Christophe Welsinger was a doctor in law, lawyer,[4] advisor to the bishops of Strasbourg[5] and finally chancellor to the prince bishopric of Strasbourg[6] under William III von Hohnstein and Erasmus of Strasbourg.[7] As a major figure in the prince-bishop's court he met and worked with the major political actors in the Holy Roman Empire at several imperial diets, as well as with more local lords around the landgraviate of Alsace. His bicultural family served as a bridge between German and French territories, enabling him to do his job as chancellor as well as to act as emissary or mediator in the Kingdom of France as well as the Empire.[8]

Chancellor was one of three major offices in an episcopal curia, alongside the vicar general (pastoral duties and government of the diocese) and the official (judge).[9] Unless a specific law provided otherwise, his main function was to ensure that the curia's acts were drawn up, sent out and kept in the curia's archives.[10]

In most prince-bishoprics in the 16th century Rhine basin such as Cologne, Strasbourg, Basel and Mainz (the last of these being the metropolitan)) a chancellor was a lawyer from a bourgeois background. The elective capitulations (valid until 1675) required that the chancellor be a priest, but in reality the role had become a lay one from the second half of the 16th century onwards, as was the case with Welsinger.[11] Even in Mainz, around 1522, in the permanent council (equivalent to a modern government) the rôle played by a hofmeister fell more and more to the chancellor.[12] Similarly no vicar general is mentioned in the acts of the imperial diets as a diplomatic representative of the prince-bishopr of Strasbourg apart from Welsinger.[13].

  1. ↑ From letter 671 on page 312 of the Duke of Brunswick's political correspondence we learn that Jean-Jacques Welsinger, a royal secretary and notary, came to him in the name of the King of France as a mediator, entrusted with bringing the Duke financial assistance.
