Wernher Steiner

Wernher Steiner (1492–1542) was a chronicler of Zug. His writings are among the important sources for Swiss history during the first half of the 16th century.

As a military chaplain he witnessed the Battle of Marignano in 1515.

Most of Steiner's writing was not printed during his lifetime and survives in manuscript form, some of which were edited by his descendants in the 17th century.
