Paul Hektor Mayr
Description
Augsburg patrician and city official who spent lavish sums compiling huge
illustrated compendia of fencing manuscripts to preserve the older German
teachings; at least three survive. He likely trained with the masters of the
Augsburg fencing guild. His spending led to embezzlement and his execution in
1579.
