August 27, 20223 yr #1 Hello ! I have been trying to decipher this name, I think it may be "Rudinger v_________" but I can't make it out for sure, many thanks for looking, G
May 5, 20233 yr #2 Best I can translate, including the middle abbreviation is: "Rüdiger und Bechelaren" Please read this source: https://intrenches.com/schreibschrift.htm
May 6, 20233 yr #3 The middle letter is a v. as in von, but not a u as it has no diacritical mark above it which a U should have. See the reference that S.ChrisKelly posted. The name, which is in quotes, is Rüdiger von Bechelaren. Rüdiger von Bechelaren is a legendary hero of German mythology immortalised in the Nibelungenlied saga. Serving as the Austrian Margrave of Pöchlarn and a member of Etzel's court, he becomes conflicted after swearing oaths to uphold two factions that ultimately go to war against each other. Steve
