The legend of William Tell was first recorded in the late 15th century, coinciding with the period of the founding of the Swiss Confederacy. Tell is the central figure of Swiss patriotism with the famous apple shot of his crossbow. The legend of William Tell grew even stronger during the restoration of the Confederacy after the Napoleonic era.
