from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jost I. von Rosenberg (also Jodok I. von Rosenberg ; Czech: Jošt z Rožmberka ) († June 24, 1369 in Vyšší Brod Monastery ) was the highest chamberlain of Bohemia .

Life

Jost I. von Rosenberg came from the Bohemian Rosenberger family . After the death of his father Peter I. von Rosenberg in October 1347, he took over the management of the family property. From 1348 to 1351 he held the office of the highest chamberlain of Bohemia. Together with Heinrich III. From Neuhaus he was appointed by King Charles IV on June 26, 1349 as arbiter of the old Bohemian district of Pilsen . In the 1350s there were clashes between the emperor and the Rosenbergers. It was about the planned construction of a royal castle that Emperor Charles IV wanted to build in his capacity as King of Bohemia near the Rosenberg lands near Frauenberg . The disputes were settled by a peace treaty of March 9, 1357, but from then on Charles IV no longer entrusted Rosenberger with important tasks. Even so, he did not prevent them from expanding their power. In two of the documents that have been preserved, Charles IV. Jost and his brothers even allowed the construction of the Maidstein castles ( document of July 1, 1349 ) and Helfenburk ( document of May 21, 1355 ).

On May 1, 1350, Jost founded the Minorite Monastery in Krumau with his brothers Peter II von Rosenberg , Ulrich I von Rosenberg and Johann I von Rosenberg and their mother Viola Elisabeth von Teschen . In the immediate vicinity they built the monastery of the Poor Clares , who took it over in 1361. They received permission to found and consecrate both monasteries on April 6, 1358 from Pope Innocent VI. In 1367 another monastery was founded for the Augustinian canons in Wittingau .

Jost was married to Agnes von Walsee . In 1380 she and her sister-in-law Elisabeth von Hals founded a foundation for a Bohemian preacher in the St. Vitus Church in Krumau . Agnes died between May 12th and 15th, 1402.

Since Jost died in 1369 with no heirs, his younger brother Ulrich took over the reign.
