This is the epitaph of Jörg[Georg] Frauenberger of Haag at Hohenburg, the torturer of Jacob Auer (see blog post: 1434 Hans Talhoffer and case of Wilhelm of Villenbach).
Jörg Frauenberger the elder is reported dead in 1436. In 1435 he sieged and conquered the famous cave-castle Stein in Stein a.d.Traun in a feud.
This epitaph is in the cloister church of Gars. The life of Jörg Frauenberger was very violently perhaps that was the reason he gave so much money to build cloisters and churches. In 1412 he gave money to to found the cloister Ramsau near Haag.
Jörg Frauenberger served the Archdiocese of Salzburg. Archbishop Eberhard payed him 500 Gulden gold at the 26th July 1430 (see AT-HHStA SbgE AUR 1430 VII 26) for serving him with his castle Hohenburg.

I am a dedicated fencer and researcher in the European Martial Arts from the period from the 14th until the 17th century. In jest I created the Facebook persona of Hans Talhoffer, a famous Fencing Master of the 15th century.
Hans Talhoffer (Dalhover, Talhouer, Thalhoffer, Talhofer) was a Fencing Master, a Contract Combatant and a Consultant regarding Martial Arts and the Arts of War. He was born between 1410-1415 and lived at least until 1482 (latest mention of his name is 1489 in Munich Bavaria).
He produced at least five surviving manuals to the arts of fencing and warfare which were copied several times.
Talhoffer was a well educated man, who took interest in astrology, mathematics, onomastics, and the auctoritas and the ratio. He was ranked highly by his customers who paid a fortune to produce the manuals.
