The historical source materials edited in the 3rd volume, which were collected in more than 40 archives and libraries in Austria, Italy, Germany, Czechia and Switzerland, present Oswald von Wolkenstein as a legal expert, warrior, diplomat, princely servant as well as unrestless politician. He is at feuds with opponents in matters of legacy and engages in the Vehmic courts as a juryman, but is also a versatile servant of the King, princely counsellor and tenacious judge. Through his important role in the local judicature, he achieves high reputation in Tyrol.

The Tyrolean nobleman Oswald von Wolkenstein (c. 1376-1445), a unique exponent of late medieval German lyric poetry, has left behind his artistic work letters, documents and records reflecting his personal chivalrous career and the typical life of his time (social networking, economic foundations, legal possibilities). The texts were excavated, described, transcribed and commented in about 40 archives. With the 5th Bd. Concerning 1443 - 1447 the work is completed. Der Tiroler Adelige Oswald von Wolkenstein (um 1376-1445), ein einzigartiger Exponent spätmittelalterlicher deutscher Lyrik, hat neben seinem künsterischen Werk Briefe, Urkunden und Akten hinterlassen, die seine persönliche ritterliche Karriere und das standestypische Leben seiner Zeit (soziale Vernetzungen, ökonomische Grundlagen, rechtliche Möglichkeiten) bezeugen. Die Texte wurden in ca. 40 Archiven ausgehoben, beschrieben, transkribiert und von Kommentaren eingeleitet. Mit dem 5. Bd. betreffend 1443 – 1447 ist das Werk abgeschlossen.

While the first volume presented a younger son of a family of Tyrolese nobility, who strived after social advancement throughout Europe and who succeeded to act the part of a special advisor in service of the sovereign, the documents of his life in the second volume concentrate primarily on feuds, captivities and resolution of conflicts in Tyrol. The conflict over the heritage of Hauenstein leads to captivity, provisional release, appeal to the king, further imprisonment and humiliating submission to the duke of Tyrol. Finally Oswald is granted a reprieve and acquires the property of Hauenstein. Hatte der erste Band einen jüngeren Sohn aus Tiroler Adelsfamilie vorgestellt, der sich umtriebig in ganz Europa um Aufsteig bemühte und dem es gelang, die Rolle eines Sonderberaters im Dienst des Reichsoberhaupts zu spielen, so konzentrieren sich die "Lebenszeugnisse" des zweiten Bandes vornehmlich auf Fehden, Gefangenschaften und Konfliktlösungen im Land Tirol. Die Auseinandersetzung um den eigenen Anteil am Hauensteinischen Erbe wird gegen den Willen des Wolkensteiners mit seiner Opposition gegen den "österreichischen" Souveränitätsanspruch seines Landesfürsten Herzog Friedrich IV. verquickt. Gefangenschaft, befristete Freilassung zur Beilegung seiner privaten Fehde, Anrufung des Königs und Asylsuche bei den Grafen von Görz, schließlich neuerliche, lebensbedrohende Gefangenschaft und demütigende Unterwerfung prägen diesen Lebensabschnitt, der schließlich mit der Begnadigung durch den Landesfürsten und dem Erwerb des gesamten Hauensteinischen Besitzes einen positiven Abschluss findet.
