The versions of 'Graf Friedrich' are somewhat numerous, and there is a general agreement as to all essentials. They are: #A#, a Nuremberg broadside "of about 1535," which has not been made accessible by a reprint. #B#, a Swiss broadside of 1647, without place, "printed in Seckendorf's Musenalmanach für 1808, p. 19;" Uhland, No 122, p. 277; Mittler, No 108; Wunderhorn, II, 293 (1857); Erk's Liederhort, No 15^a, p. 42; Böhme, No 79, p. 166: also, in Wunderhorn, 1808, II, 289, with omission of five stanzas and with many changes; Simrock, No 11, p. 28, omitting four stanzas and with changes; as written down by Goethe for Herder, Düntzer u. Herder, Briefe Goethes, u.s.w., Aus Herder's Nachlass, I, 167, with the omission of eight stanzas and with some variations. #C#, Wunderhorn (1857), II, 299, from the Schwarzwald,==Erlach, IV, 291, Mittler, No 113. #D#, Taschenbuch für Dichter, u.s.w., Theil VIII, 122, from Upper Lusatia,==Erlach, III, 448, Talvj, Charakteristik, p. 421. #E#, from the Kuhländchen, Meinert, p. 23,==Mittler, No 109. #F#, Hoffmann u. Richter, Schlesische V. L., No 19, p. 35,==Mittler, No 112, Erk's Liederhort, No 15, p. 40. #G#, Zingerle, in Wolf's Zeitschrift für deutsche Mythologie, I, 341, from Meran. #H#, from Uckermark, Brandenburg, Mittler, No 114. #I#, Hesse, from oral tradition, Mittler, No 111. #J#, Erk u. Irmer, II, 54, No 54, from the neighborhood of Halle,==Mittler, No 110. #K#, from Estedt, district of Magdeburg, Parisius, p. 31, No 9. A Danish ballad, 'Den saarede Jomfru,' Grundtvig, No 244, IV, 474, has this slight resemblance with 'Graf Friedrich:' While a knight is dancing with a princess, his sword glides from the scabbard and cuts her hand. To save her partner from blame, she represents to her father that she had cut herself with her brother's sword. This considerateness so touches the knight (who is, of course, her equal in rank) that he offers her his hand. The Danish story is found also in Norwegian and in Färöe ballads.
