Solothurn

I think it was the most expensive piece in the last auction Sinkona had on shooting medals.

And it's a piece from Solothurn.

And I simply want to show you the beauty and the histories that are behind these medals, because I think we also should just enjoy what they can tell us what they can uh what what we can learn from them I don't remember the price it brought.

The Solothurn.

19,000.

19,000.

for 19,000 Swiss francs.

So I think that's rather affordable.

And then we have the first documented arrival of the Romas, historically called Gypsies, in Switzerland around 1418.

Contemporary accounts place groups in Zurich, Basel, Bern, and Solothurn.

The Council of Europe likewise dates documented Roma arrivals in Switzerland to 1418. but look what happens immediately around that date.

1415, the Bernese or the Swiss forces seize the Habsburg ancestral territory in Argonne.

So Bern, for example, has...

An alliance with Fitzberg, an alliance with Solothurn, an alliance with the nobles of Savoy, an alliance with the rural lands of Valais, an alliance with like just basically just a whole bunch of ones.

And these people don't necessarily have alliances.

So Fitzberg and Valais don't necessarily have alliances with each other, but they both have alliances with Byrne.
