Hi Wolf,

...

I have also changed some names in English - could you, please, check once more (can't find your last mail on this).

Yes, you missed Solothurn.

I'll make a note of this (hope not to loose it again)

I suspect, but will have to search more thoroughly, that English uses Freiburg.

I'll wait for your confirmation : as the tendency seems to be to use the name used locally I would suspect, however, that we should stick to Fribourg, as the canton is dominated by the French speaking population.

Also, I have found at least one history book which uses Grey Leagues instead of Graubuenden. I need to research further to find out how common this is however.

This certainly sounds weird to me : I'm not sure how the name was created, but seem to recall that "Grau" had nothing to do with the colour grey - I'll check this.

Rick

Best regards - Wolf
