| Description | The article is part three of a three-piece study on the remarkable career and the social advancement of Kaspar Schlick (c. 1400-1449) who subsequently served as an imperial chancellor to the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire, Sigismund, Albrecht II and Frederick III. The authors aim at a comprehensive juxtaposition of Schlick's "real" curriculum vitae as suggested by the evidence of genuine contemporary sources with the outlines of a merely "virtual" process of climbing in official functions and social status designed and expressed by Schlick himself in a chain of diplomatic forgeries. The part three tries to shed light on the way how the forgeries were used by Schlick and his heirs. The study is completed by an edition of 21 documents mainly from the Schlick family archive. |
