Do any knows something about the Hofnarr? I have riden some acounts of the battle but he is not metioned anywhere.

Hi Christoph. I think that's just a legend. The Hofnarr is said to have mocked the Swiss. When they captured him at the battle of murten, they are said to have chased him through the streets of Thurn until he collapsed.
This is still re-enacted today at the carnival in Thurn. The character is called the "Fulehung".

Nice painting,  Sandor. I hope to see all this figures put together for an diorama or something like that.
