After a message from the well-known hermit Niklaus von Flüe to the Diet , the parties to the dispute come to an agreement. The compromise is to include Freiburg and Solothurn in the federal government and, in return, to abolish castle law. The agreement includes the prohibition of violent attacks on comrades or their allies; the protection of an attacked place by the others; the punishment of the perpetrators either by the domestic courts or by those at the scene of the crime; a ban on community meetings or gatherings without the permission of the authorities; a ban on inciting the subjects of any other place; the obligation of the places to mediate in uprisings by subjects of other places and the confirmation of the Sempacher and Pfaffenbrief . The unions are to be sworn every 5 years and the three decrees are read out. After all, spoils of war are to be distributed among the towns according to head count in the future.
