Real-life D&D character alert! Meet Götz von Berlichingen (1480-1562), the knight who got his arm blasted off by a cannon, replaced it with a badass iron hand, kept questing for over 40 years, wrote poetry, punched merchants, kidnapped a bishop, and retired drunk in a castle. His life was basically a medieval action RPG!

This is amazing, and it’s mostly all true! Read more about Götz von Berlichingen on Wikipedia.
