Abstract

The author deals with the story of "the last robber baron in Carniola", which became famous with the help of popular tradition, Valvazor and the Romanticism of the 19th century. Based on the preserved historical sources the author tries to establish what is certain in this story, what is possible, and what is only a figment of imagination i.e. what is mythological. Thus, he reveals a new story of Erazem Lueger. The author also brings an overview of the texts on Erazem and presents a genesis of the myth of this knight errant.
