Melchior of Doberschütz

His wife, Elizabeth of Doberschütz, was accused of witchcraft for political reasons, and ultimately to hurt him, and was executed in 1591 in Stettin (Szczecin).

The estate had splintered into many small fragments, due to being subdivided each time a Lord died leaving multiple sons.

On 26 July 1579, he received the field mark Zamborst (Samborsko) from Duke John Frederick as a fief, under the condition that he would build a village in the area.

[4] The insinuations and intrigues of the courtiers gradually succeeded in bringing Doberschütz completely into the Duke's disgrace.

[5] In 1591, while his wife sat in jail in Stettin, Doberschütz served in the Commandery of the Knights Hospitallers in Crossen an der Oder.
