message: as far is i know, the swiss on the milan side were not simple mercenaries. they fought there by order of the "Tagsatzung"(government of the swiss confederation) and so were kind of an official swiss army. --84.73.212.187 18:57, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Swiss role is presented somewhat differently, depending on which historian you read.  It's clear that they were more involved politically than normal mercenaries; at the same time, the departure of some Swiss detachments that were paid off by Francis means that the Swiss were acting in the classic condottiere fashion rather than as an army of the Swiss Cantons themselves.  How best to present this in the article is an valid point for discussion (but the article is in such a poor state that arguing over the exact wording may be a little premature).

replies: text: It's hard to say that this battle estabilished any superiority at all, since, altough being the French/Venetian army numerically superior to the Swiss both in infantry and in cavalry, the balance of the battle was broken only by the further arrival of a force of about 300 light horsemen. If one, Marignano established the superiority of receiving reinforcements at the right moment.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.26.216.209 (talk) 21:31, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

text: Yeah. People tend to think as the Swiss as suddenly appearing on the European stage with the Burgundian Wars (1474-77) and the umiliating defeats they inflicted to Charles the Bold. But really the Confederation had been at war with the Duchy of Milan since 1403, alternatively winning or losing ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transalpine_campaigns_of_the_Old_Swiss_Confederacy ). Marignano had been only the final chapter of that long struggle.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.117.225.64 (talk) 12:04, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
