League of God's House
The family's political power was not broken until the Helvetic Republic put an end to the Three League's sovereignty in 1798. Franz Simon von Salis-Zizers, commander of the 7th French Guards Regiment of the Bourbons and in 1809 President of the League of God's House carried out a coup in 1814. In 1832 he led Pope Gregory XVI two Swiss regiments to assert the Papal State. General Johann Ulrich von Salis-Soglio was commander-in-chief of the conservative Sonderbund alliance in the Sonderbund War in 1847, while Johann Gaudenz Dietegen Count von Salis-Seewis took part in the Revolutions of 1848 as the radical democratic commander of a militia; in 1850 he was governor in Chur.
