Hans Seydenfaden von Erfurt (Hanns Seyden Faden vo~ Erfürt) was a 15th century German fencing master. Seydenfaden means silk thread, possibly a reference to his occupation, and Erfurt is a city in the German state Thuringia. Though no treatise authored by him is currently know to survive, his renown as a master was sufficient for Paulus Kal to include him in the list of members of the Society of Liechtenauer in 1470.[1]
His name is also mentioned twice in the 1539 Hans Medel Fechtbuch,[2] which may indicate that Hans Medel possessed a treatise by Seydenfaden that is now lost. It is even possible that the treatise on Seven Stances that Medel included was written by Seydenfaden.
