A passer-by saw the wound and the archer and called for help from the castle. The archer was arrested, questioned and then put to death. These cases of archer-wizards were real to the people of the late 15th century. The authors devote time and space to the problem, as well as discussing the obligations of Counts and Princes who have such men in their forces.
They could even remove the whole upper torso, which would make them invulnerable from the waist upwards — a formidable foe. Finally there is the question of weapons.
There are many folk tales across Europe that tell of magical weapons. The Malleus Maleficarum tells of fighters who have magical weapons: there are two distinct types.
There are those who perform incantations with sacred words and lawful charms. The first are lawful, and may find employment with Princes: the second are not and must be dealt with. Again these weapons, along with the fighters and archer-wizards are accepted as real and subjects to be dealt with seriously. There is a great deal of evidence from the period regarding these and other signs of witchcraft.
Much of the evidence would not be acceptable to us in the 21st century but for the Inquisitors of the 15th century there was substantial evidence of heretics and witches in their every day life.
They believed in magic archers and the ability to kill three men every day, in fighters who had sections of their body immune to blows, and in magical weapons — to them these were real. And presumably real to the archers and warriors of the time. There have been native people who believed that spells made them invulnerable to bullets: they did not but that did not stop the natives going into battle believing that they were safe from rifle fire. Did the Germans of the s believe in the wizard-archers: if they did, and we can assume that at least some of the population did, then that belief would have influenced the way they fought.
Presumably the semi-invulnerable fighter believed in his invulnerability and perhaps those he fought did so. A final note: Puncker did not live to enjoy his success at Lendenbrunnen. Shortly after hanging the ring from the castle outside his house at Rorbach he was attacked by peasants and killed by their spades.
