		Of course, the borders between Swabian and Alemanic (in the south-west) and Franconian (in the north-east) are not very sharp.

	SCJ Abstracts, Volume 30 (1999)
		The response of the Swabian League to the early stages of the Peasants' War of 1525 can only be properly interpreted in the context of the League's previous experiences with peasant disobedience.
		There was no reason to expect that such procedures would not work once again when the Swabian League was confronted with peasant unrest in late 1524 and early 1525.
		Thus the Swabian League's negotiations with the rebellious peasants during this period should not be dismissed as merely delaying tactics.
