Weisskunig
''Der Weisskunig'' or ''The White King'' is a chivalric novel and thinly-disguised biography of the Holy Roman Emperor, Maximilian I, (1486-1519) written in German by Maximilian and his secretary between 1505 and 1516. Although not explicitly identified as such in the book, Maximilian appears as the “young” White King, with his father Frederick III represented as the “old” White King.
The book is now mainly remembered for the 251 woodcut illustrations, made in Augsburg between 1514 and 1516, the principal artists for which were Hans Burgkmair and Leonhard Beck.〔 The work was never completed, and the full published edition did not appear until 1775.
==Background==
Maximilian I, and his father Frederick III, were part of what was to become a long line of Holy Roman Emperors from the House of Habsburg. Maximilian was elected King of the Romans in 1486 and succeeded his father on his death in 1493.
During his reign Maximilian commissioned a number of humanist scholars and artists to assist him complete a series of projects, in different art forms, intended to glorify for posterity his life and deeds and those of his Habsburg ancestors. He referred to these projects as ''Gedechtnus'' ("memorial"),〔 and included a series of stylised autobiographical works, of which ''Der Weisskunig'' was one, the others being the poems ''Freydal'' and ''Theuerdank''.〔
