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.

    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.
