The war in this quarter was memorable for Conds last, and Williams first, battle, the desperate and indecisive engagement of Seneffe (August 11th), in which the two armies lost one-seventh of their strength in killed alone.

The first war of Kappel ( Erster Kappelerkrieg) was an armed conflict in 1529 between the protestant and the catholic cantons of the Old Swiss Confederacy during the reformation in Switzerland.
After numerous minor incidents and provocations from both sides, a protestant pastor was burned on the stake in Schwyz in 1529, and in retaliation Zürich declared war.
Legend has it that instead of fighting, the two armies peacefully shared a milk soup, known as the Kappeler Milchsuppe, cooked in a pot placed exactly on the cantonal border between Zürich and Zug, while a peace was negotiated.
