Talk:Peter Stumpp

Apparent self-contradiction
"Although the exact place and date of Peter Stumpp's birth is unknown, examining sources likely puts it near Bedburg, Germany, around 1530. Stumpp's name is also spelled as Peter Stube, Peter Stub, Peter Stubbe, Peter Stübbe or Peter Stumpf, and other aliases include such names as Abal Griswold, Abil Griswold, and Ubel Griswold. The name "Stump" or "Stumpf" may have been given to him as a reference to the fact that his left hand had been cut off, leaving only a stump, in German "Stumpf".[citation needed] It was alleged that as the "werewolf" had its left forepaw cut off, then the same injury proved the guilt of the man. Stumpp was born at the village of Epprath near the country town of Bedburg in the Electorate of Cologne." Kdammers (talk) 17:22, 20 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Right, good catch. I have deleted the reference to Epprath, which seems to be speculation, and done some more minor copyediting in that section. Gawaon (talk) 17:48, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
