  William Tell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Tell (German: Wilhelm Tell; French: Guillaume Tell; Italian: Guglielmo Tell) was a legendary hero of disputed historical authenticity who is said to have lived in the Canton of Uri in Switzerland in the early 14th century.
Wilhelm Öchsli published in 1891 a scientific account of the founding of the confederacy (commissioned by the government for the celebration of the first National holiday of Switzerland on August 1, 1891), and clearly dismissed the story as a saga.
Schiller's Tell is heavily inspired by the political events in the late 18th century, the French revolution in particular.

 Methodological Errors | William Tell
Such are the cultural validations with which the story of Wilhelm Tell, the hero of the people and the scourge of their oppressor, presents itself to us.
The story of Wilhelm Tell was crafted to be dramatic, it was custom made for the operatic stage, and as far as national pride is concerned, it was designed, and honed into shape over the course of centuries, precisely to be a repository of national pride.
Tell's feats are first mentioned in Switzerland in ballads somewhere before 1474, but in these early versions there is no mention of Gessler, and no irritating hat or pole belonging to any bailiff appears.

 Wilhelm Tell, Friedrich Schiller Criticism and Essays
He completed work on Wilhelm Tell in 1804, less than a year before his death, and while the theme of revolution was reminiscent of his earlier work, many saw the play as the progression of the hero through Schiller's theoretical framework.

The Wilhelm Tell deck of cards became popular in Hungary in the 19th century.
Perhaps the Tell legend struck a chord with Hungarian nationalists, as a symbol of resistance to Austrian domination.
Of course, double cards are more practical because you don't need to turn them around in your hand to see what you have, but some people who are used to the single ended cards don't mind the inconvenience, and find them more attractive.
