Battle of Dornach
At the Battle of Dornach on 22 July 1499, the troops of Emperor Maximilian I were decisively beaten by the Old Swiss Confederacy close to the Swiss village of Dornach (). This concluded the Swabian War, between the Swiss and the Swabian League, and amounted to de-facto independence of Switzerland from the Holy Roman Empire, acknowledged by Maximilian in the Treaty of Basel on 22 September (the independence was however not formally recognized until the Peace of Westphalia of 1648).
