Take no heed of all the words that they speak, lest you hear your servant curse you.

    was appointed in 1512 to the position of general collector of Jewish taxes in Little Poland. He held this post in tandem with Abraham Bohemus, who collected Jewish taxes in Great Poland. After two years, however, he was forced to resign this position, though he continued to enjoy royal protection and remained in service to Queen Bona. In 1524, Sigismund I (the Old), at Bona’s request, named Franczek and his wife Chwałka (Falka) royal servitors, thus removing Franczek from the jurisdiction of any other court but that of the king or, in smaller matters, of the queen. Both were freed from the payment of Jewish taxes.
