I'm born, raised and still living in Kanton Solothurn. In 1977 at the age of 10, we visited the battlefield and the skulls as part of a school excursion. Great and accurate documentation. Thx. Only one detail: the bear of Bern wasn't, isn't and will never be a Swiss national symbol. It's purely Bern.

I'm amazed to see that the Hellebarde is not mentioned in this documentation. The Hellebarde was used by the Swiss at that time period. The Hellebarde is basically a Speer but it has at the same time a Hook and a battleax on it.

I'm familiar with the battle of Sempach if I spelled that correctly, but this battle i admit I've never heard of, interesting how many times in the medieval era Switzerland had to fight off attacks from the Holy Roman Empire.

_Ossuaries_ (or _Beinhaus_ )were common in Switzerland: the largest one was built after the battle of Murten (1476) and was finally destroyed by the French in 1798. The dead of _Marignano_ (1515) are also displayed in an _ossuary_

Something similar happened at Hemmingstedt a year later I 1500. The Dittmarshers buried the Danish/German militiamen but the nobles and mercenaries were left to rot in the open. Requests through the bishopric of Bremen to return or ransom the corpses of dead nobles were refused.

Two important remarks need to be added to the report. The success of the Swiss 'Gewalthaufen', as they called their combat units, was attributed to the fact that they killed all their opponents. Until this year, it was customary to take prisoners and then demand ransom from the enemy. This practice ceased with the Swiss troops from February 1499. The fighting strength of the Swiss 'Gewalthaufen' had yet another reason: in them, members of whole families often fought side by side. If one member fell, all the others would then throw themselves even more vehemently at the enemy. One could compare this combat strategy to that of the Scottish clans, who also fought shoulder to shoulder, thus developing a fierce determination.

As far as the Austrian knights whom the _Waldstätten_ first met were concerned, they were commoners with no value whatsoever, who could not expect mercy from these nobles. So they developped this _No quarter asked or given_ attitude.

Were spears even used that often like I feel like we would see more wounds if they were common so far from the skeletons I've seen spears we're rare and swords halberds and axes were more common there is so much cuts from swords and axes compared to spears
