# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Wolfram von Eschenbach lived sometime between around 1160 and 1220, a knight who turned to poetry and composition in an age when most warriors couldn't read. As a Minnesinger he wrote lyric verse, but his reputation rests on the epic poems that followed. Medieval German literature claims him as one of its greatest, a poet who fused the knightly world he knew with narrative ambition few contemporaries matched. The work survives; the man behind it remains mostly shadow.
