When the people of Appenzell in northeast Switzerland rose against their Habsburg Lord (Abbot Cuno of St Gall) they faced a large force of armoured cavalry and infantry raised from the Imperial cities of Swabia. Aided by men of Schwyz and Glarus, the Appenzellers routed the Germans at Speicher, near St Gall. Two years later, they beat an Austrian Imperial army at Stoss.
