Everything about Hans Schilling totally explained
The family of the two
Swiss chroniclers called
Diebold Schilling was originally from
Solothurn.
Klewi Schilling was a somewhat dubious character, and he was banned from the city, settling in
Hagenau (
Alsace), and probably died in
Kaysersberg. His eldest son
Hans worked as a scribe in the publishing house of Diebold Lauber in Hagenau. Klewi's younger son,
Diebold Schilling the Elder worked in
Lucerne as a chancellor. In
1460, Diebold moved to
Berne for a post as a scribe to the city council, and Hans moved to Lucerne to take over the post vacated by his brother. Hans took after his father and went adventuring, visiting the court of
Matthias Corvinus in
Vienna together with the chronicler
Melchior Russ in
1488 from where they both returned destitute. Hans' son,
Diebold Schilling the Younger, was also something of a bohemien, and spent at least two years imprisoned for misdemeanour and for providing refuge for criminals.
