The territories in the upper Anterior Rhine valley were given to Disentis Abbey, and thus removed from the direct rule of Raetia Curiensis, by Tello, Bishop of Chur. The territory was divided into Sursassiala and Sutsassiala. Sursassiala comprised the modern municipalities of Disentis/Mustér, Medel and Tujetsch, Sutsassiala included Sumvitg, Trun and Breil/Brigels. The subjects of Disentis Abbey first used their own seal in 1285. They had their own Landammann from 1371. Cadi became an autonomous commune of the Grey League in 1401. From 1472, the mistral was elected from a ticket of three candidates proposed by the abbot, from the 17th century in free elections. Until 1851, Cadi was divided into four jurisdictions Disentis, Tujetsch, Brigels with Medel, and Trun with Sumvitg.
