Wolfgang von Polheim
- ... that on his wedding night, Maximilian of Habsburg had a childhood friend, wearing a suit of armour, stand in for him in bed with his new wife? Source: (1) (not online): Krause, Stefan, ed. (2019). Das Turnierbuch Kaiser Maximilians I. p. 294.
Throughout his life, Wolfgang von Polheim remained one of Maximilian's most loyal companions...In 1490, Maximilian entrusted him with an important assignment: Polheim was to represent the Emperor at his wedding to 14-year-old Anne of Brittany (1477-1514) which was celebrated in the Breton town of Rennes. As was common in such per procurationem (by proxy) weddings, Polheim played the part of the imperial bridegroom at a symbolic wedding night. Anne and Wolfgang shared a bed but he was fully armoured, with only his right leg and right hand uncovered, and between them was placed a sword.

Absolutely fascinating article and terrific hook choice. This is actually the first time I've ever done a copyvio check and had it come up with a full-on 0%. AGF for sources as I'm unable to verify the books, but I have no reason to doubt their veracity. Excellent work.
