Aegidius (or Gilg, Gilles) Tschudi (February 5th 1505 with Glaris - February 28th 1572) is a politician, diplomat, geographer and historian Suisse; he is regarded as the father of the Swiss Histoire.
He is catholic, even if Ulrich Zwingli were his tutor. Although of a moderated naturalness, it supports the Counter-Reformation.
Tschudi is Landaman in 1558 then annobli by the Emperor Ferdinand I {{er}} near which it had been sent as an ambassador.
Egidus is initially a geographer, since 1524 he launches out on the ways of the Alps. It crosses the collars of the Septimer, of the Gothard, the Furka, the Grimsel and the Grand Saint-Bernard. Following its tours, he writes in 1528 Alpisch Rhaetia published in 1538 and accompanied by a chart of Switzerland. This publication returns it celebrates well beyond the Swiss borders.
It is however as a historian of Switzerland that it is most known. Its ceaseless research and original documentation enabled him to gather the matter necessary to the drafting of three great work. Its work, without losing of their value, however was largely corrected by recent studies.
It also has, seems it, falsified certain Latin inscriptions with an aim of pushing back the origins of its own family at the beginnings of the history of the Swiss Confédération and of Glaris.
