Translations

Martin Huntfeltz (Martein Hündsfelder) was an early 15th century German fencing master. Based on his surname, he was likely born in Psie Pole, a district of present-day Wrocław, Poland; alternatively, it is possible that he was from the village of Hundsfeld, about 20 km east of Würzburg. While Huntfeltz' precise lifetime is uncertain, he seems to have died some time before the creation of Codex Danzig in 1452.[1] The only other thing that can be determined about his life is that his renown as a master was sufficient for Paulus Kal to include him in the list of members of the Fellowship of Liechtenauer in 1470.[2] Attributed to Huntfeltz are teachings on armored fencing, dagger, and mounted fencing.

Treatises

Note that the Augsburg and Salzburg versions of his armored fencing treatise are attributed to Jud Lew, while a different armored fencing section is attributed to Huntfeltz. That treatise likely belongs to Andre Liegniczer, as several other versions of the treatise offer said attribution.
