Anton von Turn

Anton von Turn was the last baron of the Valais house of Turn, holding Frutigen. Succeeding his father Peter III around 1356, he clashed with Bishop Tavelli of Sion: he seized Granges Castle in 1364, and in 1375 his men murdered the bishop.

The upper Valais districts rose and drove his family into exile in Savoy, which bought his estates. He sold his Lauterbrunnen lands in 1395 and Frutigen to Bern in 1400, and died in 1405, the last of his line.
