Gaining a Foothold in the Swiss Confederation

With the invasion of Italy underway, Berengar's efforts to conquer and annex the Swiss Confederation in his war for Independence had also begun. Under the command of General Adelbrand von Salzburg, the Austrian armies had marched into the lands of their enemies with a total of 25,000 men. 

Adelbrand was promoted to the rank of General in the last few years of Austria's peacetime and military expansion. He had proven a competent commander during the defense of Salzburg from the Bavarian Occupation of Austria. 

He also was loosely related to Berengar as the brother-in-law of Berengar's cousin Ava. After Berengar had liberated Austria from the Bavarians, the man immediately enlisted in the Austrian Army during Berengar's brief regency over Austria.
