William Tell
William Tell was a Swiss
legendary hero who symbolized
the struggle for political and individual
freedom. According to popular legend,
he was a late 13th and early 14th century

Map of Medieval Europe
peasant who defied Austrian authority, was
forced to shoot an apple from his son’s
head, was arrested for threatening the
governor’s life, saved the same governor’s
life en route to prison, escaped, and
ultimately killed the governor in an ambush.
These events supposedly helped spur the
people to rise up against Austrian rule

The Tell legend attained worldwide renown through
the play Wilhelm Tell (1804) by the German
dramatist Friedrich von Schiller.
Friedrich von Schiller
That play was the inspiration
for the four act opera "William Tell"
composed by Rossini (withs its French
Étienne de Jouy
anHippolyte Bis).
