If memory serves it is "could be" not "was" - plenty of abbots and landed knights who were not sovereigns.
But to answer your original question:
I'm not sure about the Germans, but there used to be a Nottingham-based
group - I believe they manufactured wooden boards for games and used to
hold the UK license for Dungeons & Dragons - that made a technically low
fantasy game set in a fantasy version of late medieval/renaissance Germany.
They're pretty obscure outside their field of specialty, so you might not have
heard of them...
