The Letter of Alliance («Bundesbrief») from 1524
Andreas, abbot of Disentis, Hans von Marmels, lord of Rhäzüns, and the jurisdictions of the Three Alliances signed an alliance treaty on 23 September 1524 in Ilanz. Thus, for the first time, the Three Leagues within the Alliance (the Upper, or Grey, League; the League of the Ten Jurisdictions, and the League of God’s House) had their own common constitution. This treaty is also considered the founding document of the Free State of the Common Three Alliances (in German).Photo: State archive, Graubünden, StAGR A I/01 Nr. 073
