The Hereditary Agreement of 1511
View through CrossRef
Verdicts on the Swiss War now agree that it was a local conflict which spun out of control. In its aftermath the Confederation reached its final composition, with the admission of Basel and Schaffhausen as full members in 1501 and Appenzell in 1513. Were existing treaties to apply to the new members? Yet the status of Konstanz was still not resolved. Only when Konstanz was stripped of its effective independence in 1510 was Maximilian prepared to sign the Hereditary Agreement with the Swiss the following year. While continuing the provisions of the Perpetual Accord of 1474, the agreement forswore any military assistance, but contained a non-aggression clause and a prohibition on accepting each other’s subjects into a protective alliance (Burgrecht).
