Freydal
The Freydal is a tournament book that tells the life story of the young emperor Maximilian I in an allegorical way. Due to the sudden death of Maximilian in 1519, the planned printing was not completed. A handwritten version that the imperial secretary Marx Treitzsaurwein prepared based on Maximilian's dictation has been preserved in the Austrian National Library in Vienna. The Kunsthistorisches Museum Viennapreserves a richly illustrated manuscript by Freydal, which probably served as a personal copy of the emperor. The various forms of competition in tournaments around 1500 are in the foreground of Freydal. Nonetheless, he also deals with numerous mummies and dances at the Maximilian court and is thus a valuable resource for dance research.
After Strobl, the name Freydal derives from Freyd-alb , which means "the white joyful youth".
