Realising his fortune at having such a powerful giant under his control, the emperor set Martin Krpan on Ber-
davs, the local scourge and personification of the marauding Turk. Martin Krpan defeated Berdavs and chopped
off his head with a magic axe - complete with a handle made of Slovenian linden wood. For his pains the imperial
court allowed him to freely transport and sell salt.
