William Tell William Tell was a legendary hero of disputed historical authenticity. People say he lived in the state of Uri in Switzerland in the early 14th century. He was an expert at shooting with the crossbow (similar to a bow' and arrow, but held flat). At the time, the Habsburg emperors wanted to dominate Uri. Hermann Gessler, the Austrian president of the town council raised a pole in the central square of the village with his hat on top and demanded that all the local people bow before it. As Tell passed by without bowing, he was arrested. He received the punishment of being forced to shoot an apple off the head of his son, Walter, or else both would be executed. Tell had been promised freedom if he shot the apple. On November 18, 1307, Tell divided the fruit with only one bolt from his crossbow, without a minor mistake or accident. When Gessler asked him about the purpose of the second arrow in his case, Tell answered that, if he had ended up killing his son in that trial, he would have turned the crossbow on him. Gessler was furious at that comment. He had Tell's hands and feet tied together and brought him to his ship to be taken to his castle at Küssnacht. In a storm on Lake Lucerne, Tell managed to escape. On land, he went to Küssnacht, and when Gessler arrived, he shot him with a crossbow bolt. This refusal to obey an order of the Austrian officer started a rebellion, leading to the formation of the Old Swiss Confederacy.
