Francis Kübel

Francis Kübel was a Cistercian monk from Eger who had studied in Paris and served as abbot of Waldsassen Abbey from 1337 to 1349. His abbacy was marked by the decline and indebtedness of the house: in 1341 he sold the town of Redwitz to the city of Eger.

After dissident monks elected Nikolaus Heckel as a rival abbot, a visitor from Morimond annulled the election, but Kübel himself had to resign in 1349. He died about twenty years later.
