Talk:Battle of Arbedo

Inconsistencies

There are grave inconsistencies between the English and the German WP article on the Battle of Arbedo. These include notably:

• Belligerents (en says Obwalden, de says Unterwalden; and de adds the locals as Belligerents, too)
• Strengths
• Casualties
Deivo (talk) 09:43, 10 February 2008 (UTC) The Strength and Casualties are highly inconsistent when compared to the Italian and German versions of this article. Do we have a reliable source to base those on? Don Durandal (talk) 23:06, 08 December 2008 (UTC)

The figure of 2500 Swiss and 16000 Milanese (including 5000 cavalry) seems to be the general consensus amongst all sources except the one used for this current version of the article. I will edit the article in consequence. Don Durandal (talk) 13:22, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Given the scale of the defeat, I wonder if the Italian version of the figures is the most accurate: "1.330 morti e 300 prigionieri", i.e. over half the Swiss force. This is supposed to be the one occasion when the Swiss offered to surrender, so it had to be bad for them. Lovingboth (talk) 17:15, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
