So Trithemius and his Hunibald are responsible for Torsten's
Wechtam AND for Alex's Marcomir?

see my response to Alex. The ghost of Trithemius must be rubbing his
hands to see his concoction in worldwide circulation. When he was
still alive, Emperor Maximilian (himself, according to Trithemius,
descending from Marcomir the Cimmerian, prince of Troy [if my memory
serves me well]) desired to see the original of Hunibalds chronicle,
not yet ready, Trithemius ran away to avoid exposure.
