As a native German speaker, I don't find this word order that problematic. Consider:
"Nimm das Buch schnell" — take the book, and do it quickly. The speed is secondary.
"Nimm schnell das Buch" — quickly! Take the book! The urgency is foregrounded.
Both forms are standard German. The adverb placement shifts the emphasis, not the grammaticality. "Nimm schnell mich" would emphasize the urgency even more strongly — take me, and do it NOW.
Dutch has similar flexibility. "Neem snel het boek" versus "Neem het boek snel" — both are grammatical, with the same emphasis shift.
That said, I have no expertise in medieval German.
