Basel

 

main

 

 

 

Established from the 6th century in northwestern Switzerland, with temporal territories (a Principality) in what is now modern Switzerland, France, and Germany. It is the site of Switzerlands first university (est. 1460), and the location of an important church council 1431-1449. Owing to the Protestant sentiments of the populace of the city of Basel, the ecclesiastic seat was relocated to Porrentruy 1525-1792.
