This appears to be an account of The Knights Revolt led by Franz von Sickingen.

There are several really good woodcuts in this book,
Showing troops on the move
Sacking the town and carrying off the loot on their heads
The clothes are nice in this picture
Nice view of the construction of the clothes in this picture. Also a view of the tents in the background
Crossing the river in ferry boats. Its interesting to note the size of the boats relative to the horses and wagons, those are some big boats



Verzeichniss deren Personen, die (zu München vor einer Commission des Magistrats) ervordert und damit (mit welchen) der Communion halben under ainerlai gestalt ghandelt werden - BSB Cgm 4901, München 1571 [BSB-Hss Cgm 4901]
Beyond a register of names in front of a commission of magistrates in Munich from 1571, I'm not sure exactly what this is. It may be a listing of those who either refused communion or from witch trials. It is handwritten in a really nice secretary hand.
