Knight's Canton of Upper Rhine
The knightly canton of Upper Rhine was one of the three cantons of the imperial knighthood on the Rhine .
Structure of the knight circles
The free imperial knighthood in south-west Germany was divided into a Rhenish , Franconian and Swabian knight circle , which in turn consisted of different cantons. Although they were directly imperial , the cooperation had no imperial estate . The knight circle on the Rhine river was subdivided into the "places" or "cantons" of the Upper Rhine Current, Middle Rhine Current and Lower Rhine Current . With the smallest area and the smallest proportion of the population, the Rhenish cantons represented the weakest element in the organized imperial knighthood.
