronicle of Diebold Schilling of Lucerne (1511), though in the text no allusion is made to any such incident, there is a similar picture of a man who has accomplished Winkelried's feat, though he is dressed in the colours of Lucerne . The name of Winkelried first appears in the 16th century. The hero is still nameless in De Helvetiae origine by Rudolph Gwalther (1538), but Aegidius Tschudi (1536) has "a man of Unterwalden, of

925-438: The last of five witnesses, after one Hans Winkelried, he was presumably still a young man at this time, which would make him of mature age at the date of the battle. He further reasons that the fact that this Erni is absent from record during the 1370s, while Hans is repeatedly seen as a witness, might indicate that during this time the young Erni was abroad in foreign service . The same name Erni Winkelried however resurfaces on

962-828: The lower ground, and they cut off their shoe-tips for better mobility. Even though they would have had a sufficient force of mercenaries to engage the outnumbered Swiss, the nobility wanted to engage the enemy on their own, because they were concerned that the mercenaries would make such short work of the peasants that they themselves would not see any action at all, which would have been to their dishonour: Sie bunden uff ir helme, und tatends fürher tragen. von schuhen huwents dschnäbel, man hätt gefüllt ein wagen; der adel wolt vornen dran, die andern gmeinen knechte, müstend dahinden stan.  Zusammen sie nun sprachend: "das völckli ist gar klein, söltind üser puren slahen, unser lob das wurde klein man spräch: 'die purn hadns gethan.

Napoleon referred to Winkelried as “the Swiss Decius immortalized” at Sempach. Arnold Winkelried

1184-530: The utmost, against all difficulties." Tous pour un, un pour tous ( All for one, and one for all ) is a motto traditionally associated with the titular heroes of the novel The Three Musketeers written by Alexandre Dumas père, first published in 1844. In the novel, it was the motto of a group of French musketeers named Athos , Porthos , Aramis and d'Artagnan who stayed loyal to each other through thick and thin. On November 30, 2002, in an elaborate but solemn procession, six Republican Guards carried

1221-456: The younger around 1370. As for the plausibility of Winkelried's deed, the single-handed breaking of a line of pikes to open a breach, which is then exploited to turn the course of the battle, a parallel is adduced by Liebenau is that of one Johann Stühlinger, a ministerialis in the service of Regensburg , who in a 1332 battle against Berne and Solothurn broke through the ranks of the enemy with his warhorse, creating just such an opening, which

The pikes ( spiesse ) of the Austrian knights in historical paintings are commonly depicted as the long pole weapons of the 15th-century pike square , but this is an anachronism. The pikes of the late 14th century would still have been considerably shorter. As according to the testimony of the Sempacherlied , the Austrian nobility insisted on fighting against

1332-597: Was made famous by Alexandre Dumas in the 1844 novel The Three Musketeers . In 1594, William Shakespeare uses it in his poem The Rape of Lucrece to characterize people who take massive risks, including the poem's villainous rapist king, Tarquin the Proud : Many of Shakespeare's contemporaries recognized him not for plays like Hamlet and Macbeth , but poems like Lucrece and Venus and Adonis . Thus, his use of it could have contributed to more widespread usage, since these poems were commercial successes in his time. In
