Thread Name: Lyr Add: William Tell
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: William Tell
If he ever lived, his name was true German Wilhelm as an inhabitant of one of the three archcantons of the Helvetic Confederation, all German speaking.
Forget the Italian organgrinders; he was made immortal by Friedrich Schiller, a born Suevian, in his play.
