3 unusual facts about Jan I the Scholastic


Jan I the Scholastic

In 1336, Jan was forced to accept the annexation of the Duchy of Racibórz to the Přemyslid Duchy of Opawa.

On 24 February 1327, together with the other Piast Dukes, Jan paid homage to King John of Bohemia in Opawa.

Even after he left his Church career, Jan continued to receive the revenues generated from his former title of Scholastic in Krakow, which caused the intervention of Pope Gregory XI: Jan was forced to pay 5,000 fines and 500 florins as compensation for damages.
