Willaim Tell is a folk hero of Switzerland. He was known as an expert shot with the crossbow.
In his time, Hermann Gessler, the newly appointed Austrian Vogt of Altdorf, raised a pole in the village's central square, hung his hat on top of it, demanding that all the townsfolk bow before the hat. When Tell passed by the hat without bowing to it, he was arrested. As punishment, he was forced to shoot an apple off the head of his son, Walter. Otherwise, both would be executed. Tell was promised freedom if he successfully made the shot.
On 18 November 1307, Tell split the apple with a bolt from his crossbow. When Gessler queried him about the purpose of a second bolt in his quiver, Tell answered that if he had killed his son, he would have turned the crossbow on Gessler himself. Gessler was angered, and had Tell bound. He was brought to Gessler's ship to be taken to his castle at Kussnacht. A storm broke on Lake Lucerne, and Tell manged to escape. He went by land to Kussnacht, and when Gessler arrived, Tell shot him.
Tell's deinance sparked a rebellion, in which he played a leading part. The struggle eventully led to the formation of the Swiss Confederation. He fought again against Austria in the 1315 Battle of Morgarten.
William Tell died in 1354 while trying to save a child from drowning in the Schachenbach river in Uri.
