     Michel Beuther, son of Paul Beuther, was born circa 1460.1

Circa 1480-1482, Michel served the prince-bishops of the Duchy of Würzburg at court at Würzburg, Bayern, Holy Roman Empire (Germany),1,2, and at Schloß Hohenberg an der Wern circa 1483-1491.1,2 Michel was a tax administrator at Schloß Karlburg, Karlstadt, Unterfranken, Bayern, Holy Roman Empire (Germany), c 1492-1513.1,2 He received the assignment to supply the castle with wine and food, but was impeded by the mayor and his council, who only allowed him to have the victuals delivered on the 2nd Easter day. They also ignored the bishop's order to place an additional ten to twelve men at the castle for defense. The bailiff Edres von Sand and his seven peers had no chance to defend the large castle, so simply left for Würzburg. When they left, the castle was burned and destroyed on 15 May 1525. At the end of the farmer rebellion a tribunal was held on the 16th and 17th of August. Nine of the participants in the uprising were beheaded by sword. It is not clear how Michel acted during the revolt. To his defense he said that the citizens of Karlstadt forced him to be on their side, and the give up the keys to the tax office. He was compelled to remain in Karlstadt, and to act as the other residents. Michel's son, Michael, believed that his father was taken prisoner and removed to the same camp as the rebels. Michel never commented himself.3
