Transalpine campaigns of the Old Swiss Confederacy

1403 CE – 1516 CE

The transalpine campaigns of the Old Swiss Confederacy, known as Ennetbirgische Feldzüge, "transmontane campaigns" in Swiss historiography, are military expeditions that result in the conquest of territories south of the Alps, corresponding more or less to the modern canton of Ticino, on the part of the Old Swiss Confederacy.

These territories are known as ennetbirgische Vogteien or "transmontane bailiwicks".
