The inheritance of the Margrave of Baden

Emelda Bush, Sevalanz Grimble and Grapella Colswain are planning a long weekend in Bamster (a medieval town near Gundelfingen). They check the place out with Jorvik Stilten who tells them that in 1327 Gundelfingen was sold by Friedrich of Freiburg to Schnewelin Bernlapp, though in 1507, his successor Balthasar von Blumeneck sold it to the Margrave of Baden.  Just north of the town is the "Roßkopfturm", a 115 ft high lattice tower that was built in 1889, and offers a panoramic view of Freiburg. In 2003, four wind turbines were built nearby, and one of these is standing on the section of the mountain belonging to Gundelfingen.  However as they plan Grapella realises that she will need a babysitter for Prigentia.
