25 2 TYROL PAST AND PRESENT These were the Zoppl, one Jacob of that ilk, who was head of the Rattenberg smelting works, being recorded as the new owner. This Zoppl appears to have enjoyed to an unusual degree the patronage of the Emperor Charles V., whether on account of his marriage to Regina, the daughter of the famous bronze founder, Georg Löffler of Innsbruck, or for other good reasons, it is impossible to say. Anyhow, not only he, but also his father and his brother Michael, were raised

to knighthood by Charles V. Fate did not permit Jacob Zoppl to enjoy his new nobility or Matzen for any length of time. From a deed in the castle archives we learn that he must have died in or before the year 1559, leaving but one child, Anna, of the tender age of three. Her two guardians, one of whom was her uncle, so the parchment relates, sold Matzen with its lordships and fortifications for 6770 florins to Knight Georg Ilsung von Tratzberg. By this purchase Matzen * and Tratzberg came for the third time

Thus in 0ne little town (Hall) twenty one were hanged in one year, and in 0ne summers campaign the League destroyed twenty three castles belong. ing to these gentry. j- In the introduction to " Freydal" Quirinon v.

The crown and the waving plume of ostrich feathers on his helmet distinguish the Emperor. The sword he uses is a “ Venetian Schwert ” with a gold pommel, the knight’s weapon resembling it in shape, as was only fair. “ Freydal

But Georg Fugger, whose vast riches had long nursed him in thè belief that é money maireth man/ and that notbing was denied to him, would not yield up a hope so dearly cherished as that of making Claudia Porticelli his wife. To his determined mind there was a way of doing everything a man was resolved to do. To build a house, however, in one night, and that a house worthy of being thè home of his Claudia, wheii men should call her Claudia Fugger, was a serious matter indeed. No human hands could

Nevertheless, Georg Fugger had no mind to endanger his soni either, The game he had to play was to get thè E vii One to build thè house, but also to giiard from letting him gain any spiritual advantage against him ; and his indomitable energy devised thè means of securing thè one and pre- venting thè other.
