WHAT DOES WINKELRIED MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Winkelried

Winkelried was a family of Unterwalden, recorded as members of the lower nobility during the second half of the 13th century and as commoners during the 14th to early 16th centuries. The name is mostly associated with Arnold von Winkelried, the hero of the Battle of Sempach in Swiss historiography. Because of the importance of Arnold Winkelried in 19th-century Swiss nationalism, much research has gone into the genealogy of this family. Their origin was presumably in the territory of Ennetmoos in Nidwalden, where a toponym Wichried has survived into modern times. The first recorded member of this family was the knight Rudolf von Winkelried, attested in a letter dated to the 1240s. Heinrich von Winkelried was probably a son of Rudolf, als recorded as a knight and ministerialis of count Rudolf von Habsburg, between 1275 and 1303. Heinrich became connected him with a legend of a dragon fight, first recorded by Etterlin. Abbot Rudolf I of Engelberg who lived during the same period may also have been a member of the family. After Heinrich, the Winkelrieds lose their distinction as noblemen.
