King Conrad III (1093 - 1152) defeated castle Weinsberg in 1140.
Men were saved by their wives |
Enemy surrendered with only one condition - women can leave without any harm and take everything they can bear. When Conrad agreed, ladies took their husbands on their backs and brought them out of the fort. Besiegers did not want to let them go at first but king kept his promise.
