1388 CE

The stunning Swiss victory over the Austrians at the Battle of Sempach in 1386 had lifted the morale of the Confederation, which goes on to win victory in all the subsequent actions of the Austro-Swiss War, including the Battle of Näfels in 1388, in which the forces of Glarus lie in ambush, scatter the Austrian troops with an avalanche of boulders, then rout both cavalry and infantry.
