Murder on the castle stairs: At the time of the Council of Constance (1414-1418), Gaienhofen Castle belonged to the Bishop of Constance. Since 1412, Konrad von Reischach resided there, who was married to the Spanish princess Isabella, daughter of King Jakob of Mallorca. Due to political intrigues, he had to separate from his wife. Their son Michael was raised by his father in Gaienhofen for security reasons, as he had a claim to the Spanish crown. On the night of St. Bartholomew in 1417, a terrible crime happened. Konrad von Reischach had invited his relatives and friends to a big party that evening. The ladies appeared in precious dresses and the gentlemen in elegant tailcoats. Thousands of candles lit up the castle. There was lively dancing to music and everyone was in good spirits. But then – in the early morning hours – son Michael was found murdered on the castle stairs. But who were the ruthless murderers? Relatives of Konrad who feared for their inheritance, or Spanish mercenaries hired by the Spanish crown? The only clue that could lead to the perpetrators was the murder weapon – a dagger, as the wounds on Michael indicated. But it was and remained missing....
Now it is up to you to solve the puzzle. Follow the perpetrators' traces through historic Gaienhofen and find the murder weapon to clarify the unfathomable crime that happened that night. A reward is assured to you.
