 | | Just below Brugg[?] the Reuss and the Limmat join the Aar, while around Brugg are the ruined castle of Habsburg, the old convent of Koenigsfelden[?] (with fine painted medieval glass) and the remains of the Roman settlement of Vindonissa (Windisch[?]). |
 | | Bern kept the south-west portion (Zofingen[?], Aarburg[?], Aarau, Lenzburg[?], and Brugg[?]), but some districts, named the Freie Ämter or "free bailiwicks" (Mellingen, Muri, Villmergen, and Bremgarten), with the county of Baden, were ruled as "subject lands" by all or certain of the Confederates. |
 | | In 1798 the Bernese portion became the canton of Argovia of the Helvetic Republic[?], the remainder forming the canton of Baden. |
