Invaded (5th cent. A.D. ) by the Alemanni and by the Burgundii, the area passed to the Franks in the 6th cent. Divided (9th cent.) between Swabia and Transjurane Burgundy , it was united (1033) under the Holy Roman Empire. The expanding feudal houses, notably ZAhringen and Kyburg, were supplanted (13th cent.) by the houses of Hapsburg and of Savoy . Hapsburg encroachments on the privileges of the three mountainous localities of Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden resulted in the conclusion (1291) of a defensive league among them. The legendary hero of this event is William Tell . The league triumphed at Morgarten (1315) and, joined by Lucerne, ZUrich, Zug, Glarus, and Bern, decisively defeated the Hapsburgs at

However, by gradually transforming the bishops into their tools, the dukes nearly succeeded in mastering the city by the beginning of the 16th cent. Incensed, the citizens allied themselves with two Swiss cantons : Fribourg and Bern : expelled the bishop (1533), and accepted (1535) the Reformation preached by Guillaume Farel. The arrival (1536) of John Calvin thrust upon Geneva a role of European importance as the focal point of the Reformation . With its population swelled by Protestant refugees, notably Huguenots , Geneva became a cosmopolitan intellectual center. During the 18th cent., when the stern theocracy of Calvin had mellowed into patrician rule, the city's intellectual life reached its zenith. Voltaire settled there; J. J. Rousseau, H. B. de Saussure, Jacques Necker, Albert Gallatin, and P. E. Dumont were among the famous sons of Geneva in the 18th cent.

Here, unschooled blues singers accompanied themselves on the piano. The music we now refer to as boogie woogie began to take shape when these musicians developed a faster, purely instrumental form of blues for dancing.
