THE SECULAR NEPOTISM OF LEOPOLD GROLZCH



THE SECULAR NEPOTISM OF LEOPOLD GROLZCH

Leopold Grolzch was a part time candelabra buffer from Buffenwezal, a small village on the outskirts of Leipzig.
He was an only child of an unholy union between a defrocked priest and the village hag. 

He had led a lonely and troubled childhood, as when he was only eight years old his mother was drowned at the local Ducking Stool by the regional “Witchfinder General".
At the same time his father was excommunicated and exiled from the Bishopric after an unsavoury encounter with the Mayors daughters, involving an unnaturally tight pair of lederhosen, a piglet and a felt pork pie hat.  

At an early age he was placed in the care of the local monastery and in particular a Franciscan friar named  Heinrich  Hasselhoff.

The Monk was a seven foot giant with a pale complexion and a complicated habit of sneezing whenever  he came in to contact with another human being. However, by a strange coincidence he was immune to young Leopold Grolzch and for this reason was very fond of the child.
