Johannes Suvenus (Johane dicto suueno) was a 14th century fencing master of uncertain nationality, though his name probably indicates that he came from the Swabia region of Germany (Suevia in Latin).[1][2][3] The only record of his existence comes from the introduction to the Pisani Dossi version of Fiore de'i Liberi's fencing manual, The Flower of Battle. Liberi describes him as his principal teacher among the many German and Italian masters he studied with, and states that Suvenus was himself a student of Nicholai de Toblem.[4]
