Ketel (Provost)

Ketel also: Henrircius Kroch, Kroth, alias Ketels von Lübeck (* around 1450 , † around 1520 ), was provost of the monastery Uetersen and canon of Schleswig and Lübeck .

Life

Provost Ketel was the successor to Johann Schauenburg and was a nobleman and canon of Schleswig . He was chosen by Prioress Mette von der Wisch and the convent at the intercession of Paul Rantzau , the brother of Johann Rantzau , and regardless of the request of the Countess von Schauenburg at the time, he was deposed “because he owed a number of things, the Prioress and Convent could not tolerate ”. Ketel was identical to the Canon Henricius Kroch or Kroth, alias Ketels von Lübeck, who was mentioned in a document dated February 28, 1510. Ketel died around 1520; Benedikt von Ahlefeldt was his successor .
