Grindelwald Info?

In searching for some clues about who the wizard Grindelwald might be,
I came upon this passage. It refers to the uprisings and rebellions
which occurred in the Swiss village of Grindelwald about 600 years ago:

1349: The valley's inhabitants challenge the monastic rule. In a
petition dated 3rd January, 1349, the community of Grindelwald
encompassing all of the Lütschinen valley, had formed an alliance with
the inhabitants of Unterwalden to gain mutual support against the
Interlaken monastery. The monastery, however, summoned help from the
ruling body in Berne and the uprising was "nipped in the bud". The
Wilderswil rebellion was stopped in a similar manner. On the 28th
February, 1349 a letter ensued demanding that the inhabitants of
Grindelwald renounce their alliance with Unterwalden and must once
again submit to the rule of the monastery and its protecting power in
the city of Berne. 

I don't really know if this is helpful, but it does seem to correlate
somehow to the goblin rebellions (forming alliances and rising up
against the WW?). Any ideas or more info?
