Götz von Berlichingen
Götz left an autobiography in manuscript form ("Rossacher Handschrift"). The text was published in 1731 as "Lebens-Beschreibung des Herrn Gözens von Berlichingen" ("Biography of Sir Götz von Berlichingen"), and republished in 1843 as "Ritterliche Thaten Götz von Berlichingen's mit der eisernen Hand" ("Knightly Deeds of Götz von Berlichingen with the Iron Hand") (ed. M. A. Gessert). A scholarly edition of the manuscript text was published in 1981 by Helgard Ulmschneider as "Mein Fehd und Handlungen " ("My Feuds and Actions").
