Matthias Grunewald
Is the second son to a minor nobleman serving under Frederick I (the Fair).
Matthias' ancestral lands are located in and around the town of Lutz on the Mur river in Austria.
Matthias was wounded and taken captive with 1000 nobles, including Frederick, in the Battle of Mühldorf against Louis IV.
Held for three years in the Trausnitz Castle in the Upper Palatinate, with Frederick, he went with his liege on the quest to convince
Frederick's brother Leopold to submit to Louis IV as King of the Romans. If Frederick did not succeed, he vowed to become a captive again of Louis IV.
When the quest failed, Matthias returned with Frederick to Munich to be taken captive again, even though the Pope had released Frederick from his oath.
Impressed by Frederick's noble gesture, Louis renewed his old friendship with Frederick and agreed to rule the Holy Roman Empire jointly.
Matthias was rewarded for his loyal service, and has spent the following years travelling in Europe and the lands beyond.
In the summer of AS LI, with much acclaim and gratitude from his family and friends, he was elevated to the Order of Chivalry at the Great Northeastern War, and took the title of Sir.
In the spring of AS LVII, he and his consort AEsa feilinn Jossursdottir won the Spring Crown tournament and were named Prince and Princess of Tir Mara and heirs to the throne of the East. Under the portentous eclipse that fall, they ascended to the throne as King and Queen of the East. When the eclipse once again passed over the Kingdom in the subsequent spring, they stepped down, after much hard work and good stewardship. He has been using his newfound spare time to renew his training in heavy and rapier fighting, as well as archery and thrown weapons. He can also be found assisting with youth activities. He prefers the alternate title of Kurfurst.
(14th Century, Austrian)
