Description

Fifteenth-century German fencing master of unknown lineage, connected to the Liechtenauer tradition, an itinerant master-at-arms who trained men for judicial duels and wrote at least five fencing manuals (1440s–1467), with sections on astrology and numerology. He may have been an early member of the Marxbrüder.
