Brother Hermann's Life of the Countess Yolanda of Vianden

First translation into English of the medieval German Leben der Graefen Iolanda, making it accessible to a wider audience. Brother Hermann was a cleric in the region of Luxembourg in the last quarter of the thirteenth century; evidence from his Life of the Countess Yolanda suggests that he was a Dominican with, perhaps surprisingly, knowledge of the Middle High German courtly epic and the poetry of other contemporaries such as Walther von der Vogelweide.
