Johann von Hoya

Quid hic peccaverat?

Klagebrief Graf Johanns von Hoya, Bischof von Osnabrück, an König Erik XIV. Wasa

Translated from Latin into German by Juliane Böcker-Storch. With a portrayal of the times by Hartmut Bösche.

 

Johann von Hoya (1529-1574), Bishop of Osnabrück and Münster, Administrator of Paderborn, was the last important representative of the House of Hoya. In previous biographies, his youth and his connection with the Swedish royal house have always remained unclear. Research in the archives of northern Germany, in Stockholm, Tallinn, Copenhagen and London has opened up new perspectives. A long Latin letter from John to his Swedish relatives discovered in the process reveals unexpected traits of the Prince of the Church. Juliane Böcker-Storch has transcribed and translated this letter. Hartmut Bösche sketched the environment of the persons concerned.
