Description
Friulian knight, condottiero and fencing master (fl. 1381–1409), the earliest
Italian master whose treatise survives. He studied with many Italian and German
masters, above all Johane called Suveno, fought five duels against rival
masters, and trained famous condottieri. For Niccolò III d'Este he wrote Il
Fior di Battaglia (about 1409) on wrestling, dagger, sword, poleaxe and spear.
