Hasn't voted | Thanks Mark. Götz von Berlichingen's castle should be farther east. I need to look up which one it was but I'm sure it was on "Schwäbische Alb", a limestone karst region. But lots of his pals lived here ;-) It actually is quite astonishing how interrelated those knights were even in the middle ages. You'll find memories of lots of them in quite different regions more than 200km apart. And at that time that meant 6 to 7 days of travel! Remember Franz von Sickingen, one of Berlichingen's pal's? He lived on the Alb but had a castle (Ebernburg) near Rotenfels some 300km away.
He sure seems to have been important.... |
