Johann von Schwarzenberg
Johann Freiherr von Schwarzenberg and Hohenlandsberg , also called Johann the Strong (* December 25, 1463 at Schwarzenberg Castle ; † October 21, 1528 in Nuremberg ), was court master of the Prince-Bishop of Bamberg from the Schwarzenberg family . Since the family called themselves zu Schwarzenberg at that time , the name form Johann Freiherr zu Schwarzenberg is also common.
On behalf of Prince-Bishop Georg III. Schenk von Limpurg , he wrote the Bamberg neck court order , the so-called Bambergensis . It is shaped by the humanistic ideas of Italian law schools ( Roman law ) and was the basis for the later Constitutio Criminalis Carolina Charles V , which was passed in 1530 at the Augsburg Reichstag and ratified two years later in 1532 at the Reichstag in Regensburg.
Schwarzenberg was a leader of the Franconian knighthood movement in 1507. Between 1522 and 1524 he was a member of the imperial regiment and in the absence of Charles V even governor of the empire.
He wrote moral-satirical poems, translations (especially by Cicero ) and Reformation writings. He had joined the Martin Luther cause early on.
Tradition has it that he had eleven children with his wife, Countess Kunigunde von Rheinek . According to another source, Kunigunde died in childhood in 1502 after becoming a mother seven times. Of his sons, Christoph and Friedrich are particularly noteworthy.
