On the Fencing Grounds yesterday morning Kevin Maurer and Chris VanSlambrouck chat about the Marxbruder. oh and if you don't know who the Brotherhood of St. Mark were here is an excerpt from Chris's up coming workbook of all things Meyer:
"On August 10th, 1487 Emperor Friederich III (1415-93) dramatically increased the renown and honor of being a member of the Brotherhood of Saint Mark by granting them the Imperial Privilege to teach fencing and certify masters of the sword in two hands. This made the Marxbrüder the undisputable gatekeepers of the Fechtkunst in the Empire. Being recognized as “Marxbrüder approved” carried some societal clout in the Holy Roman Empire, because it gave such a powerfully backed preference. I imagine that frustrated the masters of defense (Schirrmeister) unaffiliated with the now privileged Brüderschaft (Brotherhood) some of them were surely members or students of the Liechtenauer Tradition."
