Heinrich von Gunterrodt (1557- † unk) was the author of a treatise on the art of fencing published in 1579 that was dedicated to Johann VII of Mecklenburg as, '"De veriis principiis artis dimicatoriae Tractatus brevis" (The True Principles of the Art of Fencing)'.[1]
This book was the first to mention the Walpurgis or Lutegerus Fechtbuch (FECHT 1), which he claimed was given to him by the mercenary, beltmaker and celebrated swordsman Johann Herbart von Würzburg. Who had looted it during his military service from 1552-1553 to Albrecht 'Bellator' II, Margrave of Brandenburg-Kulmbach.
