Life

It is not known when the Franciscan John was appointed titular bishop of Laodicea . In the diocese of Schwerin, Bishop Johannes was mentioned in a document on October 13, 1393. Frater Johannes venerabilis in Christo patris ac illustris principis domini Rudolphi sancte Zweriensis ecclesie episcopi et ducis Magnopolensis in ponificalibus vicarius ... certified the inauguration of the church, two small altars, the inner cemetery and the cloister of the Ribnitz monastery and granted indulgences .

Bishop Johannes granted another 40-day indulgence on February 5, 1394 for the altar of the holy widows Katharina and Brigitte of Sweden, who are said to have been born near his home country. He also granted 40 days indulgence for the reliquary exhibition in the Lorenz Church in Nuremberg . This document was posted on February 8, 1394 by the then vicar in spiritualibus and officialis generalis of the bishop Lamprecht of Bamberg , the from Schwaan coming John Ambundii (from 1418 Archbishop of Riga confirmed). Here the membership of the order of Frater Johannes was mentioned .

On March 7, 1396 he appears as a witness in the confirmation document of Bishop Rudolf III. von Schwerin for the Carthusian monastery Marienehe near Rostock . In this document, Bishop Rudolf names his auxiliary bishop reverendus in Christo pater et dominus Johannes, episcopus Laodicensis . So he does not mention his quality as vicarus in pontificalbus . In 1396 the suffraganeus and wygelbiscop celebrated dressing in the Ribnitz monastery, including froychen Hedwiges , who later became the abbess Hedwig of Mecklenburg.

As auxiliary bishop of Bishop Peder Jensen Lodehat von Roskilde, Bishop Johann was attested in 1410, for example in a document about the consecration of the church and an altar in Hiddensee .

Finally, on September 30, 1412, Bishop Johannes von Laodicea, as auxiliary bishop of Archbishop Peder Mickelsen Kruse von Lund, consecrated the images of Saint Nicholas and the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Rostock church in Skanör in Skåne and gave an indulgence of 40 days.

Further official acts are not known. When and where Bishop Johannes died and his grave was located remains unknown.
