The alliance of Décapole of free imperial cities in Alsace , it was founded in 1354 to defend their city rights and freedoms.
The name Décapole was not used until much later in history, medieval documents speak rather of 'Richestette gemeinlich im Elsass' or
'villes d’Empire associées en Alsace', especially since the number of cities fluctuated between nine and eleven.
