I believe this was the shield of Wilhem Ritter Von Bamburg, who was a major idiot in the late Middle Ages. He kept falling into the river drunk on cheap wine, so the mayor made him lord of the Alpine towels.

It's in the section "größtenteils erfundende Landes- und Kaiserwappen", so "mainly made up country- and emporers coats of arms"

They were a clean family, a rare, and notable trait in the Olden Days.

I’m pretty sure it’s a joke, unless they spelled something wrong.

Searching for Wilhem Ritter Von Bamburg provides nothing but this thread on Google, DDG, and Kagi.

There’s more reliable information in another thread below.

Wilhem isn’t a real first name, and Bamburg isn’t a real place (Bamberg is).
