Johann I (Naumburg)
Johann I , also Johannes († December 27, 1351 ) was Bishop of Naumburg from 1348 to 1351 .
Johann I came from an unknown family. According to Heinz Wießner, various attempts to identify him more closely did not lead to any result, in particular his assumed belonging to the von Miltitz family was untenable.
Johann I was made bishop by the cathedral chapter. Pope Clement VI responded in 1349 with the appointment of Nicholas of Luxembourg as an opposing candidate. Nikolaus even sealed the seal as Naumburg bishop, but made no further efforts to take possession of the diocese assigned to him. At the end of 1350 he was appointed Patriarch of Aquileia by the Pope , and in 1351 the Pope finally relented with regard to Naumburg. Johann I died while dancing. The place of his burial is unknown, other information comes from the falsified chronicle of Johann Georg Rauhe .
