Live and act

Nicolaus Fransoyser was the son of Johann Fransoyser and his wife Margaretha. In 1311 he married Emeke (Emengardis) de Monte († 1319), who came from an influential Hamburg councilor family. Fransoyser became a councilor before 1316 and in 1319, together with three other councilors, owned the jurisdiction assigned by the Count of Holstein over the parish of Eppendorf and the village of Hummelsbüttel . In the documents about acquisitions by the St. Johannis Monastery , Fransoyser is listed several times together with other mayors and councilors. Count Johann III. bequeathed him tithing of the property in Hammerbrook in 1340 .

After violent arguments in the cathedral with the pastor of Bargteheide , Fransoyser was threatened with a ban in 1330, which the councilor was able to avert. In 1332 Fransoyser became mayor of Hamburg. From 1336 to 1355/56 he represented the city in a leading position in long disputes with the cathedral chapter about the inner city areas of influence. He was partly responsible for the escalation of the conflicts that led to an 18-year interdict in 1338 . The reason for this were attacks against clergy and their property. Complicated and costly legal disputes followed at the Roman Curia in Avignon . In 1339 Fransoyser is said to have pronounced a ban on the transfer of worldly goods into intellectual property during a burial parade . He also represented this position in negotiations in April 1354 with Pope Innocent VI. in Avignon. Hartwicus de Salina, procurator of the cathedral chapter, accused Fransoyser of actions hostile to the church and faith, including unlawful action against clergy, church freedom, disregard of the jurisdiction of the provost of the cathedral and incorrect ideas about masses for the dead. The resulting measures against Fransoyser are not known.

After Emperor Charles IV had mediated the disputes in 1355/56, a settlement was reached. When Franzoyser's death in 1361 the disputes were settled.
