Gotfrid von Schwaben

Herr Gotfrid von Schwaben[edit | edit source]

(10th C. Swabian [more well known as the Suebi Germanic tribe])

[pronounced GOT-freed fon SHWA-ben]

(Registered as Gotfridus von Schwaben, the Latinized form Gotfridus would have been written down in the baptismal/birth records, but the individual would have been known commonly as Gotfrid.)

Persona:[edit | edit source]

  • Gotfrid was born in the city of Condistat (today Cannstatt is a district within the city of Stuttgart, Germany) in the Duchy of Swabia, and is an aspiring Minnesänger who makes a living as a herald for hire during his journeys. He enjoys brewing, woodworking, archery, and dabbles at illumination. (Stick figures are his forte.)
