[MR] Question to the general populace:

[Stefan li Rous]

THL Gwendolyn Tremayne asked:
<<< Greetings all! My family is going to be able to visit Switzerland  
this summer, so my question is, is there anything/anywhere that a  
SCAtian/history fanatic should see? >>>

Historical/period places to visit are one of the things I try to  
capture in the CULTURES section of the Florilegium.

Unfortunately, I've not seen much discussion on Switzerland over the  
years, so there's not much in here, but maybe worth a look:
Switzerland-msg (6K) 3/22/99 Medieval Switzerland. Resources.

While the Swiss Guards are period and Swiss, they're not to be found  
in Switzerland, but perhaps of interest to some.

SwissGuard-msg (28K) 6/28/05 Swiss mercenaries hired by the Pope.

Of course if you come across some interesting additions, and  
especially after your trip, I'd love any additions for this file.

Stefan, who hopes to get to England/Europe sometime...
