中世纪欧洲骑士 P3 - Knights_S01E03_The Last of Their Kind.UMMU.NET

Since they never really died, they live on today. In movies, in video games and in festivals. Knights. How did they survive ambushes, feuds and sieges? How did they win in single combat? Or in major battles? Why did they fight in tournaments? And what made them a legend? The world of the knight changed dramatically in the late middle ages. With returns from the land falling short, some knights began looking for other sources of income. Like the marauder Gutz von Berlichingen. And I will complain to the emperor that Götz is a bad robber and breaks his country's peace. You've got a big mouth, don't you? On your knees and hands to the tree. Hands to the tree, I say! Only with a car on the road. He has to pay for that. It's the third time this year that you take everything from me. My dear, all good things are three. And three is a good number. 3000 gold. But I can't pay that much. You take everything from me. I'm ruined. I'm tearing up. You've got a good eye, Götz. 3000. And up to Johanni on the Hornburg. But it's the last time. As God wills. And if he doesn't cross my land again? I swear it. By God Almighty. And now disappear. Now go! 3000 to Johanni. For hundreds of years, knights had been the masters in their own domains. For generations, they had made laws and judged their vassals. Many of these people were serfs. All of them had to provide services and pay taxes. But by the 16th century, these revenues were declining. At Hornburg Castle on the river Neckar, there lived one of the most notorious knights.
