Located in History
Article The Walser legislation
It was an issue whether the special legal status of the Walser in relation other alpine nations was an inheritance from Valais or a colonists’ legislation that had been acquired later. In it can be read repeatedly “sicut est illorum consuetude”. But because of Liver’s analyses Zinsli and Ilg conclude that the Walser legislation was the legislation of colonists.

Article Davos
Thanks to its geographical location as a transit land with Strela-, Scaletta- and Flüelapass, Davos was already settled in the Bronze age (approx. 1500-1000 BC). Around the year 1100 the Alps here were joined with the neighbouring Romans from Albulatal. The owner of these Alps however, was the Prämonstratenser Kloster (monastery) in Churwalden above Chur. The name Monstein, from the Latin “monasterium” (Monastery) is also common here. Around the year 1250 all of these possessions belonged to the Frieherrn von Vaz, who were appointed by the Austrian emperor as "Feudalherrn" to settle in weakly settled subject areas of the people.
