Ulrich was a member of a wealthy and influential ministerialis family from Liechtenstein in Styria.The name also proved to work well in the plot and provided the necessary contrast to the hero's true name, William Thatcher. However, the character claims to come from Guelders, which was not in Austria but rather in the Low Countries (now in the Dutch province Gelderland). Also, the film is set in the second half of the 14th century, not the 13th century.
