Franz von Sickingen, German knight (d. 1523)
Franz von Sickingen (2 March 1481 – 7 May 1523) was a Imperial knight who, with Ulrich von Hutten, led the so-called "Knights' Revolt," and was one of the most notable figures of the early period of the Protestant Reformation. Sickingen was nicknamed "the last knight" (der letzte Ritter), an epithet he shared with his contemporaries Chevalier de Bayard and Emperor Maximilian.
