Английская Википедия:Erasmus of Lueg
Erasmus of Lueg[1] (Шаблон:Lang-de,[2][3] Шаблон:Lang; Шаблон:Lang-sl[4]) was a burgrave of Predjama Castle in the 15th century and a renowned robber baron.[4]
Early life
He was the son of the Imperial Governor of Trieste, Nikolaj Lueger.
Rogue
According to legend, in 1483 he killed Marshall Pappenheim at the Vienna Court[2] during an argument in which Pappenheim had offended the honor of Erasmus's dead friend, Andreas Baumkircher of Vipava. However, Pappenheim was a relative of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III so Erasmus fled to his castle, Predjama, to escape punishment.[4] He then allied himself with the Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus and started to attack Habsburg estates and towns in Carniola.[2] Emperor Fredrick III sent the governor of Trieste, Gaspar Ravbar, to besiege Predjama Castle. Ravbar tried to starve Erasmus to death, but Erasmus survived on food delivered via a secret tunnel through the cave system under the castle.
Erasmus was killed after a long siege.[4] According to a popular but unfounded legend, Erasmus was betrayed by one of his men and was killed while in his room, or in his garderobe, by a shot from a cannon or catapult.[5][6]
