Die Murten Schlacht is a 1626 German broadside song-book printed under the name of Veit Weber, recounting the 1476 Battle of Murten, when the Swiss Confederates fought Duke Charles of Burgundy, for a general German-reading public. Its woodcut below the title shows armoured men in close combat with pikes and halberds across a rough landscape, a dense, busy composition a designer could use for crowd and battle layout.
