Claim: Aristocrat Frau von Zeppelin (descendant of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, creator of the Zeppelin aircraft) felt the band's use of Zeppelin was insulting and dishonoured her family name, as a result, hostility toward the rock group continued on their next tour of the country in early 1970.
Evidence: At a 28 February 1970 performance in Copenhagen, the band was billed as "The Nobs" as the result of a threat of legal action from aristocrat Frau Eva von Zeppelin, descendant of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin creator of the Zeppelin aircraft, over use of the 'Zeppelin' name. 
Frau von Zeppelin felt the band's use of Zeppelin was insulting and dishonoured her family name. 
As a result, hostility toward the rock group continued on their next tour of the country in early 1970 by threat of a lawsuit, unless they agreed to change their name while working there.
