Laura von Pirkheimer |
Laura (36), the Count’s second daughter, is married to Steffan Truchsess, son of the current head of the Wolfenburg Merchants’ Guild. Laura is well educated, and seeks to be an enlightened noble like her father. The Truchsess family were ennobled by Magnus the Pious, but like many of the newer nobility were quite prepared to work hard to develop their plans. Steffan holds monopoly trade rights on a number of commodities in his own right. Their marriage has all the appearance of being one of genuine affection – indeed it is – but the Count recognised the need to link his family with money.
