Gotz von Berlichingen was a German mercenary knight who lived during the 16th century. This knight was known also as Götz of the Iron Hand, due to the fact that after his right hand was severed during a siege, he had it replaced with a prosthetic one made of iron. Von Berlichingen’s iron prostheses (both the first and second ones) may be considered basic by today’s standards.
