"Historically, Eidgenossen was coined in the

Federal Charter

."

I don't think that is correct. The term is found already in the Pfaffenbrief of 1370. See Old Swiss Confederacy#Consolidation. Lupo 06:42, August 16, 2005 (UTC)

this is great! by all means change it back, I was looking for the earliest attestation, but 16th century was the best I could come up with. It would seem that it is also wrong, then, that the term translates conspirati. It is true that conspirati was later translated as Eidgenossen, but it would seem that maybe conspirati is itself a 14th century translation of Eidgenossen. I linked to

Well, the article already did explain it all, and I think the "conspirati" is related to the Golden Bull of 1356 (also already mentioned in the article). I've thus simply removed the phrase. Lupo 08:51, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
