'''Peter Falkner''' (Peter Faulkner, Petter Falckner) was a [[century::15th century]] [[nationality::German]] [[fencing master|Master of the Longsword]]. He seems to have been a resident of Frankfurt am Main, and he was certified as a master by the [[Marxbrüder]] some time before 1491.<ref name="Medel">Anonymous.

'''Peter Falkner''' (Peter Faulkner, Petter Falckner) was a [[century::15th century]] [[nationality::German]] [[fencing master]]. His early life is uncertain, but he was certified as a Master of the Long Sword by the [[Marxbrüder]] in Frankfurt-am-Main some time before 1491.<ref name="Medel">Anonymous. "Ordnung und Chronik der Fechtbruderschaft Unserer Lieben Frau und Sankt Markus zu Frankfurt 1491 - 1566" (in [[Early New High German]]). Untitled [manuscript]. Comp. [[Paulus Hector Mair]]. [[Hans Medel Fechtbuch (Cod.I.6.2º.5)|Codex I.6.2º.5]]. Augsburg, Germany: [[Universitätsbibliothek Augsburg]], 1566.</ref> Falkner was a witness of record to the guild's biannual treasury accounting in 1496, a task he performed again in 1506.<ref name="Medel"/> In 1502, he was elected as Captain (''Hauptman'') of the guild, and he seems to have served an unusual three consecutive terms.<ref name="Medel"/><ref>The ''Chronik der Fechtbruderschaft'' lists him as Captain in 1502 and 1504, and does not mention a new Captain until 1508. There is no indication of who held the office during the 1506-1507 term, so Falkner may possibly have continued during that time.</ref>

In the 1490s, Falkner seems to have produced at least two manuscript fencing manuals (becoming the first member of the Brotherhood of Saint Mark to do so, unless [[Hans Talhoffer]] were also a member). Sadly, only the shorter of the two manuscripts, ''Kunste Zu Ritterlicher Were'' ([[Kunste Zu Ritterlicher Were (MS KK5012)|MS KK5012]]),<ref>[[Christian Henry Tobler|Tobler, Christian Henry]]. ''In Saint George's Name: An Anthology of Medieval Fighting Arts''. Wheaton, IL: [[Freelance Academy Press]], 2010. p 11</ref> survives. This fully-illustrated manuscript includes a sword section is based on Liechtenauer's Recital and a messer section based on that of [[Johannes Lecküchner]] (though in both cases with considerable alteration and elaboration by Falkner, and several short sections on other weapons which appear to be entirely original.
 +
 
 +
The longer of the two manuscripts, known as the [[Falkner Turnierbuch]], seems to have been destroyed by Prussian bombardment during the Siege of Strasbourg in 1870. What little we know about its contents comes from records made before this time, which seem to indicate a manuscript of at least 111 folia containing an anthology of treatises by other masters of the Liechtenauer tradition, as well as a few works of unknown origin. There is also a possible third Falkner manuscript, the apparently-anonymous [[Cluny Fechtbuch (Cl. 23842)|MS Cl. 23842]], whose illustrations bear a strong resemblance to the artwork in KK5012 and which seems to even directly allude to it.<ref>Based on the caption "Here begin Peter's pieces: the sword-taking with counters and grappling. This is painted according to the Record, or according to the Running Through [rather than] the Record." (''Hie hebendt peters stuck an: die swert nemen mit pruchen und ringen. Lasz ab malen nach deme zetel oder nach dem durchlauffen…[illegible] zettel'') on [[:File:CL23842 47r.jpg|f 47r]]. Compare with the piece on [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ms._KK5012_15r.jpg f 15r] of Falkner's work.</ref>  
  
In ca. 1495,<ref>[[Christian Henry Tobler|Tobler, Christian Henry]]. ''In Saint George's Name: An Anthology of Medieval Fighting Arts''. Wheaton, IL: [[Freelance Academy Press]], 2010. p 11</ref> he produced a manuscript [[fencing manual]], ''Kunste Zu Ritterlicher Were'' ([[Kunste Zu Ritterlicher Were (MS KK5012)|MS KK5012]]), the earliest such text produced by a member of the brotherhood (with the potential exception of [[Hans Talhoffer]], whose membership is uncertain). Falkner's work resembles to some extent the earlier treatises of [[Paulus Kal]], which may have been his inspiration, and his writings may in turn have influenced [[Jörg Wilhalm Hutter]]{{cn}} and the anonymous author of the [[Gladiatoria (MS CL23842)|MS CL23842]].<ref>Based on the caption "Here begin Peter's devices: the sword-taking with counters and grappling. This is painted according to the Record, or according to the Running Through [rather than] the Record." (''Hie hebendt peters stuck an: die swert nemen mit pruchen und ringen. Lasz ab malen nach deme zetel oder nach dem durchlauffen…[illegible] zettel'') on [[:Image:CL23842 47r.jpg|f 47r]]. Compare with the device on [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ms._KK5012_15r.jpg f 15r] of Falkner's work.</ref>
+
Falkner's artwork resembles to some extent the earlier treatises of [[Paulus Kal]], which may have been his inspiration, and his art seem in turn to have influenced [[Jörg Wilhalm]] (especially if he created Cl. 23842).

| If you have a murder axe or a halberd in the hand and he likewise, so hold it straight across on the legs, so that the left foot is forward and the point shows in the face.

Note that this is the Frankish combat. Well prepared, the shield, mace and dagger neutralize.

 +
If you have a shield and a mace and him also, and that you should tread together, so hold your shield straight in front of you. If he cast his mace, so step close to him and strike him at his hands. He must let the shield away. That was good.

| Another piece with the longshield and the mace. If he has broken or casted his mace, then cast also yours right away and follow closely the throw and thrust him with your point between his shield and his left arm to the body or bring him away from his shield.
| '''[66r]''' Aber ein stück mit dem langen schilt vnd kolben hatt er sin kolben fer schlagen oder für worffen so ver wurff den din auch bald vnd folg dem wurff nach vnd stoß ym mit dein einen ortt zwischen sinem schilt vnd lincken armß zu° dem lyb oder bring yn von dem schilt

+
Another piece. If he has brought you away from the shield and the mace, be very prudent with the dagger. If he points strongly at you with the shield, displace with the dagger and allow yourself to be gained. If he pulls the shield at him, jump right away behind you. If he points again strongly at you, you must also bring him away from his shield.

If you want to end the combat and you both have in the hand, so you must present him a thrust, let yourself to be gained merrily. Then, he displaces the thrust and takes [your] balance by the elbow. Take [it] back and neutralize him as you well know.

Here begins the equestrian art of master Peter Falkner. At first with the lance, afterwards with the sword and with wrestling.

| '''Daß ist der text ein gemeine ler zu roß'''
+
This is the first guard. Position yourself with your lance under the right arm. If he canters towards you with his [lance], so let it sink forward, change through under. Thereby you meet [him] and he doesn’t.
Das ist die erst hutt schick dich mit diner glenen vnder den rechten arm Rent er dan auff dich mit sener so laß sy fornen nider sincken wechsel vnden durch so triffest du vnd er dich nit &c

This is the second guard. When you canter towards him, and him towards you with the long lance, so lay yours on the left arm, so that the iron hang under you on the left side, and slash up strongly on his [lance] and with that [yours] goes in the lance rest. Thereby you meet [him] and he doesn’t. That is with the short lance against the long.

+
The third guard. If he canters towards you with the long lance, so canter also towards him and when you come precisely at him, then let your lance fall out the rest with the shaft to the ground, and hold him the iron on his lance and displace him with that. Thereby you meet him and he doesn’t

+
The fourth guard. If you have come with the lance and have drawn your sword, then he canters towards you with the long lance, so lay your sword forward on the horse’s neck and displace him with that and hold him the point to the visage. This is good.

+
Note that this is another piece with the long lance. If you are fleeing, the [lance] being on the rest or else, so lay the lance on the left shoulder and flee away. If he canters after you and want to plant you in the back, so wind yourself on your left side against him and meet him with [your lance].

The first guard here. Lay your sword on the left arm. If he strikes an upper strike on you to the head, so go on high and displace him the stroke. If he then strikes to the face, so set him off with the long edge on his sword from your left side.

Note that this is a good [piece of] wrestling and named the key of wrestling or pointing the sun. If he comes with his right side at your left, and falls on you around the neck, so hit from the inside over his arm, or from the outside.

Note that this is a particularly good piece. If he canters close to you and wishes to work with you and fall on you around the neck, so seize his right hand with your left and go with your right arm over his and seize the saddle tree. This is named the seizing of the forelock. Or grab in with your right hand between his hands on the bridle and pull it over him. Hereby, he falls with the horse and with shame.

If he has been forced down or fallen, so fall also down from the horse and work quickly in wrestling as you know well. If then he falls on the back, so trap him with a leg, with the other one on an arm and work with the sword or dagger. Hereby, he surrenders.

Peter Falkner (Peter Faulkner, Petter Falckner) was a 15th century German fencing master. His early life is uncertain, but he was certified as a Master of the Long Sword by the Marxbrüder in Frankfurt-am-Main some time before 1491.[1] Falkner was a witness of record to the guild's biannual treasury accounting in 1496, a task he performed again in 1506.[1] In 1502, he was elected as Captain (Hauptman) of the guild, and he seems to have served an unusual three consecutive terms.[1][2]

In the 1490s, Falkner seems to have produced at least two manuscript fencing manuals (becoming the first member of the Brotherhood of Saint Mark to do so, unless Hans Talhoffer were also a member). Sadly, only the shorter of the two manuscripts, Kunste Zu Ritterlicher Were (MS KK5012),[3] survives. This fully-illustrated manuscript includes a sword section is based on Liechtenauer's Recital and a messer section based on that of Johannes Lecküchner (though in both cases with considerable alteration and elaboration by Falkner, and several short sections on other weapons which appear to be entirely original.

The longer of the two manuscripts, known as the Falkner Turnierbuch, seems to have been destroyed by Prussian bombardment during the Siege of Strasbourg in 1870. What little we know about its contents comes from records made before this time, which seem to indicate a manuscript of at least 111 folia containing an anthology of treatises by other masters of the Liechtenauer tradition, as well as a few works of unknown origin. There is also a possible third Falkner manuscript, the apparently-anonymous MS Cl. 23842, whose illustrations bear a strong resemblance to the artwork in KK5012 and which seems to even directly allude to it.[4]

Falkner's artwork resembles to some extent the earlier treatises of Paulus Kal, which may have been his inspiration, and his art seem in turn to have influenced Jörg Wilhalm (especially if he created Cl. 23842).

  2. The Chronik der Fechtbruderschaft lists him as Captain in 1502 and 1504, and does not mention a new Captain until 1508. There is no indication of who held the office during the 1506-1507 term, so Falkner may possibly have continued during that time.
