Thanks to Bob Strock and Patricia Fry Huston for confirming my hunch! Now WHAT does "Weibertreu" mean? Cindy Kimes

The fortress of Weinsberg was besieged in a war between the Welfs and Waiblingers and the hilltop fortress had to surrender to Konrad III of Hochenstauffen in 1140. Konrad granted that the women in the besieged fortress could carry out their most precious possessions, so they carried their husbands out of the fortress. Konrad kept his word so the men were spared too. This event is still dramatized in the autumn Festival in Weinsberg, Germany.
