There is a legend that he humbled a slanderer by turning a piece of meat into a
fish. In the English version of Thomas Naogeorgus [Kirchmeyer], The Popish
Kingdom or Reign of Antichrist written in Latin Verse by Thomas Naogeorgus and
Englyshed by Barnabe Googe (printed in 1570):
Wheresoever Huldrych hath his place, the people there brings in,
Both Carpes, and Pykes, and Mullets fat, his favour here to win.
