Arnold von Bocholtz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arnold von Bocholtz (* in the 16th century; † December 21, 1632 ) was Vice-Dominus in Münster and Canon in various dioceses.

Life

Arnold von Bocholtz came from the Lower Rhine noble family von Bocholtz and was the son of Wilhelm von Bocholtz († 1595, Drost zu Wageningen) and his wife Oda von Cortenbach. On July 1, 1595, he submitted an electoral commission for the cathedral priest of the late cathedral bursar Bernhard Korff called Schmising . At this point in time, Arnold was canon in Liège and Hildesheim. On July 20, 1595 he sought the possession of the benefice, but in the meantime Johann von Schorlemer had also applied for the prebende who had become free. There was a dispute between the two applicants, which ended with Arnold being able to submit a new papal promise on May 6, 1596, which confirmed the electoral collation . When he presented a certificate of study from the University of Douai on July 9, 1598 , the required emancipation was refused on the grounds that the university was not one of the institutes permitted by statute. The cathedral chapter approved the emancipation the next day because Arnold had rendered valuable services to the elector and the country. It is thanks to his good relationship with the Elector that he received the post of Provost of the Cathedral in Liège. On August 9, 1611 he took possession of the vice-dominate in Münster, which was also awarded to him by the elector. In addition, Arnold was in possession of the Dompropstei Hildesheim, the Dompropteileh Averholthausen and the Obedience Senden . In the summer of 1619 he accompanied the elector on the trip to Regensburg , where the emperor was elected. Shortly before his death , Arnold resigned from all offices.
