Spiez
Adrian von Bubenberg Statue

This lord of Spiez was commissioned in 1476 to defend Murten, which was besieged by the Burgundian armies. The famous Battle of Murten on June 22nd saved the town and sounded the death knell for the Burgundian State. It pitted two armies of 20,000 men each, that of the Confederates against that of Charles the Bold, and strengthened Switzerland's independent status.
