Saukrieg

Because of the bishop's inheritance, a dispute arose between him and the dead brother's sons, in particular John of Carlowitz and Zuschendorf.

The Carlowitzes feuded with the new bishop and hunted him out of his residenz at Stolpen.

A small body of armed men invaded the villages around Stolpen and Wurzen and caused considerable damage.

In 1558, because there was no longer anywhere in his estate where the bishop was safe, he had to flee from his enemy to Prague.

According to the settlement agreed, John of Carlowitz was reputedly given 4,000 gulden from the bishop for expenses incurred.
