	Eidgenossenschaft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When used in this sense, the eternal nature of the pact is necessary—the members of the Dreizehn Orte (Thirteen Cantons), as they called themselves, frequently made time-limited alliances sworn by oath with other partners, but such pacts were not considered an Eidgenossenschaft.
		The members of an Eidgenossenschaft are called Eidgenossen (singular Eidgenosse).
		This term is documented in an alliance from 1351 between the Swiss cantons of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden and the cities of Lucerne and Zurich, which referred to themselves as such.

		South America: José de San Martín, Simon Bolivar, Jose Antonio Paez, General Rafael Urdaneta, Francisco de Paula Santander have been referred to as the founding fathers of the northern countries of South America (Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Panama, Ecuador, Bolivia).
		Swiss Confederation: Both the anonymous Eidgenossen who drew up the Federal Charter of 1291, or the liberal statesmen who helped found the modern Swiss Confederation in 1848 can be considered the founding fathers of Switzerland.
		Among the latter, those who became the first members of the Swiss Federal Council were perhaps the most notable: Ulrich Ochsenbein, Jakob Stämpfli, Jonas Furrer, Martin J. Munzinger, Daniel-Henri Druey, Friedrich Frey-Herosé, Wilhelm Matthias Naeff and Stefano Franscini.

	Hugenots
		A persecuted minority in France during most of the period from the early 1500s until 1789, the French Protestants were given the name Huguenots in the time of the Reformation.
		The word may come from the German word Eidgenossen, or "confederates," a term once applied to Swiss Protestants.
		In their struggles for religious freedom, the Huguenots were driven to become a political party and even a "state within the state," headed by some of the greatest French nobles.

		The Alliance was concluded between areas, Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden (homines vallis Uranie universitasque vallis de Switz ac communitas hominum Intramontanorum Vallis Inferioris).
		The participants are referred to as conspirati and (synonymously) coniurati, traditionally translated in German as “Eidgenossen”.
		The league was set up as a league for defense purposes against any attacker, probably prompted by the death of Rudolf I of Habsburg on 15 July 1291.

		These terms were in use between 1519 and 1536 in regard to political alignment as well as to seditious actions within the various cantons.
		Although the Eidgenossen form of the word appears to be the generally accepted explanation of the origin of Huguenot, several problems arise as one analyzes the sources.
		Furthermore, one of the serious contentions against the eidgenossen hypothesis is the philological argument.

		The term "Huguenot" is a 17th century franco-term derived from a German term, "Eidgenossen", which literally means, "sworn companions or confederates." In the 17th century, it was originally used by French Catholics as a generic, derogatory label for all French Protestants.
		But, over time, the term was used to identify a specific group of French Protestants who were followers of Calvinism.
		Approximately 2,000-2,500 Huguenot emigrants crossed the Atlantic and settled in upstate New York, (New Rochelle) Virginia, (Mannakin Town Settlement) and, the Carolina (Charles Town) colonies where they quickly assimilated into colonial American culture.

		When the stock market recovered, the value dropped by 30 basis points (bp) to 1.9 percent on September 15 (estimated dividend 2003).
		Moreover, with a spread of 100 bp below the Eidgenossen, it has shed some of its appeal.
		The payout ratio also scaled back as a consequence, although is still higher than the long-term average.

	Huguenot-Rearguard
		The origin of the name is uncertain; one suggestion is that it is derived from the French word Huguon meaning one who walks by night.
		Other suggestions are that it is derived from the German word Eidgenossen, meaning confederate, or from the name Hugues, a Genevese Calvinist.
		Great impetus was given to the Reformation by the invention of printing.

		Much has happened since the glory days when the Huguenot faith spread across France.
		The intriguing word, Huguenot, derives from the German, eidgenossen, meaning "confederated," because citizens of Geneva belonged to a Confederation against the Dukes of Savoy.
		By 1648 a Huguenot was the name given to French Protestants, who owed so much to Geneva and Jean Calvin.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Huguenots
		A name by which the French Protestants are often designated.
		According to some the word is a popular corruption of the German Eidgenossen (conspirators, confederates), which was used at Geneva to designate the champions of liberty and of union with the Swiss Confederation, as distinguished from those who were in favour of submission to the Duke of Savoy.
		The close connection of the Protestants with Geneva, in the time of Calvin, might have caused this name to be given to them a little before the year 1550 under the form eigenots (or aignots), which became huguenots under the influence of Hugues, Bezanson Hugues being one of their chiefs.

		The theory most generally accepted is that the word is derived from the German eidgenossen, meaning "confederates," the name of the party of freedom in the bi-lingual city of Geneva which thwarted the efforts of the Roman Catholic Duke of Savoy to exterminate all Protestants.
		However, recent writings of Sir Douglas L. Savory of Belfast, North Ireland, an eminent Huguenot scholar, past president of the Huguenot Society of London and formerly professor of French at Queens University, have supplied the catalyst.
		Sir Douglas revealed that the popular hero of the eidgenossen was one "Hugues" and that eidgenossen became corrupted to "Hugues-genossen," which the French easily shortened to "Huguenot." This theory has been accepted by the Geneva Historical Society.

		This is probably not news to my readers, but it’s for the print-it-out-and-file-it-away stack (do you have one of those, too?) Can you believe that a new study (done by a researcher from my hometown) shows that homeschooled students are better-socialized than their government-schooled peers?
