Peter Falkner (Peter Faulkner, Petter Falckner) was a 15th century German Master of the Longsword. He seems to have been a resident of Frankfurt am Main, and he was certified as a master by the Marxbrüder some time before 1491.[1] Falkner was a witness of record to the guild's biannual treasury accounting in 1496, a task he performed again in 1506.[1] In 1502, he was elected as Captain (Hauptman) of the guild, and he seems to have served an unusual three consecutive terms.[1][2]

In ca. 1495,[3] he produced a manuscript fencing manual, Kunste Zu Ritterlicher Were (MS KK5012), the earliest such text produced by a member of the brotherhood (with the potential exception of Hans Talhoffer, whose membership is uncertain). Falkner's work resembles to some extent the earlier treatises of Paulus Kal, which may have been his inspiration, and his writings may in turn have influenced Jörg Wilhalm Hutter[citation needed] and the anonymous author of the MS Cl. 23842.[4]
