Johannes de Piscina

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johannes de Piscina was mayor (consul) of the city of Brilon from 1248 to 1250.

Life

Johannes de Piscina is mentioned as mayor in the oldest surviving document of the city from August 17, 1248. In this function, together with the city council, he promised the Bredelar monastery an annual pension of one mark pfennigs for an annual memory in favor of Johann von Padberg the Elder. This was preceded by a comparison with Johann von Padberg the Younger. In 1250 he gave the Bredelar monastery some goods near Rösenbeck for the soul of his father Gernandus, who was also buried in the monastery . The father Gernand was originally called Gernand von Brilon. After moving to the Kreuziger district, he called himself de Piscina (from the fish pond). As late as 1258, Johannes was named as a witness in a deed of donation for the Bredelar monastery.

In city feuds, the mayor was in charge of the city's armed forces, and he also had the right to pardon harsh convictions by the city court for criminal offenses. He could pardon the death penalty.
