Our first episode focuses on the book, “The Feud in Early Modern Germany” by Hillay Zmora, which provides great context for the types of violence nobles faced in late 15th century Southern Germany. This is part one of a two part discussion. In this part, we discuss the details of feuds, the limits of violence, and how this context affects the practice and interpretation of Liechtenauer’s art.
I am joined by a great panel of discussants:
Adam Franti (Lansing Longsword Guild)
Brian Puckett (Minneapolis Amateur Swordfighting Association)
Michael Chidester (Wiktenauer)
Tea Kew (New Cross Historical Fencing)
William Buschur (Capital Kunst des Fechtens)
You can find "The Feud in Early Modern Germany" by Hillay
