Ein schön Lied, von dem edlen Ritter auss der Steürmarck, wie er ein Künig in Dennmarck war, auch wie es im ergieng mit einer Künigin in Franckreich : in Hertzog Ernsts Melodey etc
A 1575 German broadside ballad, printed in Black-letter type by Samuel Apiarius and credited to Martin Maier, sung to the tune of Duke Ernst and meant for popular singing. Its single woodcut shows a mounted knight in armour thrusting a lance at a rival warrior on foot, with a crowned figure and a lance-tipped combat in the lower scene, rendered in bold black outlines with flat hand-coloured washes of red, ochre and green that a designer could borrow for chivalric, hand-printed graphics.
