Despite his rather meager office in the Count Palatine’s court, Franz von Sickingen’s financial successes would prove pivotal in his next great undertaking: his feud with the City of Worms.23 Balthasar Schlör, a citizen of Worms, had previously sold his debt to Sickingen, which provided the impetus for Sickingen to declare the feud: he wanted to collect.24 On November 1, 1514, Franz von Sickingen sent the city of Worms a letter which stated that a particular citizen, Nicolas Knobellach, should pay a debt that he owed to Balthasar Schlör.	cache/cey-1649.pdf	txt/cey-1649.txt
