Answer/Explanation:
William Tell is a man who dared to refuse respect for the Herzog hat. William Tell was strong and capable with a sword as well as a skilled marksman.
Unfortunately, the man who ruled the land was not like William. The ruler, Albrecht Gessler,was greedy and cruel. He was also known for having very little skill as a marksman.
Gessler was intrigued by Tell's famed marksmanship, but resentful of his defiance, so he devised a cruel punishment. Tell and his son were both to be executed; however, he could redeem his life by shooting an apple off the head of his son Walter in a single attempt. Walter trusted his father that he won't killed him. William Tell split the apple with a bolt from his crossbow.
