Tips

culture

The name appears in the SUBTLEX subtitle corpus largely thanks to 《骑士传说》 (A Knight's Tale, 2001), where William Thatcher impersonates a noble 'Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein from Gelderland' to compete in tournaments. The historical Ulrich (乌瑞克) wrote the autobiographical poem 'Frauendienst' (Service of Ladies). 冯 = 'von', the German nobiliary particle.
